IDLES, Royel Otis, Nothing But Thieves and SOFI TUKKER are also among the first names confirmed for the five-day Budapest festival.
Sziget Festival has announced the first wave of artists for its 2027 edition, with Fontaines D.C., Lola Young, KATSEYE and Bicep among the biggest names heading to Budapest next summer. The festival will return to Óbuda Island from 10–14 August 2027, bringing five days of live music, art and performance to the Hungarian capital.
Irish post-punk favourites Fontaines D.C. lead the guitar-heavy contingent, alongside Bristol's IDLES and British rock outfit Nothing But Thieves, who return to Sziget following their previous appearance in 2023. Australian indie duo Royel Otis are also confirmed, as are Irish newcomers Florence Road, German indie-pop group Rikas and New York gypsy punk veterans Gogol Bordello.
On the pop side, South London singer-songwriter Lola Young joins the bill following the international success of her single ‘Messy’, while six-piece girl group KATSEYE will make their way to Budapest after a breakthrough period that has seen them earn Grammy nominations and sell out their first world tour. Swedish singer Tove Lo and American R&B artist Kelis are also among the first acts announced.
Electronic music will once again feature prominently, with Belfast duo Bicep confirmed for a live performance alongside SOFI TUKKER, Brina Knauss, Kevin de Vries, Quest and Chris Stassy. Australian rapper Genesis Owusu also joins the line-up, bringing his genre-hopping approach to a bill that already stretches across rock, pop, hip-hop and dance music.
Elsewhere, two musicians with particularly famous parents are set to make appearances. Villanelle, the grunge trio fronted by Liam Gallagher's son Gene Gallagher, will perform following the release of their debut EP Measly Means, while Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, featuring the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, are also confirmed.
Held annually on an island in the Danube, Sziget has become one of Europe's largest music festivals, with previous editions welcoming artists including Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Billie Eilish, Prince and David Bowie. Alongside its extensive musical programme, the event hosts theatre, circus performances, contemporary dance, workshops and large-scale art installations across the site.
Further artists are expected to be announced in the coming months. Five-day festival passes are currently available from €349, with discounted tickets for those aged 21 and under priced at €279. Both prices are set to increase after 20 November.
Tickets and further information are available via Sziget Festival's official website.
