Sting & Shaggy Free Concert, Heroes' Square, 24 November
Iconic artists Sting and Shaggy are giving a free concert next Saturday on 24 November at 6 pm at Budapest’s Heroes Square to celebrate the 30th birthday of one of the Hungarian lotteries, Hatoslottó.

Legendary British singer Sting and Jamaican-American Shaggy will perform at the free celebration next Sunday following the warm-up concert of Hungarian group Punnany Massif.

The artists released an island-flavored collaborative album called 44/876 on April 20 this year and now they are on a joint European tour. On the road, the musicians are performing both separately and together.

They play songs from the new album and their bands explore each other’s most celebrated hits including “Every Breath You Take,” “Englishman in New York,” “Message in a Bottle,” “It Wasn’t Me,” “Mr. Boombastic” and “Angel.”

The pair initially joined creative forces to record their new song “Don’t Make Me Wait”—a tribute to the Caribbean sounds that influenced them both—and ended up recording an entire album full of joy, melody and uplifting music.

Date and time: 24 November, 6 pm

Venue: 
Heroes' Square
1146 Budapest, Hősök tere

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
