Geszti Poptimist Show
This new show summarizes Geszti’s latest musical era: disco, funk, and rap meet positive energy, featuring new songs and era-defining hits in a spectacular, large-scale production.
Schedule
THE POPTIMIST is not a nostalgia night. Although the songs from Geszti’s upcoming album, titled POPTIMISTA, draw inspiration from the crisp disco and funky vibes of the seventies and eighties, the lyrics and the message are very much about the present. This musical world doesn’t look backward, but forward: it offers a liberating, danceable, communal experience in an era when we need it most.
At the heart of THE POPTIMIST SHOW are dance, liberation, and togetherness. Whether the audience joins in on the dance floor or from the seats, singing along, the evening becomes a shared experience. Geszti’s concert is simultaneously about the new tracks and the hits that defined generations—now delivered with a fresh sound and new momentum.
"For me, THE POPTIMIST is not just a concert title; it’s a decision. A decision that in this confusing, uncertain world, we don't close ourselves off, but rather open up to each other and toward positive thinking through the power of pop music. This show is about reclaiming—together, through music, dance, and humor—the energy that everyday life often tries to take from us." – Péter Geszti
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.
