Papp László Budapest Sportaréna

Architects ready for their first arena show in Budapest 

Architects return to Budapest with their new album, three years after their thrilling concert in Budapest Park. The gig will be the band's biggest ever in Hungary, this time at Budapest Arena, where they will be performing their latest album The Sky, The Earth & All Between, and will be supported by Landmvrks and The President.

Just a few bands make it to their 11th album and deliver their best music, but Architects have done just that. Touring stadiums with Metallica for two years gave them clarity: they could legitimately do this forever, something that hadn’t felt possible when they began the band as scrappy teenagers. In fact, they realised they were only halfway through their career, provided they stayed passionate and kept their creative edge. 

The resulting The Sky, The Earth & All Between is a masterful rock album, forever shifting between aggressive, melodic, and experimental sounds while maintaining a cohesive vision. The grandiosity of the title reflects its ambition, but the music feels effortless—an elemental summation of everything Architects have been and could become. 

We will be able to taste this masterful blend at the band's biggest Budapest concert ever, on 27 January 2026 at Budapest Arena.

David Byrne returns to Budapest after 17 years

His career began as a founding member of Talking Heads, but after the band’s breakup he went on to build a legendary solo career as well, with songs that reflect the colorful imprint of his creative, ever-restless mind. His new album, Who Is The Sky?, released this year, is no exception — it is filled with joyful and cinematic moments. David Byrne last performed in Budapest in 2009, making his return on June 18 at the Budapest Arena a truly special occasion.

OneRepublic conquers Budapest again

The American pop-rock band will take over the Budapest Arena on June 25 with their hits and explosive energy.

So far, OneRepublic has visited Budapest three times, most recently in the spring of 2022, shortly after Covid restrictions were lifted, as one of the first major international acts to return, delivering an unforgettable show. 

The GRAMMY-nominated OneRepublic consists of singer-songwriter and frontman Ryan Tedder, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, keyboardist Brian Willett, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher. Since forming in 2002, the group has amassed more than 5 billion streams on Spotify alone, and their hits have dominated radio and streaming charts. Their songs like the record-breaking Apologize, All The Right Moves, Secrets, Good Life, and Counting Stars, which sold 41 million copies.
Their hits have been featured in countless films, and the band has also opened for a new ground in the past year, writing songs for the hugely successful manga-anime adaptation, Kaiju No.8.

The band wrapped up their tour in the United Kingdom and Europe this November, and next year they will return to the old continent with their From Europe With Love tour—arriving in Budapest as well, on June 25 at the Budapest Arena.

LENNY KRAVITZ RETURNS TO BUDAPEST

The multitalented icon, Lenny Kravitz, has announced his Lenny Kravitz Live 2026 tour, with which he will return to Budapest on August 2 at the Budapest Arena — almost exactly two years after his hugely successful concert here.

Regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race, and class over the course of a three decade-plus musical career. Reveling in the soul, rock, and funk influences of the sixties and seventies, the writer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has won four GRAMMY® Awards.  

Following the highly acclaimed Blue Electric Light Tour 2025 — which brought sold-out shows across Europe, South America, Australia, and even included a Las Vegas residency — Kravitz continues what Billboard has called the “Lennaissance,” a period of worldwide success and creative rebirth.
