As in previous years, the three-day event will offer not only musical experiences but also a wide range of public and intellectual programs, covering topics that matter to everyone – including current geopolitical challenges, demographic trends, migration, and immigration policy. 

MCC Feszt 2025 will feature several prominent English-speaking speakers. These include Matthew Goodwin, a British political scientist, and Dominic Cummings, a British political strategist and former advisor to Boris Johnson.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a writer and activist, will also be speaking at the event. Other international speakers include Jim Robb from NumbersUSA, and Jeremy Shapiro, an expert on foreign policy.

In addition to renowned international experts, prominent Hungarian speakers will also be present, including Zsolt Hernádi, CEO of the MOL Group; Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade; Mária Schmidt, Director General of the House of Terror Museum.

Also there will be Károly Mátrai, CEO of the MVM Group; Gábor Czepek, State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy; Katalin Valentinyi, Chief Corporate Communications and Government Relations Officer at Budapest Airport.

Plus you can hear from a world-renowned physicist Szabolcs Márka; Dr. Richárd Schwab, Gastroenterology Clinic Director, Internist; and Hungarian actress Franciska Törőcsik.

The evening atmosphere will be provided by some of the most popular performers in the Hungarian pop music scene. 

So what’s guaranteed? Intellectual enrichment during the day and carefree musical entertainment in the evening – all with a fantastic community feeling in a beautiful setting.

The full festival experience is once again available this year with the purchase of an MCC Feszt Pass. The pass includes entry to the MCC Island, access to the free festival shuttle between Esztergom train station and the event venue, use of the local beach bath, and even food and drink discounts for pass holders.
