Schedule
Following his U.S. concert dates, Wednesday 13 - one of the most recognizable figures in horror rock - will be making an appearance in Europe this year with his tour titled “Cursed Blessings.” The musician, known by the nickname “The Duke of Spook,” will perform on December 5 in Budapest at Dürer Kert, accompanied by two special guests: Canadian dark synth-rock band The Birthday Massacre will co-headline, and Spanish industrial metal band Killus will open for them.
Wednesday 13’s career spans more than three decades, straddling the boundaries of horror punk, glam metal, and modern horror rock. He rose to fame as the frontman of Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 and Murderdolls, then embarked on a successful solo career, during which he blended horror-movie atmospheres with increasingly heavy metal and industrial influences. His spectacular concerts, featuring costume changes, video projections, and stage effects, evoke the world of classic horror films.
The other headliner of the evening, The Birthday Massacre, has been building its unique, dark-themed world for 25 years now, blending elements of synthwave, new wave, dark wave, and industrial. Thanks to the band’s atmospheric concerts and special connection with the audience, it has become one of the most influential names in the dark alternative scene. Ticket sales begin on June 5.

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.
