The Irish hip-hop trio will join some of the biggest names in music at next year’s festival.

Kneecap are set to join some of the biggest names in music when they perform at next year’s Sziget Festival in Hungary.

The Irish hip-hop trio will perform at the festival on Budapest’s Óbuda Island next August.

It’s been a stellar year for the Belfast act whose critically acclaimed biopic film recently took home four British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).

2025 looks to be no different with the group performing at the huge festival alongside an array of huge names, including two of music’s biggest stars, Charlie XCX and Chappell Roan.

The lineup for the festival sees a star-studded roster of 44 incredible acts – also including Anyma, Blossoms, Justice, Nelly Furtado and Papa Roach – with more to be announced soon.

There is something for every music lover at the festival from legendary names to rising talents.

Every year, Óbuda Island is transformed into the famed ‘Island of Freedom’ for six vibrant days.

Festivalgoers get to experience a rich program dedicated to all unique areas of the arts such as music, theatre, cabaret, comedy, art, and so much more.

Sziget returns from August 6-11 2025, with Early Bird tickets still currently available from €225 on the Sziget website.
