The Hungarian Depeche Mode, aka Bonanza Banzai, is the country's most well-known snyth pop band, partly because their singer Ákos had (and still has) a very successful solo career after they broke up. Of course, they were inspired by bands like Tears For Fears, and Yazoo – just like any other synth pop band in the '80s – and the pop part in the genre they've played wasn't just an accident: most of their songs are still played by radio stations, mainly because of their catchiness. After Bozai Benzolat's concert in the main hall, the selectors will keep you on the dance floor with the biggest hits of Ákos and Bonanza Banzai. The garden will be about beer and the best songs of the '80s. Yes, that means a lot of Depeche Mode!LavaLava & ClubMate.hu Present: Berlin Bash #06 - Beaner @ Corvintető, 22:00.
When it comes to Pablo Roman-Alcalá (aka Beaner), get ready for everything: whenever he is behind the decks, straight-up dance cuts always come with a twist.
The former resident at the late Bar25, who sometimes DJs under his other alias Skirtchaser, is one of the strangest creatures of Berlin's nightlife. He likes to keep the crowd busy with the freshest club-friendly deep house/techno cuts, but all of them come with a twist. Although he knows what the dance floor needs, he doesn't always rush to satisfy those needs – he also likes to play late-night dub cuts for your head-nodding pleasure. We couldn't get any insider tips about what to expect, so prepare for anything! Hungarian DJs: Tolo, Fanki Ridm, Falcao.Normafa Open Air: Night Of The Beasts @ Normafa, 22:00.
A sky full of stars, a lineup full of the best party organizer/DJ crews: goa, psy-trance, techno, house, and a lot more all night long. You'll surely find something to your liking.

The DJs of HI!FLY, StayFly, and NVC will keep the minimal-house addicts busy: Dr. Zoidberg, Sinko, Yvel & Tristan, Sobek and Alive will bomb the partygoers with their personal favorites. When it comes to goa, there will be a third arena, where QY, Hruscsov & Sasa, Psyletzky, KeZo, and Green Cosmos will take you down the rabbit hole.SaturdayFilter Workshop - Kalita @ TAMP&PULL, 10:00.

Summer lasts until the end of the end of the last open air "sparty"; we're guessing that this will be it. But if you don't feel the pull of the crystal-clear pools, there are still plenty of things to do or dance to.
It's that time of the year, so again Kolor takes possession of the sun-splashed pools and grassy grounds of BVSC. While dancing goodbye to this great summer, you can also beat your friends in games like pétanque, badminton, or table tennis. If you get tired, you can simply lie down or jump into the water – that's a free cooler! You should already know that there is no open-air Kolor party without an impressive list of guest DJs, and this "sparty" is no expection: Manek, Blatti, Hi, Tom Select (aka the Pétanque Boys), Soundbank, Prsly, and Flux's audio-visual set will start you up and keep you going. If you feel like going, register first.30Y - Summer Closing Concert @ Kobuci Kert, 19:00.
One of the most popular Hungarian bands show what they've learned from the ground-breaking group Kispál És A Borz, and say goodbye to the season with a great concert.
30Y is one of the most important Hungarian alternative-rock bands. Although 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, and the Beatles – their list of influences is ever-growing. But what really matters is that they have grown to be one of the bands that prove that there is a future for Hungarian alt-rock, even after Kispál disbanded. Let go of summer with a blast!Nippon Groove @ Blue Hell (Kék Yuk), 21:00.
If you are a fan of Asian pop music, this is your party: the founders of SoundOfJapan.hu will keep playing the catchiest tunes all night long.
Case & Ji started the party series years ago – this was the first monthly event to focus on Japanese and Korean music, and it quickly became popular amongst those who listen to these far-out tunes of the Far East. When it comes to Japanese and Korean music, well, everything can happen from pop to trap, from visual kei (hard rock, metal, and the likes of it) to house, from hip-hop to folk. So yes, there are no boundaries when it comes to the music they'll play here.SundayCelebrate Jewish Gastronomy @ Mazel Tov, 11:00.

The celebration will take place at Mazel Tov, which will debut their brand-new shawarma and Jerusalem mix during the one-day-long festival.World's Greatest Dad @ Kolor, 19:00.
World's Greatest Dad is a risky, deadpan, dark comedy that effectively explores the nature of posthumous cults of celebrity – starring Robin Williams.
Offering Robin Williams his richest role in memory while serving up a nice cold bowl of shock soup for the audience, World's Greatest Dad is a surprisingly smart and severely twisted dark comedy from comic Bobcat Goldthwait. The film is about a man that learns the things you want most may not be the things that make you happy, and that being lonely is not necessarily the same as being alone. Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is a man who has learned to settle. He dreamed of being a rich and famous writer, but has only managed to make it as a high-school poetry teacher. His only son Kyle is an insufferable jackass who won't give his father the time of day. He is dating Claire (Alexie Gilmore), the school's adorable art teacher, but she doesn't want to get serious -- or even acknowledge publicly that they are dating. Then, in the wake of a freak accident, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and greatest opportunity of his life. He is suddenly faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune, and popularity he ever dreamed of, if he can only live with the knowledge of how he got there.Nice Verdes @ MÜSZI, 21:00.
