UPDATE: The Gaslight Anthem will be playing on Sunday, according to Szigetfest.co.uk.
UPDATE: Mystery Jets are also confirmed on the official Facebook pages!
(Thanks, mandy!)
The Gaslight Anthem is the latest name to be announced for Sziget 2013, and it has a chance to make quite a number of people happy.
Good news coming from a few of the Sziget Facebook pages – The Gaslight Anthem will be part of the Sziget 2013 line up.
This seems to be a pretty good incentive, if you were planning on taking advantage of the early bird ticket sales, as today is the last day for that.

Mystery Jets are confirmed as well!:)

The Gaslight Anthem are playing the Sunday
SOAD is fully out of the picture..
why?
According to several comments on the official FB page and a radio prodcast:
”
Looks like System of a Down were going to headline but they cancelled.
Not so long ago the Hungarian government decided to extradite a convicted and sentenced axe murderer, an Azeri, who had murdered an Armenian citizen in Budapest. After extradition to Azerbaijan, he was promptly pardoned and hailed as a hero. I imagine SOAD didn’t much like the part the Hungarian govt played in this. Sziget must be scrambling for a replacement…”
sake, it would have made the lineup a lot more appealing if they were one of the headliners..
Where the f**k are the metal names!?
I bet that Iggy will play on Sziget this year.
1. He was on Sziget before.
2. He will be in Vienna on August 9.
I hope Iggy doesn’t tbh
Um, haven’t we been through this SOAD & the axe murderer story before a couple of months back? SOAD have been ruled out for some time now because there simply isn’t the space in their schedule for them to play Sziget – plus, all of their dates were announced some time ago, so I’d have thought they’d have been announced ages ago if they were going to headline …
Actually SOAD have 6, 8 and 10 august free on their tour. Hope they’re announced otherwise it will be a poor lineup! This year all people want SOAD as headliner!! Come on sziget!
They have 6/8/10 free, but 6th is Day 0 and they won’t play 8/10 because they are not likely to play three nights in a row
i think if system were booked in already they would have been announced already tbh
I need some informations. Need some headliners. Need some co-headliners. I’m in NEED.
how many more announcements are we likely to have?
needs a lot!
I think that around 30 names still need to be announced, looking at the slots per stage per day of last year..
including 4 headliners, looking at the end of their last youtube video they only have blur in big letters,
they need to hurry the fuck up though, we had 3 headliners at this point last year
I’m pretty sure that Biffy and Guetta are headliners too..
5th No bands yet announced
6th Probably Motorhead (Heavy metal day headliner)
7th No headliner announced
8th Biffy
9th Blur
10th No headliner announced
11th Guetta

End show presented by David Guetta, that can’t mean anything else than Guetta is the headliner for the Sunday. Biffy I think could also be a co-headliner.
I’m not that much in need for new names as some of you are, but of course more acts are always welcome
I’ve been going to Sziget for five years and each year I look forward to Sziget a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as this year. The line up already contains more acts I’d like to see than ever before and I’m also very curious about the new beach.
Biffy and Guetta are headliners. Sziget Italia said that some weeks ago.
In three month … sziget is over…don’t worry…..beeeeeeeeeeee…….
Guys, what do you think about shedule for Main stage?
Will be Die Arzte a co-headliner?
Die Ärzte will be performing in a late-afternoon slot.
I think Die Ärzte will play at 18.00 and Skunk Anansie will co-headline. Skunk Anansie concert in 2011 was the best of the week!
theres a lot of acts id see this year its a great undercard, but ive seen them all before apart from blur, when you consider the strength of some lineups this year download and Reading/Leeds, it kind of makes the lineup look weak, tbh I don’t care too much about the lineup in the day as im always busy having fun and chilling at the reggae stage, but I like a good headliner and dance acts so I can have a party/mosh and a rave til the early hours
Guess they’ve got some financial problems with the loss of sponsors and the government demanding more money for the use of the island… Still a pretty good lineup, especially the electronic part. And Sziget has never been about big headliners to me anyway
AS I wrote like a month ago,no SOAD because of Orbán Vektor,and no more headliners(ex: White Lies has been headliner a couple of years ago)Skunk Anansie and Mika or Editors could be headliner in Sziget..
Non of them will be headliner. The only headliners are Blur, Biffy Clyro and Guetta. Don’t forget they annouced Prodigy in June in 2011 and Prince even in July!
Editors and Skunk Anansie arent headliners. That was told at their announcement. So i think we can expect some more beautiful names. Anyway, Sziget is always beautiful
@Bender: can you show me where Sziget Italia said that Biffy will be a headliner?
Can’t find now, but I saw if for sure and the friend that’s with me remembers it as well
I highly doubt biffy to be headlining, maybe guetta. Sure don’t hope so though.
I tried to find it too, but couldn’t find it.
Biffy, Blur and David Guetta are headliners i also read the same about biffy on the dutch page
ive not seen it say that biffy was headlineing and theyre in the mix of all the other normal bands on the latest poster in the bottom left corner –> http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o774/jamie_lambo/Untitled_zps4fb10ea2.png
I know biffy are big enough to headline uk festivals but don’t know how big they are in europe
why not Fatboy Slim as a headliner??
http://fatboyslim.net/wordpress/gigs/
he is in Europe and already came to Sziget!
I hope not personally, too n
Too many if that kinda acts so far for my liking
BRMC look possible
http://blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/tour/
Also Smashing Pumkins on the 7th Aug is a possibility
http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/tour/
Then again you couild go on and on
Metronomy possible
http://www.metronomy.co.uk/tour/
The Walkmen as well
http://thewalkmen.com/shows/
Also My bloody valentine
http://www.mybloodyvalentine.org/gigs.aspx
Would be happy with all or any of the 4 possibities
I haven’t heard of most of those, but Smashing Pumpkins would be cool
Smashing Pumpkins and Metronomy would be great!
