- Written by Nikki McNeill
Sziget is proud to announce Kings of Leon at this year's Island of Freedom. Their headline gig on Saturday 15th August is one of the very few chances to see them live in Europe during the summer and it will be the band’s first appearance in Hungary. Sziget Festival is held in Budapest between 10-17 August.
Kings of Leon arrives to Sziget this summer! A huge piece of news for the award winning festival, especially that this is an almost exclusive gig in Europe for the summer season. So, combine your favorite gig with a festival holiday and be at the Sziget Main Stage this August!
The week of Sziget Festival is a real festival holiday, where visitors can not only enjoy 7 days of non-stop fun, but countless programs and venues. The Island of Freedom is the happy owner of ‘Best European Major Festival’ award and aims to keep this title with its original program and unique atmosphere. For this reason, organizers are very happy to announce Kings of Leon in the line-up.
The four Followills -- singer/ guitarist Caleb, guitarist Matthew, drummer Nathan, bassist Jared -- had been on a fairly relentless run for the preceding twelve years, releasing six albums, gathering Grammys, BRIT awards and touring the world dozens of times since emerging from Nashville in early 2003.
