Fontaines D.C., IDLES and Nothing But Thieves Head to Budapest
Fontaines D.C. will bring material from their latest album, Dopamine Chamber, to Sziget Festival next August. The appearance comes during a major period in the band’s career, with increasingly large shows and a wider international audience.
IDLES will also play in Budapest, while Nothing But Thieves will make another appearance at Sziget after performing there in 2023. Two younger British rock names also join the bill. Villanelle, fronted by Gene Gallagher, recently released debut EP Measly Means following a series of sold-out shows.
Cruz Beckham & The Breakers join after sold-out dates in London and an appearance at Reading & Leeds. Together, those names give the rock side of the festival a balance between established bands and newer artists.
Lola Young, KATSEYE, Tove Lo and Kelis Join the Pop Lineup
Pop also takes a major share of the opening wave, led by Lola Young and KATSEYE. Young heads to Sziget after Messy passed one billion streams and brought her music to a much larger international audience.
KATSEYE join the festival after receiving GRAMMY nominations and selling out their world tour within 48 hours. Tove Lo and Kelis add two established names from different generations of pop and R&B, giving the festival a wider range of pop bookings from the beginning.
That group places current breakout artists alongside musicians with much longer careers. More names are still to come, but pop already takes an important role in the 2027 lineup.
Bicep and SOFI TUKKER Join the Electronic Lineup
Electronic music is also well represented, with Bicep and SOFI TUKKER confirmed for 2027. Bicep will bring their live show to Budapest, while SOFI TUKKER add another major electronic booking to the festival.
The lineup also includes Chris Stassy, Brina Knauss, Kevin de Vries and Quest. Their inclusion brings house, melodic techno and underground electronic music into the opening wave, with further electronic names expected later.
More International Artists Join Sziget Festival 2027
Elsewhere, Royel Otis head to Budapest following their recent international breakthrough, alongside rapper Genesis Owusu. Irish indie-rock band Florence Road and German indie-pop group Rikas also appear in the first group of names.
Gogol Bordello will make another appearance at the festival, bringing their mix of punk and Eastern European influences back to Sziget. With artists from several countries and different genres, the opening wave reflects the range that has long been part of the festival.
Tickets for Sziget Festival 2027
Full festival passes currently cost €349, while the 21&Under Full Festival Pass costs €279. Those prices remain available until November 20, after which ticket prices will increase.
With its first artists now confirmed, Sziget Festival 2027 already has major names across rock, pop and electronic music alongside several newer artists. More announcements will follow before August, but this first wave gives a strong indication of the range Sziget is bringing back to Budapest next summer.
