A little nostalgia – Check out the greatest Budapest concerts! – VIDEOS

During the past three decades, the Hungarian capital gave home to several amazing shows and unforgettable concerts. Now, let us travel back in time and check out some of the greatest Budapest concerts 😉

1986 – Queen

One of the most memorable concert experiences can be attributed to the band Queen, who visited us in 1986 to give a fantastic show in Budapest. 

The unforgettable concert was attended by 80,000 people, leaving its mark on the history of Budapest’s greatest concerts.

Even today, goosebumps are guaranteed when you recall one of the greatest singers of the time, Freddie Mercury, singing to the audience the Hungarian children’s song “Spring Wind Floods Water” (Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt). One of the most memorable moments, for sure.

1991 – Monsters of Rock – AC/DC, Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Queensrÿche

In 1991, one of the most amazing shows was performed by Monsters of Rock. In addition to the audience, the huge concert experience was a great moment for the performing band as well; that was followed by the biggest parties in the history of rock in front of one and a half million people in Moscow.

1992 – Guns N ‘Roses

The Hungarian children’s song inspired Guns N ‘Roses as well, who visited us in 1992. According to lobu.hu, the ticket for this concert was six times more than in the case of Queen, which was one-fifth of the average salary at the time. Nevertheless, the show was attended by 70,000 spectators. The concert also remained amazingly memorable due to a torrential rainstorm, regardless of which the show went on in the stadium along with the loyal audience. Following the example of Freddie Mercury, the frontman Axel Rose also sang the Hungarian children’s song “Spring Wind Floods Water” (Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt) to the audience.

1993 – Depeche Mode

In 1993, Depeche Mode visited us for the third time; however, this time with a renewed image and musical style, reported hvg. Still, one thing has not changed: the band could not really get out of the hotel due to the enthusiastic fans.
