Which band? Where do they perform? What kind of music do they play? When do they start? These questions keep on popping up during Sziget Festival, so we decided to provide a guide that navigates revelers through the numerous concerts scheduled during the upcoming days – those who follow our festival compass won't miss any of the important performances. From bass music to house to pop to dubby disco to post-punk – we've got everything covered here.

1/6

August 11th – Thursday

Rihanna. Yes, this is the day, when the Barbadian superstar will perform as part of her current Anti World Tour (Main Stage, 9.30pm). Day tickets are already sold out, so if you are among the lucky ones that secured passes for the day in advance, then be there in time to cheer with thousands of other fans at this highly anticipated concert.

Altough RiRi has several cool hits, Sziget has other major concerts in store on this day. Written in co-production by Diplo of Major Lazer, DJ Snake, and MØ, Lean On was – without a doubt – one of the most popular songs of 2015, and luckily the Danish singer from the trio returns to Sziget Festival on August 11th (A38 Stage, 6.30pm) to put on a performance that is girly and wild, charming and dangerous at the same time. Sounds quite unmissable for us.

2/6

August 12th – Friday

It's never too early to start preparing for Friday night's Manu Chao La Ventura (Main Stage, 9.30pm), so get up early and check out Hungarian band Bohemian Betyars performing on the main stage at 4pm – their speed-folk-punk sound and pálinka-drinking abilities are outstanding and normally their concerts end up being similar to a huge house party. It will surely go well with Psycho Mutants' blood-eyed and twisted Western psychobilly and maniac performance (World Music Stage, 5.15pm).

Kovacs (A38 Stage, 6.30pm) is already labelled as the Dutch Amy Winehouse and since she has the same emotional power in her voice, we wouldn't be surprised if she became the new soul idol. Bastille (Main Stage, 7.30pm) is not unknown to Hungarian revelers and their grandiose pop songs work best in festival settings, so this will be an easy win for them.

Both Editors (A38 Stage, 10PM) and UNKLE (A38 Stage, 11.45PM) are into darker soundscapes, moody electronica, cinematic atmospheres and post-punk: so if you are feeling exhausted and intimidated by the crowd, this is your opportunity to sink in to the quicksand of your mind and lay back a bit. But who knows – since UNKLE will stage a live performance, maybe they'll take some turns towards breakbeat or bass music. And speaking of bass music: the duo of Wiwek and JumoDaddy (A38 Stage, 1.30am) will surely spin that until dawn.

3/6

August 13th – Saturday

Bring Me The Horizon (Main Stage, 5.45pm) started out as a bone-crushing metalcore group, and in the course of five albums they have grown more and more ambitious and widened their sound even more so. Between their 2006 debut album Count Your Blessings and last year’s game-changing That’s the Spirit, the Sheffield boys have matured, taken on electronic flourishes and moved towards a melodic, angsty and complex rock approach. It will be interesting to see, how it works out on stage. But if they didn't win you over, don't worry: !!! (pronounce it as chk-chk-chk) is the ultimate festival favorite and their punkfunk-disco soundclash will surely get you moving on the dance floor (A38 Stage, 6pm).

It was time for Icelandic post-rock pioneer Sigur Rós (Main Stage, 7.15pm) to finally give a concert in Hungary and their celestial soundscapes will surely melt everybody's heart. And if you are already at the main stage, reserve your place: just like their big inspiration, Queen, Muse (Main Stage, 9.30pm) is about grandiose-yet-easily acceptable progressive poprock and bombastic concerts. Surely an experience that you'll tell your children about.

To close the day in a memorable way, we recommend you the solo show of Moloko's singer, Róisín Murphy (A38 Stage, 11.45pm). She is an underground pop idol, who is sexy, charming and funny, just the way she was with her band.

4/6

August 14th – Sunday

The Canadian Sum 41’s career has been filled with highlights that extend well beyond a traditional ‘punk‘ band – for example, did any bands from the genre collaborated with Ludacris or Tommy Lee? Was there any other punk band that was invited to tour with Mötley Crüe? So there are plenty of reasons to see the genre's inventors rocking out in Budapest (Main Stage, 5.45pm). But before their performance, make sure to catch Belgian crooners Oscar & The Wolf (A38 Stage, 4.45pm) – they have enough talent to reach heights, where acts like How To Dress Well reside.

Allow yourself a little bit of rest before John Coffey's performance (Europe Stage, 8.30pm) – they are known for being more than explosive on stage and listening to their hard-hitting punk records, we can easily imagine it. Luckily, Brains will play after them (A38 Stage, 10pm), and their electro and hiphop-flavored funkrock won't let you rest for a minute. Meanwhile, at the main stage, the iconic DJ, the ultimate hitmaker, David Guetta (9.15pm) will navigate you through all the songs that he wrote.

After 16 years as a band, countless world tours, numerous awards, and four studio albums, Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack are taking it back to where it all started: Bloc Party (A38 Stage, 11.45pm) is back to its roots (aka dance-post-punk) and to Hungary.

5/6

August 15th – Monday

Although the glorious days of Britpop are long over, Kaiser Chiefs (Main Stage, 5.45pm) – inspired by the new wave and punk of the seventies and eighties – has enough hits and routine to fire things up. After them, head to the A38 Stage, where one of the most promising up-and-coming bands, The Neighbourhood (6.30pm) will make things warm and sweaty with their crooner-rnb-electronica hybrid.

Ex-Oasis member Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds (Main Stage, 7.30pm) will have a chance to prove that they can still be relevant in 2016, and they will surely heat up the scenes for a show that follows: the Hungarian debut of CHVRCHES (A38 Stage, 8.15pm). Later on, M83 will present „a godless hurricane of kinetic pop energy” and the celestial, epic and astral dream-synth pop (A38 Stage, 11.45PM).

But let's not forget about one of the most successful songwriters in the world and an eccentric pop icon of the 21st century SIA (Main Stage, 9.30pm). When she hits the stage, her voice will blow you away – and believe us, you'll enjoy every moment of it.

6/6

August 16th – Tuesday

Sziget seems to go out with a blast (beat): Australian groove metal squad Parkway Drive (Main Stage, 4pm) is known for their endless love for the Hungarian audience and their fierce live performances; a winning combination! If you don't want to lay back and recover, skip The Lumineers' blue-eyed folk-pop (Main Stage, 5.45pm) and head for FIDLAR's skatepunkers (A38 Stage, 6.30pm) – especially if you are a fan of bands like Cerebral Ballzy or Trash Talk.

A vehicle for Arctic Monkeys’ frontman Alex Turner and Miles Kane, who embarked on a solo career after the breakup of The Rascals, The Last Shadow Puppets (Main Stage, 7.30pm) will perform at Sziget with a fresh album, full of classic big pop hits. After that, you have to choose from Bullet For My Valentine (A38 Stage, 10pm) or Hardwell (Main Stage, 9.30pm), who will put an „end” to the festival with a nucleous set, and of course, with confettis, lasers and his hits. If it won't blow your mind, nothing will.

After all this, Crystal Castles (A38 Stage, 11.45pm) will paint beautiful images of a cold world with an arsenal of synthesizers and their trance-inspired electronica. Still have what it takes to dominate the dance floor? At Telekom Arena, Dutch house magicians Fedde Le Grand (1.00am) and Laidback Luke (2.30am) will spin some dance floor detonators, and we have a feeling that John Digweed (Colosseum, 1.00am) will do the same.
