🥃 There are many things that make Góbéfest a unique festival, in addition to the unique acts you get to see on the stage. One of these things is that Góbéfest is the only festival in Manchester that has a Pálinka bar.
🍐So what is Pálinka? Pálinka is a strong traditional Hungarian spirit made of various types of fruit, such as plums, cherries, grapes, apples, pears, peaches...
🥃 This year we are thrilled to bring an exciting new brand of Pálinka to Góbéfest and we proudly introduce our new bar partner: Mihócsa Pálinka.
🇭🇺The brewery makes fragrant and delicious distillates using high-quality ripe fruit, sourcing raw materials from Kecskemét and the surrounding areas. Mihócsa Pálinka Manufaktúra

🥳We are super excited to present one of our headline acts from Hungary, the exuberant Magyar Banda, set to perform on Saturday 21st September.
🎻A band formed by the most renowned young musicians of the Hungarian folk music movement. Their production, inspired from overseas, puts Hungarian musical culture on stage in a youthful, trendy way, with artists who are mostly known from pop-rock festival stages.
🎼🪗The members of the band have lived for music since birth, their virtuoso knowledge of instruments and innovative arrangement of folk songs are what immediately draw the audience into their special world.
"Our intention is not to represent snapshots of the past, but to express ourselves in a modern way in the musical language we inherited from our old masters.”
