From 25 to 31 December every night brings another concert experience starring popular entertainers from the Hungarian music scene: Colorstar, Random Trip, Hősök and JumoDaddy, just to mention a few.

Stop the Time – Psylvestrance @ Dürer Kert
If you’re of the opinion that there’s no better time of the year to experience a collective state of bodily transcendence than New Year’s Eve, then you’re in luck, because Psylvestrance is here to transport your mind into another realm! Organized by goa.hu, Forever Psychedelic, and Psybaba Records, the 31 December party will be held at Dürer Kert, featuring an international lineup of psychedelic and goa trance producers, including Pixel from Israel and Cosmo from Slovakia, Martin Audio Ltd soundsystem, and mind-blowing visuals. Doors open at 9 PM. Early bird tickets are available from 4,000 HUF.
A38 NYE
Not everyone has the budget for welcoming the New Year on a luxury cruise ship – some of us will have to do with a repurposed Ukrainian stone carrier ship docked on the river Danube. Thanks to the A38 NYE party’s rich lineup of Hungarian electronic music producers, we don’t really mind! Organized by the Bladerunnaz and Next Level teams and starting at 10.30 PM, the event will feature no less than 18 performers (including Dublic, Chris.Su, Statik, DJ Ren and Maddow) spread over two rooms, supplying party-goers with a heavy dose of bass music, from dubstep and dnb to riddim, trap, jumpup, bass house, neurofunk, liquid, and jungle.
Jazz New Year’s Eve @ Budapest Jazz Club
Looking to ring in the New Year in style this year? Instead of spending the night at home in your pajamas or a dark and crowded party venue, why not celebrate with classy tunes, and a five-star culinary experience? Budapest Jazz Club’s Jazz New Year’s Eve combines contemporary jazz and a friendly atmosphere with international dishes served throughout the evening and traditional stuffed cabbage with sour cream at midnight. Ensuring the good vibes will be SoLaTi Band, Elsa Valle Afrocanado, and the Tálas Áron Trio. A full night ticket goes for 24,900 HUF.
