Meet Europe at Sziget

Sziget Festival does not only host a truly international and open-minded audience for 7 days, but also dedicates a stage for some of the most exciting up-and-coming European bands. The concept of the British Knights Europe Stage is to entertain Szitizens already in the early afternoon all the way till night and to do so in the name of multiculturalism. Many of the bands were chosen in cooperation with partners like CEETEP, Gigmit and Puglia Sounds.

Youropen – the European talent festival

The British Knights Europe Stage will host European talents on days -1 and 0. Youropen is a 2 days selection of aspiring bands, arriving from 16 different countries and eager to show their skills in front of the world’s possibly most international and open-minded crowd. This is the place to kick-start the 7 days of non-stop fun, as the Monday and Tuesday program starts already at 1PM and goes all the way till 9PM.

Italian showcases at the Europe Stage

Sziget has a long tradition in showcasing Italian acts and the British Knights Europe Stage is the perfect place for this. Thanks to the collaboration with Puglia Sounds/Medimex, L’Alternativa and Puglia Promozione, Sziget 2015 will host 13 of the most interesting artists from the Italian music scene and a large delegation of artists from Puglia, one of the most musical areas of Italy. The Medimex Lightstage (right next to Europe Stage) will be the stronghold of Italian music and culture throughout the week.

Italian bands playing on the Europe Stage will include the talent contest winner Joe Victor, Après La Classe, Lo Stato Sociale and Fast Animals And Slow Kids. The Medimex Lightstage will present talents like Jungle Brothers, Una, Moustache Prawn or Mery Fiore.
