This summer, VeszprémFest 2025 brings an exceptional lineup of international music icons to Hungary. From July 8 to 12, blues legends, Grammy-winning pop and rock stars, and genre-blending performers will take the stage in the beautiful História Garden of Veszprém.
The open-air venue, once an archbishop’s retreat, will once again transform into a hub of world-class music, hosting five consecutive nights of live performances—each night spotlighting a different musical genre and global star.
July 8 – Joe Bonamassa
A leading figure in modern blues, American guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa returns to Hungary. A child prodigy, he opened for B.B. King at age 12 and has since released 24 studio and live albums.
Known for his virtuosic guitar skills and signature fusion of traditional blues and rock, Bonamassa has collaborated with Beth Hart and was a member of the supergroup Black Country Communion. He’s a three-time Grammy nominee and a four-time Blues Music Award winner.
July 9 – Train
The Grammy-winning American rock band behind hits like Drops of Jupiter and Hey, Soul Sister takes the stage on the second night. With three Grammy Awards, multi-platinum albums, and billions of streams, Train is known for their catchy, emotional anthems and high-energy live shows.
July 10 – Beth Hart
One of the world’s most powerful blues-rock voices, Beth Hart delivers raw emotion and soulful depth. A three-time European Blues Awards winner, she has worked with legends like Jeff Beck, Slash, and Joe Bonamassa. Her signature blend of blues, rock, and soul is always an unforgettable experience.
July 11 – Pink Martini
This globe-trotting "little orchestra" blends jazz, classical, Latin, and pop influences, performing in 25 languages. Founded in 1994 by American pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini’s iconic debut single Sympathique (Je ne veux pas travailler) became a global hit. They've performed at major venues including the Walt Disney Concert Hall, MoMA, and the Oscars.
July 12 – Clean Bandit
Closing the festival is the British electro-pop group Clean Bandit, known for merging classical strings with electronic beats.
