Stoned Jesus & Wheel
As part of a co-headline tour, Stoned Jesus - one of the finest bands on the European psychedelic rock scene - will return to Budapest on March 26, 2026. The other main act of the Spring Equinox Tour will be Wheel, legends of the Finnish prog scene, who have also proven themselves in Budapest before.
Schedule
Stoned Jesus was founded by Igor Sydorenko in Kyiv in 2009. The Ukrainian trio’s second full-length album, Seven Thunders Roar, combined elements of doom, prog, and grunge in their own unmistakable way. Its centerpiece, the 13-minute “I’m the Mountain,” has now amassed 15 million views on YouTube.
Their next album, The Harvest, was described by critics as sounding like MASTODON, PORCUPINE TREE, and SOUNDGARDEN meeting on one record, and their charismatic live performances doubled - then tripled - their fanbase within just a few months.
Throughout their career they have played nearly 500 shows, toured across Europe and South America (twice), and shared festival stages with artists such as THE PRODIGY, GHOST, UNKLE, LIAM GALLAGHER, SLAYER, KORN, RAMMSTEIN, THE OFFSPRING, GOJIRA, BRING ME THE HORIZON, DREAM THEATER, and the legendary BLACK SABBATH. The trio was handpicked by the veterans of DEEP PURPLE as their direct support act for the band’s 2018 Kyiv concert, attended by 10,000 rock and metal fans.
While remaining an integral part of the European psychedelic rock scene - a scene they themselves helped popularize - the trio has never stopped pushing creative boundaries. Their newer songs draw
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.
