Tom Jenkinson

The English electronic music artist Squarepusher, aka Tom Jenkinson, who has released 12 albums in 10 years, is sure to impress festival-goers, and the Swedish new-wave glam punk band Backyard Babies will bring their own interpretation of punk music to Sziget.

 
The English dance music duo Coldcut will bring their mix of hip hop and jazz-style samples to the festival, and the French electro scene will be represented by Birdy Nam Nam, a DJ crew who won the DMC World DJ Championship in 2002.
