Kendrick Lamar, Mumford & Sons and Kygo will headline Sziget 2018.
Liam Gallagher, The Kooks, Everything Everything, Slaves and Wolf Alice have also been confirmed for the event in Budapest between August 8th-15th.
A busy summer of festival appearances and headline outdoor shows lie ahead for Liam Gallagher after the release of his debut solo album As You Were last year – a record where ‘both lyrical astuteness and biting vocals meet with enticing effect‘ according to Live4ever’s review:
“While the cathartic bombast is a definitive aspect of Liam’s enduring appeal with his fanbase, there are softer moments on the album portraying a rarely seen sensitive side which endearingly conflicts with the well-documented public persona.”
“Paper Crown encompasses a stripped back acoustic ballad highlighting the positive impact of cleaner living on Liam’s voice as he sings of insecurity of a past lover being left to ponder a lonely existence, stemming from a drastic fall from grace due to the treatment of others.”
