Rihanna has been announced as the Sziget Festival's Day 0 bill topper.

Rihanna earlier this year released her long-awaited eighth album ANTI, featuring tracks such as Drake collab "Work".

The Hungarian fest has been steadily adding some major names, with the likes of Sigur Rós, Sia, Muse, David Guetta, Bastille, Crystal Castles, M83, CHVRCHES, MØ, Bloc Party, and many more already on the bill.

Sziget also said recently that "festival visitors can also expect a huge wave of announcements coming up in the near future connected to the 'soul of Sziget', including hundreds of non-musical programs happening on the island. Sziget is not only a music festival, but a place where the agenda of NGOs or contemporary dance and theatre are as important as any music acts."

Sziget 2016 takes place in Budapest, Hungary, from 10-17 August.

Tickets and travel packages are on sale now.
