Strong start for Sziget 2016: John Newman, MO, Kodaline, Sigúr Ros and more!

Sziget Festival invites music and art lovers, open-minded people from all over the world for the 24th time to Budapest next year. The first eight names are now added to the line-up with many more to come. Sziget is held between 10-17 August, 2016 and early bird tickets are available till 31st December.

The success of last year’s Best European Major Festival seems to continue, as more than 25% of the 2016 Sziget passes have been sold during the first 24 hours of the ticket sales campaign. In 2015 a total of 441.000 Szitizens attended the event, representing more than 95 countries and this probably makes Sziget one of the most multicultural festivals in the world. The series of announcements for the festival has also started. Hundreds of acts and programs will be announced in the forthcoming months, now starting with eight names, representing different genres and keeping the music line-up as colorful as always.

Jago

grew up in Camden, so it’s safe to say that there is not much this boy has not seen. He is hard to shock yet easy to please, armed with an eclectic taste in music and film. Jago is always ready to tackle anything from Punk Rock, D & B, House to Opera. This makes him a great person to send out into the thick of things. He has a passion for cinematography and fine dining and constantly tries to mix the two. If he is not dancing, eating or watching a movie then he is probably working his way through a bottle of champagne with the local talent. HE NEVER SLEEPS!
