Hajdúszoboszló kicks off summer early in 2026 with live music and poolside buzz at Hungarospa, the city’s famed spa and leisure complex. The concerts are set around 1–3 Szent István Park, 4200 Hajdúszoboszló, putting fans a short stroll from the thermal baths, slides, and the town’s busiest promenade. Mark Friday, May 1, for a double bill: a Dér Heni concert and a Tina Turner tribute powered by the Abrakazabra band, featuring guest vocalists Linda Király, Réka Koós, and Jennifer Szirota. The organizers reserve the right to change times and programs, so keep an eye on updates and plan to arrive early—everything’s within walking distance, but the vibe gets lively fast.
Where and when to go
The action centers on 1–3 Szent István Park. On May 1, Dér Heni takes the stage in Hajdúszoboszló, delivering chart-friendly pop energy to match the holiday mood. The same day, Abrakazabra anchors a Tina Turner memorial concert with powerhouse guests Linda Király, Réka Koós, and Jennifer Szirota. Expect a greatest-hits ride across eras, big-band punch, and show-stopping vocals. More shows roll into summer on June 12–13, hinting at a wider weekend of happenings as the high season warms up. Call, follow, or tap through the organizers’ booking and info buttons for the latest schedule, table and room reservations, and notifications if you want alerts.
Stay steps from the stages
Hotels and apartments cluster around the spa district, so it’s easy to go car-free. Hotel Barátság*** stands tall over the green belt in the heart of the hotel promenade and is the city’s tallest building, which means wide-open views. The on-site bath and wellness section features therapy and alternating-temperature pools, whirlpools, saunas, an infrared sauna, and a steam bath—designed for recovery days and late-morning lazing. Its pitch is simple: accommodation, wellness, and events in one place, whether you’re here to unwind or close a deal between sets.
Five minutes from the beach entrance (about 0.25 mile), a holiday house offers four separate upstairs apartments year-round: two for two people, one for four, and one for five. For travelers chasing silence after loud choruses, several guesthouses in the garden quarter of the resort area promise deep calm. From there, the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Baths (Béke Fürdő) are just a few minutes’ walk, so you can soak before soundcheck.
If you want location, location, location, a central pension sits by the small airport, 328 feet from the beach, and 1,312 feet from the Aquapark and the newer Extreme Slide Park. The Árpád Pool and Hungarospa therapy building are next door, handy for anyone booking medical or wellness treatments during a concert weekend. Alice Apartman has kept it homely and calm since 2010, close to the strand, thermal baths, and the Aqua-Palace water world. Another apartment house lies a comfortable five-minute walk from the world-famous baths in a quiet corner of the resort quarter.
Pick your apartment street-smart
New-build apartments on Kölcsey and Major streets sit 328 feet and 656 feet from the beach entrances, respectively. You’ll find restaurants, a market, and grocery shops nearby, which takes the stress out of a two-show day. There’s also an apartment house within the country’s largest spa-and-strand complex, opened in June 2009, just 656 feet from the beach and 492 feet from the bus station—ideal if you’re rolling in on public transport.
Prefer a tucked-away base? One guesthouse sits at the end of a cul-de-sac, away from through traffic, with free courtyard parking, a shared breakfast kitchen, and year-round availability. For a central address, another stay is planted right in the heart of Hajdúszoboszló, just a short walk from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő), keeping every venue within easy reach.
Eat, drink, play
Between gigs, U-Pub Bar turns into a one-stop fun house: escape room, bowling, billiards, darts, air hockey, and foosball, with a broad drink list and friendly prices. For a plate of tradition refashioned, Kemencés Csárda leans into Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld) heritage—menu and interior both nod to classic roadside csárdas while keeping it fresh for today’s diners. A romantic dining complex near the baths offers a 150-seat covered terrace and an 80-seat upstairs panorama terrace—great for golden-hour cocktails before the headliner hits.
Mirage Restaurant has been freshly revamped with an exclusive look, a mood-lit pálinka wall, seasonal menus, and service that keeps fans flowing in and out on a tight schedule. Another spot blends an atmospheric restaurant and patisserie with a robust drink list and 13 room types—business travelers, couples, families, and the young at heart can all match their mood, with rooms offered in both bathtub and shower versions.
Nr. 8 serves up classic and creative grills in the spa district, with summer and winter terraces open from April to late November. Its nearly 80-seat gazebo is one of the city’s largest, and the cocktail list is built for long evenings. Craving a quick fix? A crêpe joint just one minute from the Hungarospa Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance flips sweet and savory options alongside lemonades, cocktails, specialty coffees, and artisanal ice cream.
Make it easy on yourself
Reserve a table or room through the booking links, call if you need help, and follow the organizers for live updates.
