" Five new international stars have been added to the impressive list of artists performing at the 19th VOLT Festival. Besides the names already announced, My Chemical Romance, Sum 41, The Ting Tings, and Monster Magnet are coming to Sopron, and to popular demand, Dub FX is returning, too. After 18 years, VOLT has switched to a new logo, and Magyar Telekom has joined the most popular non-Budapest-based festival as a main sponsor.
According to the latest news, plenty of international big shots will show up between 28th June and 2nd July in Sopron. In addition to the names already announced - such as Thirty Seconds to Mars, Moby, Pendulum, Primus, Paul Kalkbrenner and House of Pain - several other international stars will join the event, among them some up-to-date acts the Hungarian audience has been waiting for a long time.
One of the most popular American rock-bands of the millenium, My Chemical Romance is about to mesmerize the audience in Sopron with an incredible, breath-taking rock-show - probably nobody will be disappointed. This band is a real hot topic for the local audience, never before have they played in Hungary.
Fans of one of the most youthful and up-to-date rock-bands old dream will also come true: SUM 41 is coming to VOLT, too! Besides the youthful act, another hot topic and huge festival-stunner: The Ting Tings will join the festival, too. The guitar-pop duo with radio-friendly megahits and well-known commercial-music will play live this time. A good news for rockers is that they get to meet the crew of Monster Magnet in Sopron for the first time, and the Australian street musician with last year's most successful gig Dub FX will return to Sopron, too!

It's my understanding that the Southside and Hurricane festivals are sister festivals that take place parallel to each other with the same lineups.
