The band will play their final concert on August 9, the festival's "zero-day".
Sziget Festival organiser Károly Gerendai said at a press conference on April 1 that Kispál és a Borz was among the most important bands in Hungarian pop history. He placed them among LGT, Illés and Tankcsapda as bands that shaped the country's pop culture.
András Kispál, the band's namesake and guitarist, said Kispál és a Borz decided to play their last concert at the Sziget because there wasn't an appropriate venue in Pécs, where the band is from.
Kispál és a Borz frontman András Lovasi said the band had made the start of just three new songs recently.
"We decided a while ago that if we couldn't produce a new LP by March, then we would end it. And we didn't. Three songs is not an album," he said.
Lovasi said the band members would go their own way in the coming years.
"Let's just say that Kispál és a Borz has ended five or six years of agony," he said. "Whatever happens afterward will only be for the best."
