FridayIV. Tattoo The Sun Festival @ Dürer-kert, 18:00.
Something extreme(ly good) for the weekend: brutal concerts, pyrotechnics, acrobats, a photo exhibition, and, of course, tattoos. Surely something that doesn't happen every day.
The lineup includes bands like Blind Myself, Lost Continent (both of them will do a new-album-release gig), Don Gatto, Kill With Hate, Conan's First Date, Sleepless, Hortobágy Hardcore Crew – a wide variety of styles ranging from raw hardcore to stoner doom and deathcore. Apart from the musical massacre, visit Kelemen Beáta's photo exhibition, see Anima Prizma's performance including a fire show, acrobats, and dancers, and check out hundreds of tattoos.Irie Maffia, Odett @ Budapest Park, 19:00.
The finest Hungarian rap-rock-reggae fusion band is back in town! Before them, something for the popsouls – Odett!
Irie Maffia is one of the favorite bands of young partygoers of Budapest, which can hardly be considered a surprise given the powerful medley of reggae, hip-hop, rock, and funk they play, and the impressive lineup in terms of the Hungarian underground-music scene. Sena, MC Columbo, and MC Busa are all well-known figures of Budapest's nightlife. Among the musicians are such names as Dermot, the ingenious bandleader and trombone-player, or Jumo Daddy behind the keyboards. Before them, hear one of the most charming Hungarian singers, Odett– a fine threat if you are into Madonna or Kylie Minogue!Easy Lovin' Summer Edition @ kolor, 22:00.
Hip-hop. Funk. Soul. New school R&B. Feelgood vibes. Headnodding. All night long. Any questions?
The DJ sets of Easy Lovin' Crew are always a good treat for your ears, if you are into the aforementioned styles. This is not only because they are real vinyl fetishists, but because their knowledge of music is unmatched. What makes this night so special is that they invited the DJ and scratchmaster of Halott Pénz, DJ Venom, to flip the tapes and spin the vinyls. Apart from them, the usual maestros (Slanki and Turner) will be responsible for the good vibes and the strict beats.SaturdayGardrób's Thrift Shop Community & Common Market @ Central Passage, 11:00.
Bring your old too-big too-small clothes, and maybe somebody will buy them, making the day brighter for everyone.
"One man's trash, that's another man's come-up!" – such is the wisdom of Macklemore's famous song. That's what this day is all about: finding your new favorite clothes for a cheap price, selling old duds, buying something for those you love, and having fun. Meanwhile, Common Market offers a wide variety of healthy food, honey, jam, meats, and spices. This is about local farmers who bring food, vegetables, fruits, and everything else – all without manipulated gens, artificial addictions, or anything like that.Gastro- & Etno-Celebration @ Múzeumkert Garden & Lounge, 12:00. One more reason to visit the 30Y is one of the most important Hungarian alternative-rock bands. Altough they started off as a Kispál És A Borz ripoff, they soon found their own style and became better and better in mixing beat with rock and punk with pop. Apart from Kispál És A Borz, they were clearly influenced by legendary bands like Európa Kiadó, Simon & Garfunkel, the Beatles – their list of infleunces is ever-growing. Óriás is like a lighthearted Ninjabreakz is the DJ-crew of Krueger, Pryus, Zera, and Adam Dolph. Their main focus is on breakbeat and the most explosive bass-music hybrids, but they don't like to limit themselves to a style or two: they just play the music they love. Sometimes they invite a famous DJ to do the same thing: Stanton Warriors, Adam Freeland, Krafty Kuts, Lady Waks, and Plump DJs were just a few of their guests. Well, there's no special guest this night, but we can still guarantee that all of the DJ sets will be really good.SundayRed Bull Street Style @ Raqpart, 17:00. Red Bull Street Style is a game and global event series that aims to find the best overall freestyle soccer player in the world. The sport of freestyle is free and truly has many styles of players.

If you want to listen to a record before buying it, you will find record players, pick-ups, jack transformers, and headphones to do so. Apart from buying and selling vinyl gold, you can talk about your favorite records with other fanatics and stand behind the turntables (open decks!). Győremix! and his crew will start the headnodding party, but anybody can go and play his or her favorite record.LavaLava Open Air - The Showdown @ Corvintető, 18:00. Soulful house/techno music, starry-eyed pop, a rush of adrenaline – the most important sports event of the year is coming to an end. Be part of the excitement and dance through the night, because your team lost/won the finals.Special Providence @ A38 Ship, 19:00. Special Providence formed in January, 2004 among longtime friends and musicians of Kőbánya Music Studio and the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. The members of the band play with many well-known and appreciated groups in Hungary, and took part in the making of several albums as songwriters, studio musicians, or orchestrators. This band represents the so-called "fusion-jazz" style, and loves unique musical solutions while playing dynamically onstage.
Good food, good music, good vibes – aren't these the secret ingredients of the best weekends?

First of all, it will offer cultural programs for everybody, from snobs to families who just want to try something really different. They have Hungarian artisanal beers on tap, artisanal ice cream, fruit-fueled lemonades, and a lot more – and we haven't talked about food yet. But we should, since this place offers the best of traditional Hungarian cuisine.
