During the long months of summer shutdown, dust colonised the CDJs, the neon bled out, and only the red eyes of the surveillance cameras remained awake - a faint sign that somewhere deep beneath the surface, the system was still breathing in standby. Now, current surges through the walls again. Rain pools like spilled oil across the streets. Advertising holograms stutter back to life above New Budapest, while the first signal from a drum machine crawls up from the basement, drawing in every techno freak previously condemned to exile in the sunshine.
A new season is booting up.

During the FÉNYERŐMŰ Family Days, from 20–22 August 2026, children and adults can immerse themselves together in creative workshops and collaborative activities

Hungary’s most spectacular light art exhibition space is opening its doors once again at the Inota Thermal Power Plant from 13–24 August. FÉNYERŐMŰ is not only a stunning visual experience, but also a unique opportunity to explore an extraordinary industrial setting.

The era of teasing is over — the news is true: on July 31, Intercell will arrive in the Hungarian capital at a fitting open-air location. Assisting them in bringing the event to life will be NVC, also known as co-founders of INOTA Festival, alongside the veteran Hungarian organizing collective Turbina, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.

The triple album — spanning the POP, CLUB, and experimental XPERI categories — is now available on all streaming platforms, featuring emerging Hungarian artists we’ll likely be hearing a lot more from in the future.

!TURBINA IS FREE AGAIN!

Finally, it’s happening: after a month of forced silence, the lights will come back on and the membranes will vibrate again at Turbina — stronger than ever!

It's been two years since we launched Budapest's most streamlined program offering site, Spots, which has been used by thousands of people as a compass day and night ever since.

The Italian composer, known for his cosmically heart-wrenching analog soundscapes - who was also one of the most memorable performers at the first INOTA Festival last year at the Várpalota power plant - announced the news on his Instagram the other day that she will be the number one curator of the music program in 2025 and 2026.

We continue to keep up with the selection, helping you filter out the best parties from the digital noise, with the help of the city's program offering site, Telekom Spots.
