The Pontiac
The Pontiac is a melodic rock band that started in 2017. That year, they released their first EP, Morning Rain, followed two years later by the album Are You Ready Now? They wrote their first material in English, switching to Hungarian in 2020, which also influenced the music. Of the songs in their mother tongue, Az wäre csak szép was the breakthrough, whether in terms of popularity on video-sharing sites or in the rotation of Petőfi radio. The band has toured as support acts for Margaret Island and Blahalouisiana, in addition to their festival appearances.
Schedule
In October 2021, they released their second (and first Hungarian-language) album, Jöhet velünk bárkit, and in early 2022, the band's frontman Barnabás Nagy was nominated for the Petőfi Music Award in the Male Artist of the Year category.
They took part in the Yettel Stage's talent support programme, which included the release of their song "Nur a csend van" (Only Silence Is), which was also featured on Petőfi Radio for several weeks and reached number 4 in the Hungarian charts. Also in the framework of the Yettel Stage project, they performed at the big concert in Szabadság Square in the company of Majka, Punnany Massif and Margaret Island.
In 2023, they opened Budapest Park as guests of Aurevoir. This spring, they released a new album, My Little Things from Home.
