Esti Kornél, one of Hungary's most popular alternative rock bands, are preparing for one of the largest-scale concerts of their career. For the first time, the sextet will perform their well-known songs as part of a thematic programme created and narrated for the audience by Zoli Beck, the 30Y frontman. The plot unfolds through the different stages of a single night, providing an insight into the profundities of the human soul. In addition to the revised songs, the concept also includes a cinematic visual element.

Since their foundation in 2006, the band, who hail from the town of Mezőtúr, have continuously developed to achieve ever more impressive results, while their career has seen more and more sold-out shows in ever larger venues. Every ticket was snapped up for their performance in the Müpa Budapest Festival Theatre in 2017. Since then, their popularity has only grown, thanks in no small part to their 2018 record, their fifth and most successful so far. The themes of the superb Eltűnt idő (Lost Time) album begin with the teenage years, before the band tackles the typical problems of the university years and, with the passing of time, more general questions on the meaning of life. One of the most accomplished set of musicians in the Hungarian music scene helps Esti Kornél's emotion-based songs stand out from the field, while their musical style ranges from sweeping indie rock to sophisticated art rock on an expansive yet united scale. During this concert, with the help of some large-scale accompaniments (backed by iamyank's electronics and string and flute instruments), they will use the fictional story of the protagonist to explore human life in relation to emotion, ambition, strength, instincts, longing and the discovery of new things.
