Day Minus One (August 9th) The legendary Hungarian alternative rock band, Kispál és a Borz (Small Paul and the Badger), is really going to be a legend soon, as Day Minus One of Sziget Festival will mark their farewell concert. At 7 p.m. Don’t drown in your tears! Day Zero (August 10th) Day Zero, although sounds ominous, is going to offer a variety of programs for the early-comers: celebrate reggae together (but don’t forget pot is still not legal in Hungary), commemorate Hungarian composer-singer, Tamás Cseh (who passed away last summer) and you won’t be able to forget that August 10th is the day of Hungarian jazz either, as the line-up of artists will remind you of that too. Both days are free with a camping ticket or half the price of a one day ticket (23 Euro/6000 HUF) for everyone else. Ska-P The top Spanish ska band’s back in Hungary to play Sziget’s main stage. If you check out this band you should expect to hear, believe it or not, ska music, and see a pretty cool show to go with it. They’re said to have performed with ‘experimental’ dance moves, stilt walking and some apparently very becoming George W. Bush masks. If you speak Spanish and you’re concentrating on hearing the lyrics, you’ll find these lads singing their hearts out about anti-establishment and pro human and animal rights issues.  Main Stage, August 11, 6 p.m. Faithless Electro Brits Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo are heading over to play us some of their bliss inducing tunes. Head to the main stage to hear their classics God is a DJ, We Come One and Insomnia, and if you’re lucky, you may get to hear some of their more controversial works too. If you’re really good, they might play you some songs from their album The Dance, which was released in May this year, but is only available in Tesco and on iTunes in the UK. Main Stage, August 12, 9:30 p.m.    Mika If you’re up for a true pop experience, go and check out British pop sensation Mika. He’s been topping charts all over the place for the last few years and is hailed a creator of truly original pop. This may be a result of his eclectic upbringing, which occurred in Lebanon, France and the UK, with a Lebanese mum and an American dad, we wouldn’t know that. The result appears to have been a real gift to the genre of cheesy pop. Main Stage, August 13, 7:45 p.m. Oi Va Voi Here’s a bit of experimental, totally mixed styles music. The result is really something. Oi Va Voi, whose name means something like ‘Oh dear!’ in Hebrew, formed in the UK in the late 90’s, and have been based in London ever since – however, the line up is pretty international, and as a result, so is the music. Expect influences from Jewish, Eastern European (especially Hungarian!) and contemporary electronic music.  World Music Stage, August 13, 9:30 p.m. Peaches Although Peaches comes from Canada, she lives in Berlin these days, which suits her well as she’s pretty wild. Expect sometimes angry, sometimes crazy and often provocative with plenty of references to gender issues and sexual activity of various sorts in her songs. The style varies between electro pop, rock and rap, and the show itself will be a statement as what she does onstage is referred to as performance art. Depending on your tolerance level, prepare to be shocked, or if you’re after a bit of controversy, this is your gig. A38 Wan-2 Stage, August 11, 9:50 p.m.  Deák Bill Gyula For a bit of slightly grungy blues in Hungarian, head to the head banging stage. While this may not necessarily be the guy who’ll have everyone head banging and moshpitting, he’s a nice taste of old school Hungarian rock. So if hardcore is your thing, and you’d like to experience some Hungarian culture your own way, give this guy a go. While the Hungarian-blues combo might sound a bit weird, the voice works exceedingly well. MTV Headbangers Ball Stage, August 14, 7:30 p.m. Gotan Project This French trio with an international line-up (French, Argentine and Swiss), have been creating a pretty unique mixture of sounds for the past couple of decades. Try to imagine a sort of mixture of tango and electronic music and you might be quite close. If, that is, you’ve not heard of the talented three before. See them if you want some inspiring summer music that’ll make you feel warm inside, in a chilled out sort of way. Party Arena, August 13, 7:30 p.m. Infected Mushroom Late at night on Sziget, the best thing for you to be doing is probably to go and experiment with movement to the sounds of a band called Infected Mushroom. These lads have managed to get some international recognition, and consequently settled in LA all the way from Israel for their psychedelic trance and electronic music. Just the thing if it’s going to be a late night.  Party Arena, August 14, 1 a.m. |
