The British indie pop band Bastille was originally scheduled to perform at the SZIN Festival in Szeged on August 26.

However, the band canceled its appearance due to a serious vocal cord issue affecting lead singer Dan Smith. Following medical advice, the group withdrew from the opening day of the festival. In response to the cancellation, organizers secured Hungarian singer Magdi Rúzsa to perform as the new headliner. The remainder of the festival lineup remains unchanged.
