Recently several bands and artists have accepted visas to the
\nIsland of Freedom. Arriving straight to the Main Stage with their
\nlatest release are the legendary Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds, as
\nwell as the most popular alternative rock band of the 2000\u2019s,
\nFranz Ferdinand.<\/p>\n
Poet, writer, provocateur, rockstar. Nick Cave is all of these though not necessarily in
\nthis order. Whatever he does is simply important. He makes era-defining records, he
\ncreates and dismisses bands, whatever he touches turns not just into gold, but into a
\ntimeless monolith. He is still harmonic even if he is off-key: with the Bad Seeds he
\napproaches the irregular consciously, just to make sure that all other notes wind up
\nexactly where they are supposed to be. When Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds hit the
\nstage the outside world stops to exist. And so it will at this year\u2019s Sziget where they will
\npresent their latest and long awaited studio album Push The Sky Away, which was
\nreleased after a five year break this February. With this modern, energetic but still
\ntypically Nick Cave-like album, that fascinates both critics and fans, they have booked a
\nguaranteed headliner spot for this year\u2019s festival season.
\nFurious and unstoppable indie rock\u2019n\u2019roll, really gritty and crazy dirty pop anthems that
\nmake any pit explode. This is the trademark of the always stylish Franz Ferdinand
\nfrom Glasgow that made them one of the most popular British bands of the 2000\u2019s and
\ngot them countless musical awards. Ever since their first album this band just can\u2019t miss
\nwith their irresistible, dynamic and unique rock that keeps critics and fans satisfied each
\ntime. They will be mixing up their usual setlist with songs from their brand new, soon to be released fourth album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action at this year\u2019s Sziget Festival!<\/p>\n
New to Sziget is !!! (pronounced: Chk, chk, chk). Every pop dictionary starts with the
\nname of this Californian band. The Sacramento based group formed in the late 90\u2019s is
\nfamous for its intelligent dance punk that will make you want to move your feet. Their
\nmusic evokes the golden age of new wave, it\u2019s noisy and unpolished with a little bit of
\nfunk to it. They will present their fifth album THR!!!ER on Sziget\u2019s Main Stage.
\nLanding straight at A38\u2019s party program is the ultramodern, roaring and unique
\nelectronic project of Nik Roos, Martijn Sonderen and Thijs de Vlieger, Noisia. Their
\nmusic can be heard in countless PC games, Hollywood blockbusters and of course at the
\nbiggest festivals around the globe. They collaborate regularly with the biggest names in
\nelectronic music such as Skrillex, Pendulum and Prodigy. They are three-time winners of
\nthe Beatport Music Awards for Best Drum\u2019n\u2019Bass Act, however their music cannot be
\nlabelled as DnB only as it is open to breakbeat, house, dubstep and neurofunk just to
\nname a few genres.<\/p>\n
Jason Diakit\u00e9, a.k.a. Timbuktu is one of the biggest Swedish hip-hop artists and
\nreggae singers. He writes vivid, catchy but eclectic hip-hop anthems with a unique style.
\nDuring his 15 year career he released 8 albums and won 7 awards at the Swedish
\nGrammys. For ten years now he has been touring the world with a nine-piece funk band
\ncalled Damn!, who will be backing him up on his show at Sziget Festival as well.
\nStay tuned in the upcoming weeks as there are more names and productions to come
\nfor the 2013 Sziget!<\/p>\n
