Free Concert: Ricky Martin To Play Greatest Hits in Budapest
- 30 Aug 2024 11:30 AM
Ricky Martin will be the headline guest at this year’s Napi Mázli Super Concert, set to take place on September 21 at Heroes' Square in the capital, announced Andrea Mager, CEO of Szerencsejáték Zrt.
Joining the Latin pop icon on stage will be DJ Viktória Metzker, Lili Regán, and T. Danny.
Andrea Mager highlighted that these super concerts have provided tens of thousands of people with a free, registration-free concert experience for years, and this year will be no different, with the event returning to its traditional venue at Heroes' Square.
She added that concertgoers will also have the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause by purchasing lottery tickets at the event. This year, all proceeds will be donated to the Hungarian Interchurch Aid to support disadvantaged families.
Kristóf Gáncs, Executive Director of the organization, noted that the HUF 8.5 million (EUR 21,635) raised at last year’s concert helped fund the Sure Start Children’s Home, which supports disadvantaged children from infancy. He also announced that the Hungarian Interchurch Aid and Szerencsejáték Zrt. have signed a four-year strategic partnership, including the introduction of a special lottery ticket next year to benefit the relief organization’s efforts.
Last year’s concert attracted around 50,000 attendees at Budapest’s Statue Park (Memento Park) and was followed online by approximately 15,000 viewers. This year’s event also marks the launch of Szerencsejáték Zrt.’s new lottery game, Napi Mázli (“Daily Luck”).
The concert will kick off with a performance by DJ Viktória Metzker, followed by rapper, singer, and songwriter T. Danny, and then Lili Regán. Ricky Martin will close the night with a special show featuring hits like "Livin’ la Vida Loca" and "She Bangs."
As in previous years, accessibility accommodations will be provided, including a grandstand near the stage and a dedicated entrance for people with disabilities.
