AWS
The AWS band is approaching the biggest milestone of its career: on November 14, 2026, it will celebrate its 20th anniversary with an arena concert. The evening will not just be a concert, but a comprehensive retrospective of their entire body of work—a once-in-a-lifetime, unrepeatable occasion where the band will bring every era of the past two decades to the stage.
Schedule
Formed in 2006 as a high school band, the group toured the country’s clubs, building their career step by step until they reached sold-out tours, solo concerts at Budapest Park, and the main stages of festivals. In 2018, the entire country—and Europe—took notice of them when they won the show A Dal, and then went on to represent Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest finals in Lisbon.
The 2026 anniversary arena concert will be a complete summary of this 20-year journey. The program will feature defining songs from the early club years, anthems from the era that brought the Eurovision victory, and the most successful songs from the rebirth following the loss—the Fonogram Award-winning album *Innen szép nyerni*.
A special feature of the evening is that the Madách concert material, which was successfully revived last year, will be seamlessly integrated into the body of work. The rearranged songs, previously performed in a traditional theater setting, now receive a new interpretation on the Arena stage—showcasing the full musical spectrum of AWS in a single evening, from acoustic moments to the heaviest metal sounds.
