Sziget Festival adds to what’s becoming an increasingly busy 2022 for Arctic Monkeys.
Arctic Monkeys, Dua Lipa and Kings Of Leon have been revealed as the headliners for next year’s Sziget Festival.
Also on the first list of names for the event – which is due to take place in Budapest, Hungary between August 10th-15th – are Lewis Capaldi, Jungle, Sigrid, slowthai, Little Simz and Beabadoobee, while Fontaines D.C. have been booked too after making a storming live return this year.
“The final section is a masterclass of structure; Big now sounds nostalgic (‘my childhood was small but I’m gonna be big’ – sorted) but no less beguiling, while Boys In The Better Land (sandwiching the aforementioned Televised Mind) whips the crowd up again with its empathic drums,” our review from the Bristol Academy reads.
“Upon their return for the encore there is perhaps a sense of disappointment in the air that there isn’t Another Fast One, but the wistful Roy’s Song is an apt reminder that there are levels and nuance to their oeuvre, and the riotous Liberty Belle remedies any ills.”
