Hungary’s Sziget Festival has announced the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, returning to Budapest’s Óbuda Island from 11th to 15th August. With a reputation for delivering genre-diverse, global lineups in a truly unique setting, Sziget continues to assert itself as one of Europe’s premier summer music and cultural events.

Leading the 2026 lineup are UK icons Florence + the Machine, chart-topping singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi, genre-defying rock outfit Twenty One Pilots, and rising US artist Sombr. The announcement also features dance legends Underworld, viral rapper bbno$, Scottish rock favourites Biffy Clyro, and exciting punk newcomers Lambrini Girls.

A strong Australian contingent also appears in the first drop, with Tash Sultana, Dom Dolla, and Kim Dracula each bringing their signature live energy to the Island of Freedom. The global flavour continues with Ashnikko, Joris Voorn, Charlotte Cardin, Indira Paganotto, and genre-pushing acts like Baby Lasagna, Pan-Pot, Ski Aggu, and Zimmer90 adding to the festival’s boundary-pushing aesthetic.

Beyond its world-class lineup, Sziget is celebrated for immersive experiences spanning art, circus, performance, and activism. With over five days of programming, the 2026 edition promises more than just music — offering festivalgoers a deep dive into creativity and community set against the scenic backdrop of the Danube. With more acts still to be announced, this year’s Sziget is already shaping up to be one of the biggest yet.
