We are all different, and those who agree it's great that way, should come to the Sziget on Day 0 of the festival, on August 11. On two main stages, going on at the same time, the most important figures in Hungarian pop and rock and international guests, as well as Hungarian jazz musicians, and world famous musicians from Miles Davies' circle will play a 10-hour mega-gig protesting against racism.
More than 50 bands and performers will pledge their belief in acceptance and diversity on August 11, on Day 0 of Sziget Festival. The Sziget show on Hajógyári-sziget is based on the British Rock Against Racism concert series and was initiated by the British Embassy.
Concerts on the main stage start at 1 pm, with the line-up comprising of the golden oldies and talented newcomers on the Hungarian pop and rock scene. We will see, among others, Charlie, János Bródy, Fecó Balázs, KFT, and LGT & Friends. Several bands will appear with a slightly modified line-up, together with guest musicians. For instance, Fecó Balázs and the Korál will play with roma musician Lajos Kathy Horváth; Beatrice will be playing with Hungarian highland musicians; Kispál és a Borz together with Kiscsillag and Juci Németh; and Quimby will share the stage with Ági Szalóki. And of course there are many others, including the likes of Péter Geszti and Péter Novák, Kaukázus, Irie Maffia, PASO, Póka Egon Experience, Magdi Ruzsa and Republic.
Besides Hungarian musicians, the international line-up will also raise the profile of the event. Love Music Hate Racism Allstars Special, i.e. British bands that are dedicated to the cause, will bring the evening to a close. Among these British bands Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and members of Babyshambles will give a one-off show.
While the Main Stage will host the rock bands, over on the World Music Main Stage it will be the best known Hungarian jazz musicians who will join forces on the "Day of Hungarian Jazz". Among others we will see Attila László and friends with Veronika Harcsa and Emilio; Gyula Babos, Gyula Csepregi, Modern Art Orchestra, Morgan Workshop and Budapest Jazz Orchestra. The highlight of the evening will be the nearly 3-hour long show of Miles From India, where former band mates of the trumpet legend will team up with Indian musicians to remember together the one and only Miles Davis.
From 11 pm the event will move away from the Main Stages and into tents and onto the smaller club stages. Major Hungarian stars will perform on the A38-WAN2 Stage, including the likes of Ganxsta Zolee and the Kartel, Animal Cannibals, Ladánybene 27, Sub Bass Monster, Anna and the Barbies, Dopeman, Emilio and Back II Black. Meanwhile on the Budapest Jazz Club stage, jazz musicians like Béla Szakcsi Lakatos, Károly Binder, Mihály Borbély, György Vukán, Balázs Berkes, Imre Kőszegi and Csanyi-Lattmann Quartet will do their stuff along with many others.

What time does Miles from India start? Do I deduct from the write up that it is 20:00? It's just that I met one of the performers in the airport in NY and he looked at his schedule and said that he played at 11:00pm. Could you please give a schedule for 0 day?
Thanks!
