where: Hungary, -
Republic, the EMeRTon-winning rock band formed in 1990, has been a defining force in Hungarian pop-rock for decades — “100 percent HUNGARIAN PRODUCT — by Hungarians, for Hungarians” — touring at home and abroad. Their live calendar is constantly updated with new dates and venues, and 2025 wraps up with a full-throttle celebration.
New Year’s Eve Blowout
2025.12.31 — Exclusive New Year’s Eve in Tatabánya (Szilveszter). The band hits the stage with a full-evening, high-energy concert, primed for thousands to roar the chorus of The Whale Flies (Repül a bálna) and feel how To Love Someone for Something (Szeretni valakit valamiért) still binds generations. After the set, a rock disco keeps the night alive until dawn, with a pulse as solid as when 16 Tons of Black Coal (16 tonna fekete szén) kicks in — and it moves everyone just the same. Venue: 2800 Tatabánya.
Note
Organizers reserve the right to change the time and program. Keep an eye on the band’s continually updated schedule for any adjustments and additional tour stops.

Lyrics, announcements, and crowd banter will be in Hungarian; non-speakers may feel a bit out of the loop
