Budapest Concerts 2027: Three Major Music Updates

Slash and Myles Kennedy to play an open-air concert at Budapest Park

14 July 2027 · Budapest Park · From HUF 20,100

Slash is returning to Hungary with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. According to the Live Nation Hungary event page, the concert will take place at Budapest Park on 14 July 2027 as part of the European leg of the Flying Blind World Tour 2027. The open-air venue offers a different setting from arena concerts for their guitar-driven hard rock.

According to Live Nation Hungary, the Hungarian audience will also hear songs from the new album, Flying Blind, at the concert. The performance is therefore expected not to rely solely on previous hits, but to showcase the new material as well. However, the exact setlist is not known, so the inclusion of any particular Guns N’ Roses or Slash song cannot be taken for granted in advance.

According to the Funcode event page, standard ticket prices start at HUF 20,100. The advertised amount may not be the final price for every ticket category, so it is worth checking the selected ticket type, any additional charges and the current terms of sale before purchasing. Availability in the different categories may also change over time.

Information about the start time and doors opening is inconsistent, so this article does not give a start time. In any case, the time the doors open should not be confused with the start of the show. When planning a visit, it is advisable to check the organiser’s event page again closer to the concert, particularly for admission details and the running order.

For tickets, information from official sales channels provides the most reliable guidance. The prices and terms of offers on resale marketplaces may differ from those provided by the organiser or official partner. Fans should therefore review not only the price, but also the seller’s identity and the conditions attached to the ticket.

The Wish Machine is live: fans can help shape Sziget’s 2027 line-up

According to MusicDaily, the Wish Machine for the 2027 Sziget Festival has launched, allowing fans to indicate which artists they would like to see at the event. Based on the music website’s description, the initiative provides an opportunity to gather audience opinions, but it should not be regarded as a preview of the final line-up.

The result of the vote does not in itself amount to an official invitation or a confirmed performance. An international artist’s appearance can be affected by several factors, including touring plans, availability and numerous organisational and contractual conditions. The wishes can therefore indicate, at most, which artists attract the greatest interest among participants.

According to MusicDaily’s article, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Benson Boone were among the available names. However, this does not mean that any of them are confirmed for the 2027 festival. Only musicians officially announced by Sziget can be regarded as confirmed performers.

MusicDaily’s report suggests that the Wish Machine is primarily intended to collect audience preferences. It may also start a conversation about the genres and live music experiences visitors expect from the next festival season. Popularity can provide valuable feedback, but it does not guarantee that a particular artist will ultimately be included in the programme.

Prospective visitors should therefore distinguish between the names appearing in the Wish Machine, speculation circulating on social media and actual artist announcements. The festival’s official communications will provide reliable information about the final programme, dates, ticket prices and terms of sale. For now, the initiative described by MusicDaily offers a way to express audience opinion rather than presenting a completed programme.

Manowar return to Budapest Arena with an anniversary show

23 January 2027 · Budapest Arena

According to Manowar’s official tour page, the band will perform at Budapest Arena on 23 January 2027 as part of the Kings of Metal Fighting The World Tour 2027. The band says this will be their first Budapest concert in more than two decades. For long-standing Hungarian fans, the show is therefore not simply another tour date, but a return that ends a lengthy absence.

According to the band’s official announcement, they will perform the album Fighting The World from beginning to end in Hungary for the first time at the Budapest concert. This format differs from compilation shows built exclusively around the best-known songs, as the album’s complete material and original dramatic arc may take centre stage. The anniversary programme may therefore be particularly appealing to those who want to hear the entire album live rather than just a few hits.

Manowar’s official information promises a large-scale, spectacular arena production. This is consistent with the band’s reputation for monumental concerts, although the technical features and every detail of the full show are not known in advance. The confirmed elements are the Budapest tour date, the venue and a complete performance of Fighting The World.

Those planning to attend should check current event pages for ticket categories, prices, the start time and admission details. Conditions may change before the event, so it is not advisable to rely solely on earlier social media posts or unofficial offers. For final visitor information, the latest announcements from the band, the organiser and the official ticket seller should be treated as authoritative.

Manowar’s return and Slash’s summer concert represent two different rock traditions, but both appeal to substantial fan bases. The former focuses on a complete classic album and an arena spectacle, while the latter will be an open-air tour date featuring new songs as well. Meanwhile, according to MusicDaily, Sziget’s Wish Machine gives the audience an opportunity to indicate their artist preferences.
