Budapest’s ready to blast into summer: over three nights, May 28–30, the City Takeover Summer Kickoff Weekend turns Vajdahunyad Castle (Vajdahunyad vára) into a party fortress with international headliners and big-venue energy. Historic walls, massive sound, zero chill.
Thursday: Hungarian DJ All-Stars
May 28 starts fast with Hungarian DJ All-Stars stacking homegrown talent for a crowd-pleasing sprint into the season. Expect a high-BPM roll call and a packed courtyard as the castle flips into festival mode.
Friday: Alle Farben Lands in Budapest
On May 29, German hitmaker and global touring force Alle Farben steps in with bright-house euphoria and radio-slaying hooks. Think feel-good builds, sunset shimmer, and the kind of singalong drops that carry all night.
Saturday: Heineken x UEFA Champions League Afterparty
May 30 closes with the official Heineken x UEFA Champions League Afterparty, topped by masked maestro Claptone. Deep, classy grooves, golden-hour mystique, and a finale built for big-stage drama. Three nights, one castle, zero forgettable moments.
