Now you can join the A38 party crowd, anywhere, any time. Budapest’s most unique concert locale is screening concerts on four of its themed YouTube channels, each focused on a different music style. Whether you are into hardcore, ethno or electronica, there will be plenty of relevant shows shared online by A38. Concerts uploaded on the video-sharing website include multi-instrumentalist singer Sóley, the French Nouvelle Vague and melodic hardcore band Ignite. Relive the best moments if you went to any of the shows or just see the hottest gigs online.
A38 is spreading good vibes and great music worldwide. This former cargo boat, now a cherished concert venue, hosts hundreds of shows a year, with something for everyone every night. International and local artists play a varied musical repertoire, including pop, rock and post-metal.

If you were among the crowd gathered for Fish! or when The Brian Jonestown Massacre conquered the stage in a three-hour marathon, you can enjoy the best moments once more if you log onto A38 Rocks.

Shows by many popular local performers also feature, while the international line-up includes the Icelandic Sóley, the London-based Stereo MCs and Swedish folk-rock band Junip.

Considered home to jazz, experimental and avant-garde music styles, the multifunctional A38 is hard to categorise. The A38 Free channel represents the bohemian side to the venue, with performances by lute player Jozef van Wissem and cult British musical trio The Tiger Lillies made available to a wider audience.

Rodrigo y Gabriela’s flamenco, authentic Gypsy music by the Hungarian Parno Graszt and Shantal’s Balkan brass combined with electronica, all feature on the A38 World channel.
