Sziget has been back in the news in recent years. Hungary banned Kneecap for three years ahead of their August 2025 set, a decision the festival called unprecedented and regrettable, and it sat in the wider debate over artist boycotts while owned by Superstruct, a KKR-backed festival group. In November 2025 it was reported that ownership was returning to Sziget founder Károly Gerendai.
