This fall, Nazareth returns to Budapest. The Bending the Rules tour marks one of the band’s greatest milestones — the 50th anniversary of their timeless hit Love Hurts, first performed by the Scottish rock legends in 1975. The band will take the stage at Dürer Kert on November 27. Nazareth belongs to the first generation of hard rock and heavy metal bands, alongside Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, and Deep Purple. Formed in 1968, the group still features founding member Pete Agnew, who continues to perform actively. Today, he is joined by his son Lee Agnew on drums, Jimmy Murrison on guitar, and Carl Sentance on vocals. With over 30 million albums sold, Nazareth remains one of Scotland’s most successful rock bands, alongside Simple Minds. Love Hurts was first performed as a power ballad 50 years ago, becoming the most popular rendition of the song originally written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant — and the only version to become a major hit in the United States. The recording topped the charts in Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, and Norway, where it stayed on the charts for 61 weeks, including 14 weeks at number one, making it the most successful single of all time in that country. On Spotify alone, the track has been streamed over 247 million times, with plays still increasing by nearly a million each week. The upcoming fall tour will celebrate this milestone, while also featuring other Nazareth classics such as Dream On, This Flight Tonight, and Hair of the Dog.
