Budapest Park

The city’s prime outdoor live-music venue stages shows two or three times a week from late April to late September. A crowd of several thousand can gather in front of the main stage, rows of lounges and skyboxes looking down on proceedings from above, ideal for those too old or too posh to mosh and happy to pay extra. Guests there gain access to private bars and toilets while the hoi polloi have to make do with busy outlets and amenities.

The concert agenda is generally filled with popular Hungarian acts and the kind of UK/US has-beens – Billy Idol, the Sex Pistols sans Lydon – who can still fill a decent-sized venue in these parts. All is a convenient hop away from the terminus of the number 2 tram connecting to the city centre.
