Sziget 2026

[CCester]

It seems like they updated each act with the day they will play on. Sombr and Zara on the same day, Florence and Capaldi also. So we are mossing a headliner for Saturday. And a possible co for Friday (and saturday).

Still think it's a weak lineup so far, nothing really excites me more than that, Swimming Paul and Loyle carner and thats about it

On the lineup page. Hover the mouse over the picture and you’ll see the day.

That gives everyone a big sigh of relief, that Capaldi is only subbing rather than the main act of the day.

 

Can't grumble with Florence headlining and Capaldi subbing, thats a pretty strong combo.

Agreed. I've stated, repeatedly, here and elsewhere that there's no way Lewis Capaldi won't be a closing headliner.

 

So, erm, yeah, that worked out well for me.

[thetime]

They've done well getting these headliners imo, especially with the on/off situation.

 

21P, BMTH, Florence and Sombr/Zara being the typical Sziget weaker headliner day. Although that could just be me knowing nothing about Sombr.

 

I wonder who the 5th is?

 

Some nice names already on the lineup with Biffy, Wolf Alice, Underworld. 

[FestivalJamie]

As expected , Sombr and Zara Larsson will team up to form a co-headliner pairing.

 

The main genre which is missing from the headliners is EDM / Rap. Therefore, it would be logical to expect a large name in one of these two categories to close the festival.

 

I am not surprised there is no larger name than the hints which were released last week, I know a lot of people will be disappointed but we have to remember the festival almost got cancelled this year.

 

I still think acts like Wolf Alice, Loyle Carner and Parcels are very strong bookings. However, whether the line-up as a whole justifies the ticket price, is a difficult one to say. Especially given the festival has now been reduced to 5 days, it doesn’t feel as good value for money as it always used to be.

Maybe i’m missing out but is BMTH headliner level..? 
if so, we’re missing 1 headliner and 2 subs (21P got no sub yet right?) otherwise we’re missing 2 heads 1 sub

[Kebabcz]

I am still betting on "The Cure" , since there is no headliner missing I believe they will perform 😄

[Emin01]

Yes bmth Is headliner level, they were One of 2025 Rock Am Ring Headliners, i saw them live couple years ago really strong live act. My Guess Is that the next and probably last headliner Will be a strong edm act (Swedish house mafia would be great),and i'm still waiting for more rock bands, in a statement (or a comment i'm not sure) Sziget organisers teased a return to old rock habits somehow. Maybe we'll have the rock announcements later in spring like last year

An EDM headliner is pretty likely for Saturday, historically Saturday is very EDM-heavy.

2025 - Anyma
2024 - Martin Garrix
2023 - David Guetta

2022 - Calvin Harris

Regarding rock names, I think we already have a lot more than anytime past covid.

“Honestly, because the planning started late, I was less confident that we would be able to secure really big names for Sziget 2026. However, comparing our list so far with what the international festival scene has to offer, I see that fortunately we will also be among the best when it comes to the musical lineup.” - Károly Gerendai 

[activean]

I agree, with probably some names yet to come, we have already a solid indie and guitar list of names so far - BMTH, Biffy Clyro, Florence, Wolf Alice, Parcels, Tash Sultana, Giant rooks, LEAP, Lambrini girls, Health, Baby lasagna, Annisokay, Anvralize.

Can only see it being Calvin Harris. The only saturday in his tour from late July - September that hasn't been announced, is the Sziget Saturday. 

 

Or I could be getting 2+2 =5

Yes, also Bad nervers, Elefánt, Karen Dio, Kim Dracula. 

 

Definitely more guitars than previous years, also some heavier riffs. But it's true that in most cases smaller names

Would certainly make sense. If it is him I guess they're keeping him back so there's still at least one really big name in the third announcement.

Today, it came out with the names as a press release

[Emin01]

yes except for biffy clyro, parcels, Wolf alice, bmth and Florence the other "Guitar" acts are mostly unknown in Europe (maybe in UK a Little bit more, don't knew). Regarding Headliners, on the other hand, the quality Is High imo: Lewis, Florence, twenty One, bmth great live acts
