Key Dates You Can’t Miss
May locks in with a trio of standouts.
2026.05.15. — Tamás Molnár (MOLNÁR TAMÁS) acoustic, bringing stripped-back storytelling and radio-built melodies to an intimate, live-room glow. Expect the kind of singalong choruses that work even better on a wooden stool under a warm spotlight.
2026.05.24. — ROCK & METAL NIGHT, a three-act charge with precise set times: 19:30 A’LaCarte, 20:30 Purplemind, 21:30 Ebura. It’s a tight, back-to-back lineup with no slack in between, so get in early, keep your drink topped up, and settle in for groove, grit, and heavy hooks.
2026.05.30. — Matchboys Trio (MATCHBOYS TRIO), turning the room into a locomotive for classic flavors and modern snap. If you love tight musicianship, watch how a trio can fill a stage like a six-piece.
Where It’s All Happening
Address locked: 4200 Hajdúszoboszló, Rákóczi St. (Rákóczi u.) 119. Look for the energy spilling out on weekend nights. It’s the rock home base of the city, and everyone knows it. Organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs, so keep an eye on updates and be flexible—rock ’n’ roll runs on momentum, not spreadsheets.
Make a Night of It: Stay Close
Hajdúszoboszló is all about balancing hard-hitting gigs with dreamy downtime. Hotels and apartments cluster around the famous baths and the city’s green belt, making it easy to swap mosh pits for thermal pools the morning after.
Hotel Barátság*** sits in the heart of the hotel promenade and, as the city’s tallest building, serves up an unrivaled panorama. It has its own full wellness wing—therapeutic and alternating-temperature pools, a jacuzzi, saunas, an infrared sauna, and a steam room—tailored for deep recovery across all ages. This spot blends lodging, wellness, and events under one roof, ideal whether you’re here to rest, recharge, or sign off on business. The in-house spa setup makes it easy to go from guitar feedback to a full-body reset without leaving the building.
Beach-Range Apartments and Quiet Corners
Prefer privacy? Several guesthouses sit 5 minutes on foot from the beach, with four upstairs apartments: two doubles, one for four, and one for five—perfect for groups traveling for the shows. Others settle into the garden district, soaked in stillness but just minutes from the Medicinal Bath (Gyógyfürdő) and Peace Bath (Béke). You’ll find new-build apartments on Kölcsey and Major streets, just 100 to 200 meters from the beach entrance, with restaurants, a market, and multiple grocers close by. One apartment house opened in June 2009 in the resort hub, 200 meters from the beach and 150 meters from the bus station—quiet setting, easy arrivals.
If you’re driving, several guesthouses offer free courtyard parking. Many have a shared breakfast kitchen and operate year-round, aiming squarely at hassle-free downtime. Central stays place you within a few minutes’ walk of the thermal complex—no need for taxis after the encore.
Eat, Sip, Repeat
Put U-Pub Bar on your radar for affordable drinks and a packed slate of fun under one roof: an escape room, bowling, billiards, darts, air hockey, and foosball. Only in Hajdúszoboszló will you find all these in a single stop, tailor-made for killing time before doors or riding the high after a set.
Craving tradition? Kemencés Csárda champions Great Plain (Alföld) heritage, reimagined for today. The menu and interior pay homage to classic roadside inns while staying refreshingly modern. For sweeping views, a popular complex near the baths offers a 150-seat covered terrace and an 80-seat upstairs panorama terrace—bring friends, share plates, linger.
Major Guesthouse and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem) sits on the quiet side of the spa district: an 8-minute walk to the winter entrance and just 2 to the summer gate. Elsewhere, a 107-room family-friendly hotel in the resort area comes loaded with its own wellness and therapy wing, with rooms from doubles to suites—many air-conditioned with balconies—and all with private baths and TVs, minibars, phones, and safes—plug-and-play comfort between gigs.
The refreshed Mirage Restaurant invites families, friends, and partners to an elegant space with a mood-lit pálinka wall, a seasonal menu, and guest-first service. Another spot blends a cozy restaurant and patisserie, plus 13 smart rooms that meet today’s comfort standards; pick bath or shower, business or bliss. And at Nr. 8, settle into one of the city’s largest garden pavilions (filagória) for classics and inventive grills, plus cocktails from April through late November on summer and winter terraces.
One minute from the Hungarospa Medicinal Bath (Hungarospa Gyógyfürdő) entrance, grab sweet or savory crêpes, creative lemonades, cocktails, coffee specials, and artisan ice cream. It’s an easy pre-show snack or a post-concert sugar fix.
