Same day, same stage and another huge act at VOLT festival in the form of rock icons Queens of the Stone Age, giving a first ever show in Hungary!

Queens of the Stone Age has already recorded 5 great albums, currently working on the next one with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

Few weeks ago the new album of Example hit the stores, already being on the top of the album charts.

The well-known star will perform with his band 6th July at VOLT.

Being sexy and smooth with an exceptional voice singer-songwriter Jamie Woon blends sensible electronic tunes with hot soul music. His career is on the right path since his album Mirrorwriting was released in April last year. Since, he was awarded to be the year’s most promising new British artist. As he has more and more top hits, spread by radios, he became one of the top targets of the festivals wishmachine so now the fans can meet him in July at VOLT.

“Earlier it has never happened that we could announce a list of world-known artists before Christmas for the upcoming VOLT Festival. Knowing the first five big names of VOLT we foresee a very promising 2013 but negotiations are still taking place with other international artists. Besides the line-up most of the people would like to know the location of this year’s VOLT. We would not like to answer this yet but we assure everyone that we keep up with our old slogan: It is good everywhere but it is the best in Sopron! So the festival will be hosted at the town of loyalty, of course” – told by the main organizers of VOLT, Zoltán Fülöp and Norbert Lobenwein.

Besides the confirmed star acts it’s good to know that the first 1000 buyers can buy 4-days festival passes available on a discounted price of 70 EUR due to our special-priced Christmas sale until 31st December.
