Hungary’s most diverse festival, Sziget, is gearing up for an electrifying 2025 edition with a lineup that’s sure to captivate music lovers from around the globe. Set to take place from August 6-11, the festival has just announced a wave of new performers, including some of the biggest names in the music industry.

Headlining Acts

Leading the charge are three international superstars:

• A$AP Rocky: The hip-hop maverick and fashion icon will bring his innovative sound and electrifying stage presence to Sziget. With over 17.5 billion streams and 3.9 billion YouTube views, Rocky’s performance is highly anticipated.
• Post Malone: The crowned king of rap, trap, R&B, and country will grace the Sziget stage. Known for hits like “Rockstar” and “Circles,” Malone’s genre-blending style promises a memorable show.
• Shawn Mendes: Returning to Sziget after a memorable performance seven years ago, the Grammy-nominated Canadian singer-songwriter will showcase his latest album, “Shawn,” offering fans an intimate musical experience.

Genre Diversity

Sziget 2025 is set to offer a rich tapestry of musical genres:

• Electronic music fans can look forward to performances by Caribou, Anyma, and Armin Van Buuren.
• Rock enthusiasts will be thrilled by Papa Roach and the potentially final tour performance of Swedish post-hardcore band Refused.
• Pop music will be well-represented with Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and Nelly Furtado joining the lineup.

K-Pop Debut

In a first for Sziget, K-pop will make its debut with the girl group KISS OF LIFE. Formed in 2023, the band has a special connection to Budapest, having filmed their first mini-album’s music video in the city.

Hungarian Talent

Local artists will also shine at Sziget 2025. Co Lee, a pioneer of the new wave Hungarian hip-hop scene, and Elefánt, a defining band in the alternative music landscape, are confirmed to perform.

With 190 days to go until the festival kicks off, Sziget 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable event in the European festival calendar. Limited early bird tickets, including special U21 and Student passes, are still available for those looking to secure their spot at this musical extravaganza.
