Post Malone is the next headliner Sziget announced for its 2019 edition. The American singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, and face tattoo promoter has released a new album last year, so he’ll have quite a lot to show for on August 11th.

Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand has also released a new studio album last year, their first non-collaborative one in the last four years, and the first to feature Julian Corrie (Miaoux Miaoux).

London-based singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist James Blake released his latest album this January. The album did well in the charts around the world – he will be a welcome addition to Sziget’s lineup.

British synthpop band Years & Years also has new material to show – their second album, Palo Santo, was released last summer, has a spiritual and social message as well as a pretty dystopian tone. The band released a short film alongside the album (see below)

What do you think of this year’s Sziget lineup so far?
