Sziget has always been more than a music festival, and the new venue, announced recently on the official Facebook pages, just comes to prove it.
Sziget 2013 will have a dedicated circus venue, having the feeling of travelling circuses in the 1890s.
What’s even nicer is that afternoons will include interactive programs, where the audience will be able to try some circus instruments.
Evenings will bring programs by Hungarian acrobats Recirquel – they were present at Magic Mirror last year, and the program will be concluded by Swing & Circus, which combines swing, electro-swing and circus.
What do you think? Is it a good idea?
Check out Recirquel in the video below.

I will definitely check this out one evening (Y)
Indeed, its will be interesting ;P
May be interesting, but were you looking for this or for a new headliner name? I’m very scared about this year…
@Bender: I think this years lineup is might the best of the past years. I’m really happy with the names that allready are confirmed. And i’m thinking that the remainder names / headliners not be a disappointment. There are enough acts that are touring in Europe at the moment of Sziget
Dizzee Rascal on 8th of August (facebook Dizzee Rascal)
(website)
Hadouken! – 5th of August (on official website, so strange date…)
Ska-P – August 8. (official website).
Katy B – August 5. (facebook page. Also strange date.)
Peter Bjorn and John – also August 5
Tame Impala – August 11 (website)
What is going to be August 5? (Day -1)
Motörhead was also set on this date…
Very strange.
I think some bands put the starting date of the festival on their website instead of the date they’re on.
I hope August 5 will be de 1. day, and we could forget -1 and 0. day:D
So any guesses as to when the headliners might be announced?
New album of daft punk is coming in may, no tour dates yet, but who knows…
ANTHRAX & IRON MAIDEN no play at SZIGET
Anthrax
MORE SHOWS WITH MAIDEN ANNOUNCED:
July 26 Istanbul Turkey – Inonu Stadium
July 30 Budapest Hungary – The Budapest Park
This is a very bad news, I fuckin’ love Iron Maiden!
UPDATE
Facebook page ANTHRAX
“Stoopid Americans! Sorry, the correct dates with Maiden are:
Wed 24 Jul
Bucharest, Romania
Bucharest Piata Constitutiei
Fri 26 Jul
Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul Inonu Stadium”
This made them probable. It would be a dream to have Iron Maiden back!
Iron Maiden every 2/3 years….
Tourdates Maiden end of July:
Wed 24, Bucharest, ROMANIA, with Anthrax & Voodoo Six
Fri 26, Istanbul, TURKEY, with Anthrax & Voodoo Six
Mon 29, Prague, CZECH REPUBLIC, with Voodoo Six
Wed 31, Zagreb, CROATIA, with Anthrax & Voodoo Six
No dates in August.
STRONG PROBABILITY: Jamiroquai
http://www.jamiroquai.com/shows?month=8
It is an almost certain bet that he will come
@Crazyfrog that link is old. We’re in 2013!
Jamiroquai are touring this summer too… http://www.collisioni.it/
ah yes sorry for the link
but I saw that he was touring on 2013(2 dates in France +1 in Italy + 1 in UK)
typically a Sziget headliner
Nick Cave
July 28th Greenville festival Berlin
Aug 9th Flow Festival Helsinki
Aug 15th Le Route Du Rock France
Got to be a possibility?
Björk? She has cancelled Balaton Sound last year, and now she’s playing august festivals in Europe.
I think the remaining 4 headliners will be from these bands all playing in Europe in August:
Nick Cave & TBS
Biffy Clyro
Franz Ferdinand
Kraftwerk
Kings of Leon
Eminem
Iggy Pop
Florence & the Machine
System of a Dawn
Green Day
Nine Inch Nails
David guetta
The website for UK added David Guetta to the line up for Main Stage
Is David Guetta big enough to headline? I realllllllly hope he isn’t.
It’s very very baaaaaad joke
never heard of him …
