Nena’s return marks a highly anticipated moment for Hungarian fans.

A tour spanning generations

Launched in 2024, the Wir Gehören Zusammen tour has already wowed over 150,000 fans across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands. The show celebrates more than 40 years of Nena’s musical journey, featuring a mix of beloved hits and hidden gems from her extensive repertoire.

The Budapest concert will be a full-scale production: a two-hour performance supported by a ten-piece band, promising an immersive rock ‘n’ roll experience filled with emotion, energy, and a powerful connection with the audience.

“This is a wave of love that keeps growing stronger,” Nena said of the tour. “It comes from all of us—those in front of, behind, and on the stage—people who want to spend beautiful moments together. We sing, dance, laugh, and celebrate life. ‘We belong together’ is a simple message that we take out into the world.”
