Downtown Festival

A new chapter begins in the history of KFT after forty-four years. On May 24, 2025, the legendary band will unveil its renewed lineup with a special open-air concert on Szabadság Square, where the audience will hear their biggest hits and rare gems live on stage.

Following the departure of András Laár, the band continues with fresh energy and new members, while staying true to the distinctive sound and spirit that have defined KFT for more than four decades. The concert setlist includes timeless classics such as Afrika, Balatoni nyár, Volvo, and Siker, pénz, along with a few rarely performed treasures for long-time fans.

The new permanent lineup includes guitarist Balambér Nedvig, known from the young Gorg & Benzol band. Vocal duties are now shared by András Szekeres (Junkies) and Gábor Leskovics (PUF, Kiscsillag). Several guest musicians will also join the performance: Krisztián “Qka” Szűcs (PUF), Zoltán Maróthy (Ossian, Fahrenheit, Kiss Forever Band), and Eszter Lengyelfi. The visual experience will be curated by Tamás Zádor (Kiégő Izzók), promising a night that is not only musically powerful but visually striking as well.

This event is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of transformation, as KFT’s legacy and future meet on one stage.
