INOTA Focus: TURBINACSARNOK
Last year, shapes of the past and the future merged into an exceptionally original unity in the stunning grounds of the Inota thermal power plant. One of the highlights of our festival was the opening of the enormous Turbine Hall, towering over us, and the idea was already in the air: we have to shake this giant again.

Last year, shapes of the past and the future merged into an exceptionally original unity in the stunning grounds of the Inota thermal power plant. One of the highlights of our festival was the opening of the enormous Turbine Hall, towering over us, and the idea was already in the air: we have to shake this giant again.
In the summer of 2024, INOTA will not return as a festival but as dedicated concept events: for the first time, on 12 and 13 July, we will be back to the power plant site, bringing new wave techno and boundary-breaking electronics into the 6,000 square metre concrete monstrosity lined with glass bricks, where 50 years ago heavy turbines were still producing electricity. This time, the cooling towers are quietly supervising, most of the area is at rest, and our focus turns on the Turbine Hall, where we open the country's largest unofficial techno club for these two days.
Come with us!

INOTA POWER PLANT
The Inota thermal power plant was the largest industrial investment in Hungary in the 1950s, and at its peak, it could have provided street lighting and tram traffic for the whole of Budapest. Its three huge, illustrious cooling towers are not only familiar to anyone who drives to Lake Balaton from the capital, but it is also worth knowing that their novel water-cooled technology was a revolutionary innovation at the time, winning engineers László Heller and László Forgó the Grand Prix at the 1958 Brussels World Exhibition. It was thanks to Inota that these horn-shaped cooling towers soon became widespread throughout the world.
