Screened in English with Hungarian subtitles.
8pm – 11pm: WIVES at the Dürer Kert The quite wonderful WIVES hark back to the glory days of the Pixies, conjuring cranked-up post-punk noise and witty lyricism from Queens. Queens as in The Ramones.

The Budapest leg is being hosted by the A38 Ship but staged in the small hall of the Dürer Kert – those lucky enough to be here should brace themselves for an intimate aural onslaught.
