The Qualitons bring their sprawling, fuzz-soaked sound to Budapest’s Instant on Friday, January 23, 2026—and it won’t cost a cent to get in. The open, ever-evolving musical collective channels the crackling energy and kaleidoscopic textures of 60s–70s psychedelic rock, a vibe they’ve honed for more than 15 years to wide critical acclaim.
Why it matters
They are the first Hungarian performers to play live at KEXP’s studio, the famed U.S. community radio powerhouse—a milestone that stamped their passport onto the global psych map. Expect hypnotic grooves, vintage grit, and sharp musicianship from a group that thrives on spontaneity and deep-cut influences.
Event details
Part of the InStart series, the show at Instant is free to attend. Expect a night that leans into analog warmth, widescreen jams, and the heady rush of psych-era spirit—all delivered live, loud, and up close.
