Pentatonix
The five members of Pentatonix have redefined the a cappella genre with their popular covers and original songs. Since their formation, the group has sold over 10 million albums, generated billions of streams, collected three Grammy Awards, and enchanted millions worldwide with their vocal talent and creativity. Just as they captivated Hungarian audiences in 2023, fans will once again have the chance to experience the group live, as Pentatonix kick off their spring tour on April 7 at the MVM Dome in Budapest.
Schedule
“We’re thrilled to be heading back on tour across Europe and the UK this Spring!” - Kirstin Maldonado of Pentatonix shares. “We can’t wait to reconnect with our fans overseas and share everything we’ve been working on. This show will be unlike anything we have done before and may even include some new music! It’s going to be a special experience that we are so excited to share together."
Pentatonix is one of the most innovative, creative, and distinctive vocal groups of all time, not only reviving but also redefining the a cappella genre. Over the years, the group has collaborated with stars like Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Lindsey Stirling. Their Christmas albums and tours have become consistent successes, and their brand-new holiday album, Christmas in the City, set to release on October 24, is expected to follow suit.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
