Sziget Must See Bands

admin — Sun, 25 May 2008 10:38:55 +0000

The Sziget Festival in Budapest as always has a steller line up we have picked our top 5 must see bands

Top 5 Sziget Festival Recommendations.

Iron Maiden – An absolute must see for any ‘metalhead’. Not only are they one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, they’re responsible for some of the best riffs in music history.

Pendulum – This Australian duo have brought drum n bass into the mainstream with their crossover mix of beats and guitars, definitely a band not to be missed.

Flogging Molly – For a taste of something different, don’t miss the Irish/American folk/punk sounds of Flogging Molly. Perfect for a summers festival day with a beer in hand!

Serj Tankian – The System Of A Down frontman is not only an accomplished musician, he is a remarkable and unique performer. Prepare to be blown away.

R.E.M – You don’t really need a reason to go and see R.E.M, but these may help, ‘Everybody Hurts’, ‘Losing My Religion’, ‘Man On the Moon’, ‘Daysleeper’…..

Let us know who you want to see

Top Sziget Highlights

1. Nine Inch Nails – 2007
Almost twenty years after Nine Inch Nails were formed by Trent Reznor, the band took the Sziget crowd by storm as NIN bombed the stage with a shattering set and a truly inspiring performance.

2. Radiohead perform Exit Music – 2006

Radiohead put on a stifling performance of Exit Music which was used for Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. Cast under a wobbly blue glow, Radiohead performed like quivering angels in the night, while the crowd – dumbfounded with awe – wailed along with the ever enigmatic Thom.

3 The Prodigy – Breathe 2006
2006 saw an astounding performance from The Prodigy – the perfect band to lose yourself to at a festival. The crowd went wild for Keith’s screaming antics and completely lost control as he began, with vocals fuelled by fire, to throw ‘Breathe’ in to the swirling audience below him.
