August 13-19.


Event recommendations for the weekend, not intended to be a complete list.
If anyone knows of a relevant concert that was missed, let us know!


REMINDER:


Only events that have a Facebook event created and are visible on the band's page are included in the event recommendations (with a few exceptions)!
Furthermore, I would like to draw every band's attention to the importance of creating events for their concerts that can be found on their pages. Simply sharing a post is not enough.


A true August festival weekend awaits us. While there are only a handful of concerts in the capital, the schedule is much busier in the countryside and abroad. Fans of country and rockabilly are particularly well served, with several interesting events ranging from Gárdony and Hajdúszoboszló all the way to Croatia.


One of the highlights of the weekend is that the Hungarian Elvis Club will hold a memorial event on Sunday at Elvis Presley Park. We can also look forward to a noteworthy evening at Kobuci, where Nyughatatlan, The Riverside Soul, Hot Jazz Band, as well as several well-known Hungarian musicians will take the stage.


Jambalaya is once again featured in the event recommendations, as are Matchboys and The BlackBirds. Among the international performances, the events in Italy and Slovenia stand out, where Ed Philips and the Memphis Patrol and Marcello and The Flaming Boppers will represent the Hungarian scene.


The busiest band of the weekend will be CandyMen Duo, who have taken on five performances. They are followed by Pedrofon with four concerts.


This time B'15 Truckabilly Trio, Sonny and his Wild Cows, Red Roosters, Ed Philips and the Memphis Patrol and Pedrofon will all be performing abroad. Hungarian acts can be found in Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, and Slovakia.


On television, in addition to Grease (Moziverzum), Back to the Future (RTL) will also be broadcast.

Rock and Roll is a popular music genre that emerged in the United States during the 1950s. It combines elements of rhythm and blues, country, gospel, and jazz into an energetic and danceable style. The music is characterized by strong rhythms, electric guitars, and catchy melodies. Early pioneers such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley helped bring Rock and Roll to a worldwide audience. Its influence shaped many modern music genres and continues to inspire musicians today.

"Before Elvis there was nothing.” - John Lennon (Beatles)

Rockabilly is one of the earliest forms of Rock and Roll, developing in the United States in the early 1950s. It blends country music, particularly hillbilly music, with rhythm and blues influences. The style is known for its upbeat tempo, twangy guitars, and distinctive slap-back echo on vocals. Artists like Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis were major figures in the Rockabilly movement. Today, Rockabilly remains popular among fans who appreciate its vintage sound and unique fashion culture.

Blues is a music genre that originated within African American communities in the southern United States during the late 19th century. It is known for its emotional expression, often reflecting themes of hardship, love, and resilience. Blues music typically follows a twelve-bar chord progression and features expressive vocals and instrumental solos. Influential musicians such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Robert Johnson helped define the genre. The Blues became the foundation for many later music styles, including Rock and Roll, jazz, and soul.

Country is a genre of music that originated in the rural regions of the southern United States during the early 20th century. It combines folk traditions, storytelling lyrics, and simple yet memorable melodies. Common instruments include acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, and steel guitar. Country songs often focus on everyday life, family, love, and personal experiences. Artists such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson helped make Country music one of the most popular genres in the world.

Beat music is a genre that developed in the United Kingdom during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It combines elements of Rock and Roll, rhythm and blues, and skiffle music. The style is characterized by strong backbeat rhythms, vocal harmonies, and guitar-driven arrangements. Bands such as The Beatles, The Searchers, and Gerry and the Pacemakers became leading representatives of the Beat movement. Beat music played a major role in the British Invasion and significantly influenced the development of modern pop and rock music.
