Ichiko Aoba
Across The Oceans Tour 2026
The Japanese singer-songwriter Ichiko Aoba, who is also recognised as a music publisher and acclaimed film composer, creates enchanting, ambient folk-pop songs that explore the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Her latest album, Luminescent Creatures from 2025, is considered one of the year’s most celebrated releases. She debuted in 2010 with a collection of delicately arranged, airy and melancholic indie-folk songs featuring guitar and piano, before achieving her international breakthrough in 2020 with her seventh album, Windswept Adan, an ambient, pastoral and richly adorned work. Aoba’s peaceful, meditative and surreal soundscape delves into “the cosmic secrets of life”, and adds a truly unique hue to the contemporary music scene. It is no surprise that her most recent LP was so hotly anticipated. Her first concert in Hungary will be part of a two-year-long world tour.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
