A blend of indie rock, Latin folk, and world music in Budapest!
Brooklyn-based City of the Sun brings its unique, genre-spanning sound to Budapest’s Dürer Kert on September 14, 2026. The band’s instrumental, cinematic compositions blend elements of indie rock, Latin folk, blues, and world music, creating a unique, emotionally rich musical language that resonates with audiences across continents.
The band was founded by guitarist John Pita, with drummer Zach Para joining shortly after; bassist Matt Fasano and guitarist Marco Bolfelli later rounded out the lineup. City of the Sun’s music is both intimate and cinematic, as if we were stepping into a story told through sound.
Since the release of their 2016 album To The Sun and All the Cities in Between, their 2020 self-titled album, and their 2022 album Segunda Alma, the band has built a cult following worldwide. During their tours, they’ve shared the stage with acts such as Peter Bjorn and John and Thievery Corporation, while their music has filled concert halls in London, Paris, and Athens.
Their latest album, Under the Moon, opens a new chapter in the band’s history. Produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Built to Spill), the album’s sound blends melancholy, energy, and renewal. The songs feature elements of Western-style atmospheres, Mediterranean rhythms, desert rock, and disco-funk, while the band continues to preserve its signature instrumental storytelling.
City of the Sun’s concert promises a unique audiovisual journey for fans on September 14, 2026, at Dürer Kert. Guitar textures evoking desert landscapes, cinematic atmospheres, and sweeping rhythms create an experience that goes beyond a traditional concert.
