King Kong Company! Had a feeling they might be in! They have been tearing it up all year, best band in the country in my opinion! It is on now, cannot wait...

MitchKoobski

Torann and King Kong Company! Deadly.

Well it seems that the EP line up is a damn sight better than the one for Sziget this year, Mika as a Saturday night headliner lol http://www.sziget.hu/festival_english/programs#.UgOwtm3jmLE

Well at least we're spared him! Aside from that though I'd have to say Sziget has a much better line-up than EP when you scroll through it. It'll still be a great weekend though.

There seems to have been a few Irish acts slipped to the main body of the lineup today also.

The likes of Dirty Epics, Halves, Maud In Cahoots and Silhouette (don't know how well known Silhouette are south of the border but she's quickly becoming a big deal up here) are now at the bottom of the poster.

I'm not really feeling these Donkey Kong Country people on first listen. I'm sure they'll go down well live though.

As are Enemies! I would have thought they were well known enough to include in an announcement like?! Again, the addition of le galaxie, Halves, RSAG and Enemies makes me a happy Irish bunny.

paddylonglegs

Check out the eskies. Great few tunes

Some classic male head bopping and sideways sway moves there, wouldn't mind listening to them of a Sunday afternoon, really interesting band
