Ah, news section updated with the following:

"Contrary to previous years, this year the 2700 m2 Party Arena mega-tent is guaranteed to be crowded by 7.30 pm. To further excite fans of electronic music, the Burn Party Arena's bill will be enhanced by a number of cult live acts. José Padilla is lined up to open in the early evening slot on the first day of the festival. In the same slot on other days, we will see: 808 State, the eminent British reps of acid house; French electro Birdy Nam Nam; The Crystal Method from California; and, on the last day, the famous duo of Jonathan Moore and Matt Black - better known to the world as Coldcut. The live acts will be followed by DJ sets, whereby the Sziget will house the most influential names in club culture."

Hmmm, 808 to play at 7:30? Well, at least an early night for the boys

It would be nice to have confirmation from the festival site on which date 808 are on.

Line-up still says José Padilla for Thursday...

Finally, http://www.sziget.hu/festival/programs has been changed. 808 now confirmed to play, as announced, on the Thursday 13 August at 19:30 in the Burn Party Arena. Apparently the 19:30 spot is the headliner spot every evening.
I really fancied going to this, but in the meantime flght prices have shot up...
P.S. I noticed they are using the old 808 myspace address, good luck Graham in ever getting that changed...

Wondering if they will adjust the flyer to include 808?
