KATSEYE to Draw 350,000 Fans as Headliner at Sziget Festival 2027

From North America to Europe’s mega-festivals, group races to the top of the global pop scene

HYBE and Geffen Records, a label under Universal Music Group, announced that their global girl group KATSEYE is poised to become a marquee act at one of Europe’s top music festivals.

HYBE-Geffen Records officially announced on the 11th that KATSEYE will perform as a headliner at Sziget Festival 2027, taking place Aug. 10-14 next year (local time) on Óbudai Island in the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. KATSEYE will perform before a large audience on Aug. 11, the festival’s second day.

Since its launch in 1993, Sziget Festival has established itself as one of Europe’s leading mega cultural events, drawing about 350,000 people in a single festival season. In this year’s lineup, KATSEYE will share the headliner billing with internationally acclaimed top acts, including leading Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. and rising British singer-songwriter Lola Young, underscoring its global stature.

The confirmation of the Hungary performance is evidence of KATSEYE’s rapid growth beyond North America and across Europe. This year, KATSEYE made its mark with standout live performances at major North American festivals, including the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, one of the world’s largest outdoor festivals, as well as New York’s Governors Ball and Iowa’s Hinterland Music Festival.

The group’s broad popular appeal is also unparalleled. It made a strong impression on high-profile stages, including NBC’s flagship comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL) and the global fashion event Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026. It then sold out every date of its solo world tour, THE WILDWORLD TOUR, which visited major cities across North America and Europe, cementing its place as a powerful force in the global pop market.
