Definitely no Rise Against in Sziget 2010’s lineup!

with a total of 4 comments

Posted by Sziget News on February 8th, 2010 - Permalink to this entry

Here’s an update on the earlier Rise Against rumor. We tried to confirm this with their staff, and we got an answer a few minutes ago from Missy Worth, at their management.

This is what it said:

We will not be playing- we won’t be in Europe in august

Sorry to give you this news, but the information on the last.fm page is inaccurate.

We also got some good news from the Rise Against management – the band will play in Budapest in June.

As you may remember, Rise Against were set to play at last year’s Sziget Festival, but it didn’t work out after all. As it seems, an appearance by the band is possible in this year’s Sziget Festival line-up, as their name has shown up on the Sziget last.fm page. We’re trying to find out more about this and will keep you posted on what we discover.
