- 24 Jul 2025 11:56 AM
The award-winning Valley of Arts was named the Best Eastern European Festival at the Heavent Festival Awards in Paris. This prestigious recognition places the festival prominently on Europe’s cultural map, surpassing notable competitors such as Serbia's Exit Festival and Kosovo's Sunny Hill Festival.
Returning for its 34th edition in 2025, the Valley of Arts runs for 10 days from July 18 to 27, bringing a mix of familiar faces and first-time icons to the picturesque Hungarian villages of Kapolcs, Vigántpetend, and Taliándörögd.
Known for its multi-disciplinary approach, the Valley of Arts offers nearly 3,000 events spanning music, theater, literature, and visual arts.
Major performances will take place at the festival’s largest venue, the Panorama Stage, featuring prominent acts like Carson Coma, fresh off their European tour; Elefánt, who will open the festival; Beton.Hofi, making a return from hiatus; and rising hip-hop artist Co Lee, who will perform with a full band at the Lőtér Stage in Taliándörögd.
The Lőtér Stage, a new favorite since its launch two years ago, will also host Analog Balaton, the internationally acclaimed Jazzbois, and Moriones, a former festival volunteer who has since become a celebrated performer.
Fans can look forward to special performances at the Cirque du Tókert Stage by enduring icons such as Zorán and Zsuzsa Koncz, the latter making her debut at the festival. This stage will also feature A Grund – vígszínházi fiúzenekar, a captivating fusion of theater and music led by Márk Ember and József Wunderlich.
So, here are the ones we will definitely meet in 2025:
Beyond its diverse music program, the Valley of Arts has traditionally showcased nearly every field of art during its ten-day run, including theater, literature, and visual arts, with close to 3,000 events each summer.
This year, for the first time, the Valley experience will extend beyond the three host villages, offering an even broader array of activities and programs for attendees to enjoy.
During the event, Budapest’s 2nd District will host its own 'courtyard', enhancing the festival’s vibrant atmosphere with contributions from partners such as Jurányi and Dante.
