„Hey Sanya, come and join us, feel the rhythm!!! Ya now what we're getting this year? The land of plenty is just around the corner, Sanya!" - and of course there is Sziget, too, with Kispál's farewell concert on the minus first day, a series of megaconcerts on day zero, including the celebration of Reaggae and Ska, a Cseh Tamás memorial gig and a third venue is going to offer a special fusion of Hungarian and international jazz-phenomena. And of course, for five further days our favourite festival is going to offer plenty of programs between 9th and 16th August.
The organizers f Sziget have announced previously that Kispál will say goodbye to their audience within the compass of a three-hour long megaconcert on the minus first day of Sziget, on 9th August.
The two-thirds of the program of day zero has also been public: the Main Stage will see the iconic figures of local and international reggae and ska within the compass of the Reggae and Ska Celebration, among many others you can see Skatalities, Wailers and UB40, whereas on the World Music Stage, the frontline of local and international world- and rock music will pay a tribute to the memory of Cseh Tamás with a nearly five-hour long concert.
Main stages - relevant stars, great comebacks and outstanding promises
The program of the Main Stage is 90 percent ready - Károly Gerendai has announced at the press conference, and added some new names to the previously announced list of Muse, Iron Maiden, Faithless, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Kasabian, Madness and Johnny Rotten's band (after Sex Pistols) Public Image Limited are coming to Sziget, too.
The program of Sziget's greatest venues - the Main Stage and the already 100% World Music Stage where featured artists contain names like Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club® featuring Omara Portuondo, Oi-Va-Voi, Tony Allen or the band Shantel & Bucovina Club Orkestar - is built according to this above-mentioned philosophy. Among the new stars there is Amparo Sanchez, 080001 or one the greatest voices of the "Big Belgain Boom" of the past few years, Jaune Toujours - and many others, of course. And in 2010, World Music Stage is offering a great view at the Eastern-European scene, and of course plenty of Hungarian world music artists will play throughout the five festivaldays of Sziget.
Metal-fans also get their share of fun in the Rock-Metal tent at this year's Sziget, so you'd better get prepared physically and mentally if you feel strong enough to participate at Ill Niño's gig. The 69 Eyes are coming to Sziget to present an incredible goth'n'rock show. Paradise Lost's new album, according to critics, can only be compared to the classic album One Second, so it's no surprise that they appear to be one of the absolute favourites this year, and not only when it comes to metal-fans. One of the most energetic metal bands of all times Children of Bodom are doing a show as well. According to the latest news, Monster Magnet is just about to finish their latest, 2010 album, and then they are off for a tour: Sziget will be an important station of this tour for them and for us, as well. This will be the place where Enter Shikari, Skindred or Fear Factory will play, too.
The megatent of Party Arena's been starting their programs in the early hours of the evening since last year, now you can see the live acts of various international stars. This year you will get the chance to see DJ Shadow, Simian Mobile Disco, Gotan Project, Calvin Harris and Breakestra feat. Cali2na, whereas at night the following artists will make the audience go crazy: Boys Noize, Erol Alkan, Sander van Doorn, Andy Moor, Drumcode Night: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick and Joel Mull, Infected Mushroom or Deadmau5.
The tent of A38-Wan2 gets a new tent this year, and here you can also see up-to-date stuff, great old names and rising stars. Among many others, this will be the tent giving home to a number of great gigs: Gorillaz Sound System, Nina Hagen, Charlie Winston, Ez3kiel, Bad Religion, Vive la Féte, Major Lazer or Yeasayer.
Drumcode Night: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick and Joel Mull, Infected Mushroom or Deadmau5.
