Tribute to Janis Joplin, Várkert Bazár Budapest, 27 March
Although her life was tragically short – she lived just 27 years – Janis Joplin remains one of the most influential female artists in music history. Honouring this exceptional musical legacy, and the spirit of the blues, is the mission of Hungary’s Janis Joplin Tribute Band Hungary (formerly known as the Janis Joplin Memorial Band).

The group originally debuted in January 2003, marking what would have been the singer’s 60th birthday. After a long hiatus, the band returned to the stage in April 2025 under its current name, fronted by Zsuzsa Garda, who is often referred to by both critics and audiences as the “Hungarian Janis Joplin”.

The relaunch concert will feature a special guest appearance by Ildikó Keresztes, a long-time collaborator of the band.

Band members:
Zsuzsa Garda – vocals
Gábor Gilián – drums
János Lovas – guitar
Norbert Nagy – guitar
Ferenc Prohászka – bass guitar

Special guest:
Ildikó Keresztes – vocals
