Axel Rudi Pell
Axel Rudi Pell and his band will return to Budapest in the spring of 2026. The German guitar hero has been releasing new albums with clockwork precision for more than three decades, and on April 3, they will present their latest album, Ghost Town, at Dürer Kert.
Schedule
Axel Rudi Pell and his band are one of the most consistent representatives of classic heavy metal and melodic hard rock. The band has made a name for itself on the German scene with its neoclassical guitar riffs, epic, vocal-centered songs, and fantasy-themed lyrics. Their music is based on the traditions of the '70s and '80s, with mid-tempo, anthemic compositions and a distinctive Blackmore-inspired guitar sound.
For decades, the band's stable lineup has consisted of guitarist Axel Rudi Pell, singer Johnny Gioeli (also known from Hardline), keyboardist Ferdy Doernberg, bassist Volker Krawczak, and drummer Bobby Rondinelli. The gentlemen began recording in the fall, and although there is no official release date or title for the album yet, the spring release and tour schedule are already known, and the title of the release will likely be Ghost Town.
Dürer Kert
Dürer Kert, which moved from the City Park to the vicinity of Kopaszi Dam, is one of the hangouts of Budapest's surviving peripheral subcultures, but it's also worth visiting if you just want a perfect garden spot. That is, starting in spring. Until then, let's keep rockin'! And after that, too.
