The Budapest event is set to return over five days next summer, and will be held at the Óbuda Island between August 11 and August 15.
Today (December 9), organisers have shared the first names to join the line-up for next year’s edition, and confirmed that Florence + The Machine will be performing as headliners. The slot comes on the heels of singer Florence Welch and co. dropping their critically acclaimed new album ‘Everybody Scream’ at the end of October, and announcing upcoming performances at Mad Cool and Reading & Leeds as well.
Also topping the bill are Twenty One Pilots, who will be bringing the new music they shared over the summer to the live stage. A stop at Sziget adds to their already-stacked festival run for 2026, which includes appearances at Pinkpop, All Points East, and Electric Castle.
After returning from a hiatus earlier this year, Lewis Capaldi will be headlining Sziget in 2026 too. News that he will be going to the Budapest event comes after he recently wrapped his 2025 UK live shows – his first tour dates in two years – and surprise released the single ‘Survive’. That song became his sixth UK Number One track, and the fastest selling single of 2025 so far – surpassing both Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga.

They’re joined on the bill by Tash Sultana, bbno$, new Aurora x Tom Rowlands project TOMORA, Scottish rock icons Biffy Clyro, German indie band Giant Rooks, and US singer-songwriter Dijon.
More new names include electronic stars Dom Dolla, Joris Voorn, Pan-Pot, Sim0ne and Jazzy, and UK punk names Nerves, Lambrini Girls and ALT BLK ERA.
