Today’s Sziget 2011 rumor: Amy Winehouse at Sziget 2011! 2011 lineup artists Sziget 2011 sziget festival March 28, 2011July 27, 20139 Treat this as a rumor, as that's what it is (or unconfirmed information, if you will): our reader marciinter says that he has discussed with someone from the Sziget staff and that Amy Winehouse will play Sziget 2011. Now, we don't have any confirmation on this (if you know more, you know how to get in touch), but the information does seem plausible, as Amy Winehouse will be touring Europe this summer, and she's in Wiesen, Austria on July 24, a couple of weeks before Sziget, according to her official MySpace. We'll see if this gets confirmed. UPDATE: our reader Sjaakdedraak says Mumford

Thursday playing Sziget 2011? 2011 lineup artists self-confirmed March 24, 2011July 27, 201312 Here's an interesting piece of information, that our friends art and Mellowmaniac have noticed. Thursday are self-confirming themselves for Sziget 2011 on their MySpace page and, since they have a new album out and are touring in August, this seems like very plausible information. The interesting part is that there is also a band called Wednesday that self-confirmed here, a rapper called Friday, that self-confirmed (he's on tour too, it could be plausible) and even one called Saturday, which we didn't find... :) Saturday, also self-confirmed. So far, we only tend to believe Thursday... :)
