Cons
Nagykanizsa's pretty unknown to us Americans, way off the Budapest tourist trail
Some acts like Freddie or Varga Bendegúz quartet are local Hungarian stars we might not know
Public transport's okay from Budapest by train but involves changes, car’s way easier
Doesn't match epic scale of Vienna Philharmonics or Coachella vibes, more low-key local scene
