Top Electronic Music Stars to Play at Strand Festival in Hungary this Summer
Paul Kalkbrenner, Purple Disco Machine and Kruder & Dorfmeister will also perform at this year's Strand Festival in Zamárdi. The Lake Balaton event will be expanded to include Day Zero, and will run from August 20th to 23rd.

Electronic music star performers Paul Kalkbrenner, fellow German DJ Purple Disco Machine, and Austrian producer duo Kruder & Dorfmeister will all give concerts on Strand's zero day, in connection with the biggest fireworks display on Lake Balaton, the organizers announced.

As they wrote, Kalkbrenner, known from the film Berlin Calling, previously conquered the audience at Balaton Sound in Zamárdi. The indispensable figure of the disco and house genres, Purple Disco Machine (Tino Piontek), has been present in the world's hottest clubs and festivals with a whole series of unique soundscape hits for quite some time. The Viennese duo Kruder & Dorfmeister recently gave a sold-out concert at the Müpa.

The announcement mentioned that Zamárdi has been considered the capital of Balaton festivals for almost two decades. The Strand Festival, which started in 2013, closes the summer every year as a highlight event of MOL Nagyon Balaton.

The event attracts tens of thousands of tourists to the region. In addition to the musical offering, the festival provides other interesting programs, not least evoking the magical world of the circus.

On the three main stages and dozens of other venues, among others, Dzsúdló, Parno Graszt, Majka, Halott Pénz, Pogány Induló, Manuel, Valmar, Beton.Hofi, T.Danny, Bagossy Brothers Company, Carson Coma and Krúbi will take the stage.

LL Junior will be coming with a live show and this year, for the first time, Desh, who has achieved success as a co-writer of Azahriah in recent years, will be among the headliners.

    Festival season is hotting up in Hungary, so here's a guide to what's worth visiting for a one-off concert or a week long party in the open air. The biggie is always Sziget, this year with Billie Eilish and Sleaford Mods headlining, but it’s worth considering the more niche, boutique bashes like V4, SZIN, Katlan, OZORA, and the cultish Kolorádó in the Buda hills.
