Placebo
Uniquely, the love between Placebo and its Hungarian audience is not a one-sided thing, but an intimate relationship built on mutual sympathy and devotion; it was obvious that the London formation with ten million record sales love us just as gently as we love them at each the multiple Placebo concerts held in Hungary. This year, our bond strengthens; Molko and his crew, probably determined to become all-time Sziget performers, do not miss their favorite festival in 2014 either, and will twist our hearts with the tracks of their new album, "Loud Like Love". And with Every You and Every Me. And with Pure Morning. And with Special Needs.
Where? When? Main Stage, 19:30Tom Odell
His voice, talent and piano skills are special, his songs are passionate, romantic and irresistible – just like their creator. Kitsch and excessive splendor are not his things, he does not play with artificial moods, he just writes captivating and tasteful songs, and his presentation skills are more than convincing. Don't miss Tom Odell, the 33-year-old singer, songwriter, and pianist from Southern England.
Where? When? A38 Stage, 19:50Skrillex
Fans of the youngest party generation worship him as a messiah, while critics regard him as a mad disc jockey of the anti-music apocalypse. Sonny Moore, today’s most well-known electronic musician, is a Californian guy who became world-famous by simply wanting to feel good. His music with elementary volume and different sound patterns every other second is the looped-together neo-Dadaism itself; his style can be mainly linked to dubstep, specifically to its dark, bass-driven and aggressive trends, but it is almost impossible to associate his style with one genre only.
Where? When? Main Stage, 21:30Rupa & The April Fishes
Rupa Marya was born from Indian parents in San Francisco; she started her career as a street musician, as part of a duo with the cellist EdBaskerville. She founded her band with the objective that it should be boundless in geographical, linguistic, and stylistic senses, as well. On the band's first two albums, the "ExtraordinaryRendition" (2008) and "Este Mundo" (2009), they used French, Mexican, Indian and Balkan elements, but the newer album, "Build" (2012), shows strong Jamaican influence. This year’s concert album, "Live At The Independent", provides a mixture of all these, and probably reflects this upcoming performance at Sziget.
Where? When? World Village Stage, 21:30Miles Kane
Miles Kane was born in Birkenhead 28 years ago, and in 2007 he decided to try and get results from a fun pastime activity. Even though "Rascalize" (2008), the debut album of his “former” band, the Rascals, only climbed up to the hundredth place on British hit lists, it not only made the band better-known and popular, but also proved to be an excellent pre-study in Kane’s later career. The Rascals have not disbanded officially yet, but Kane focuses on his solo career for a few years now: he published two independent works so far, the most recent being last year’s Don’t Forget Who You Are.
Where? When? A38 Stage, 21:40Vad Fruttik
Vad Fruttik walks in the footsteps of Kispál és a Borz, the scene-creating band of András Lovasi; one of the favorite formations of fans of intelligent and high quality Hungarian music. Marcell Likó and his crew gained nationwide recognition a few years ago with their songs Nekem senkim sincsen and Sárga Zsiguli.
