Sziget 2027 names Fontaines D.C., Katseye and Idles—with passes at €372

Organizers released the opening wave on November 10, 2026, ahead of Sziget’s August 10–14, 2027 run on Óbuda Island in Budapest. That gives prospective visitors dates and a substantial first set of bookings to weigh up—not a finished account of everything their pass will buy them. The dates are explicitly given in the festival’s 2027 FAQ, with the location also reported by Telex.⁠1⁠31⁠11

The standard pass combines a €349 ticket with a €23 handling charge. The advertised 21&Under pass costs €279 plus an €18 fee, bringing that category to €297. The difference between the two ticket-and-fee totals is €75. Those are pass prices, not a budget for the whole trip: travel, somewhere to stay and spending at the festival still have to be considered separately.⁠30

These were the prices advertised on November 10, 2026. Preregistration has closed and Early Bird tickets are available, but no dated cutoff for the offer was established. Buyers should neither mistake “Early Bird” for a published deadline nor assume that November’s price will remain available until August. The useful distinction is between a price available to plan around now and a promise about what tickets will cost later.⁠30⁠32

Fontaines D.C. appeared first in the announcement’s ordering, followed by Katseye, according to Hungarian outlet 444. The Irish band released a new album in October 2026. Their prominent placement makes them an obvious focus of the reveal, but announcement order is not confirmation of headline status, a main-stage slot or a running order. Those are separate programming decisions.⁠1

Beyond those first names, the reported bookings include Bicep, Nothing But Thieves, Royel Otis, Kelis, Tove Lo and Sofi Tukker. Brina Knauss, Florence Road, Genesis Owusu, Kevin de Vries, Quest and Rikas widen the opening selection, alongside Cruz Beckham & The Breakers and Villanelle. Chris Stassy also appears in the published coverage; that spelling is reproduced here as reported, rather than independently settled as the artist’s preferred billing.⁠1⁠17

Lola Young is also part of the first wave, explicitly included in November 10 coverage from Festivalinfo and Pop Scoop. There is a small but important distinction in the reporting: 444 advertises 20 performers but individually enumerates 19, mentioning Young separately in its aftermovie background. Including her brings that enumeration to the advertised total. The accessible official lineup text did not supply a complete roster against which to check it, but this is a limitation of the published list—not evidence of a withdrawn act, replacement or extra booking.⁠1⁠24⁠27⁠26

Several bookings come with an existing Hungarian connection. Idles made their first Hungarian appearance at Budapest Park earlier in 2026 and will return for Sziget. Gogol Bordello previously played the festival’s main stage in 2018. Nothing But Thieves marked the announcement by recalling a festival appearance ten years earlier, as 444 reported. The opening wave is therefore partly a set of renewed relationships with the festival and its audience, rather than a parade of debuts.⁠1

Two bands arrive with readily recognizable family connections, although those tell fans nothing about their eventual billing. Cruz Beckham & The Breakers is the band of David and Victoria Beckham’s son. Villanelle is Gene Gallagher’s band; his father is Liam Gallagher. Both belong to this opening announcement on the same basis as the other bookings: confirmed names, with the larger programme still taking shape.⁠1

Nor were all the names a complete surprise. Fontaines D.C., Katseye, Kelis, Gogol Bordello and Lola Young had already appeared in the festival’s 2026 aftermovie. That was an early glimpse of the next edition, not a separate new wave to add to November’s announcement.⁠1

The practical value of this release is clear: anyone already persuaded by these acts can put a five-day festival and a stated pass price into their summer plans. What it does not establish is the complete final programme, a performance-time timetable or stage allocations. A first-wave poster is useful evidence for choosing a festival; it is not yet a schedule for navigating one.⁠26⁠30⁠31

No confirmed date for the next lineup announcement was established in the available festival information. The next supported fixed milestone is opening day, August 10, 2027. Until further programming is published, the sensible calculation is whether the names already announced justify the current pass price—not whether an imagined final lineup would.⁠30⁠31
