21p pop? 

But they are still not in the clear rock category anyways, I wouldn't consider them as a rock act they are hip-hop,electropop,indie pop and alt rock but thats not an actual rock, you can go check that so yeah

Im an old boy and don't really see sub genres as a thing, apart from the music media making up. So for me its Metal, Rock, indie, dance and folk. 

 

Although lets be real. Sziget are not having 21p, BMTH and Deftones headlining in 2026. 

 

It will be an EDM act, even more so that there isnt a shortage mid August.

Anyone else chomping at the bit for some more 'concrete' announcements? Feels like it's a constant stream of PR social media posts, none of which are really saying anything.

The Wombats announced for Grape festival in Slovakia for the 15h of August (Saturday).

I know they're boring for anyone in the UK but they have only played in Hungary in 2008 (Sziget) and 2015, missed both of those occasions so I'd love to catch them this time.

I caught them a couple of years ago at a UK festival and, got to say, they were far, far better than I expected. Far more entertaining than The Kooks were at Sziget last year.

 

Would make a great, fun, late afternoon booking.

Sziget has a really nice undercard this year.

 

I think the one or two of the headliners could be stronger and they aren’t necessary my cup of tea (bar Florence & the machine which is always a great booking for the festival, and also Sombr who I would be excited to see live).

 

However , the undercard has some real gems.

 

Cassia, Loyle Carner, Parcels, Paris Paloma, Sub Focus , Tomora, Wolf Alice & Zimmer 90.

 

The festival has made some really strong bookings for the undercard this year and the line-up as a whole (for me) is far superior to last year’s.

A couple of acts we've really got into this year are Swimming Paul and oskar med k.

 

Does anyone know if they're likely to be playing in Revolut, or more likely to play somewhere in Delta District?

Swimming Paul will be revolut i would be surprised if not. but he’s the kind of alternative electronic music which i usually find at a38 (revolut).

2 of my favourite acts so far. with Nation of Language. Sziget seems to have the ones to have in 2026! 👏

I agree, have discovered some great acts this year. 

 

From a ticket-sale point of view, I suspect they still need to announce a couple (at least) of well know mid-size names, along with a strong Saturday headliner to get the attention of more punters.

 

There aren't that many acts i would have known at Sziget if I was just casually looking and comparing European festival line-ups this year. Maybe 15 or so.

i would be happy but looking at their schedule only 14th could work. but it is very close to us.

Way Out West teasing The Hives on Facebook, according to that forum. Got to say, their line-up this year is amazing, they've absolutely knocked it out of the park.

 

Loving the Sziget line-up so far, but there's a good dozen of acts at WoW that I'd like to see.

Way out west always have a cracking lineup, pity it clashes with Sziget.

The Cure at Paleo Switzerland. A festival of the size of Sziget should have them, not? 

I'm surprised they don't. They seem to be having a career resurgence with younger people too.

 

Think the boat has been missed now though.

Most of The Cure's calendar filled up well before Xmas when it wasn't even sure if Sziget was happening. 

 

Not entirely sure they could have fit Sziget in with other festivals even if they were asked.

 So Budapest Park Stage is a new stage and some of the already announced names are playing there (Beton, Analog Balaton..)  

Finally some news regarding organization. 

I'm really curious about the size of this stage as some of the announced names are really big in Hungary

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
