We also take a special interest in Sziget – it being one of Europe's premier summer festivals – and today organisers of the Budapest shindig on "The Island Of Freedom" announce 22 new acts to join the confirmed likes of Florence + The Machine and alt-J.
Foals, Interpol and Marina And The Diamonds lead the charge – the latter artist opens up to our own Colm O'Regan in the new issue of Hot Press (Electric Picnic cover).
Other new acts playing the week of fun (August 10 – 17) will be Future Islands, The Maccabees, Foxes, MØ, Beatsteaks, Yellow Claw, Selah Sue, Vitalic, Dotan, Typhoon, William Fitzsimmons, Halestorm, Knife Party, Alesso, Paloma Faith, Gentleman, SBTRKT, NERVO and Dropkick Murphys.
