Concert : World Music Stage :

Beat Assailant (Wan2 Stage) :

Prince Spotters :

Beatrice : Just to whet your appetite, here's a quote from Wikipedia:
1979: Beatrice played punk rock music, being the first band in Hungary. Their music were cheap and aggressive. It was against the Socialist system and became highly popular, mostly among the working class young people. It was a unique Hungarian version of punk using folk elements . . . Fero was the absolute frontman, usually making comical and/or aggressive monologues or performances on stage calling himself the "Roach of the Nation". He became a "phenomenon" along with the band.

The Offspring : The Offspring was the second-to-last performing band on the main stage. Security surrounding the gig was tight, and I was lucky to get this panorama stitched from three seperate "moments" in the concert; When Dexter stepped down a level, I got my first shove to get out of the photographers' pit.

Other than getting shoved around a bit, the gig was enjoyable. It was fun to hear Dexter refer to the young adults in front as "kids".

David Krakauer's Klezmer Madness :

Torok Adam : Another Hungarian classic. Back when the Poles were doing amazing experimental jazz stuff with the flute, Torok brought the instrument to Hungarian pop, and never stopped evolving with it.

Quimby (Stage Left) : From last.fm:

Quimby has its root in one of the biggest industrial cities of western Hungary. The band members met during their high school years in Dunaújváros, Hungary at the end of the eighties and played covers of their favorite artists under the moniker October. After they fled from the city and the school, the band went on a short term hiatus until 1991 when they reunited in Budapest, where Quimby actually formed.
