'Funky Festival', MVM Dome Budapest, 27 June
Organisers are delighted to announce the 2024 Funky Festival, where the heavyweights of Funky music will gather.

Funky is not just a musical style, not just a realm of rhythms and colours, but also a positive energy-infused way of life that equals joy and vitality. It encompasses those vibrant sounds and grooves that are inseparably linked to the legends of the Funky universe.

At the festival, you can experience three iconic and defining bands that guarantee an explosive atmosphere.

The transitions between the bands will be taken care of by the well-known Hungarian DJs of Get Funky Party: Imre Suri and László Jazzkovács, ensuring the best guarantee for escalating the party. Alongside Funky, their repertoire includes Soul, R&B, and Hip-Hop, as well as classic American disco.

Kool & The Gang – Best Of

This legendary band has been dominating stages since 1969, bringing us hits like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie... Two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B, and 9 Top Ten Pop hits – just a few of their many accolades.

Earth Wind & Fire experience by Al McKay – Best Of

Led by the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire guitarist Al McKay, this ensemble comprises some of Los Angeles' finest studio and concert musicians

. They deliver the Super Group's hits in their original keys and style, maintaining the high standard of EWF's sound. Their music is rhythmically rich and invigorating.

The band's history dates back to 1990 when Al McKay revived the spirit of EWF under the name "LA Allstars," later renamed "Al McKay Allstars." On their global tour, they encapsulate the experience of EWF's peak in the '70s and '80s. They are hailed as the best Funky band on the planet.
