Sting Budapest 2024

Budapest is always worth visiting, but if you need an additional excuse to visit Budapest in May 2024, Sting just gave you one. On the last day of the last spring month of 2024, Sting will perform in Budapest Sportarena.

Sting is visiting lots of cities in 2024, but, interestingly, he isn’t going to big cities in Western Europe such as Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, London, Munich, Amsterdam, or Brussels. Instead, he will visit lots of smaller cities in England and Germany, and then a bunch of cities in Eastern Europe such as Pilzen, Budapest, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Gdansk, Lodz, Tartu, and several others. If you want to be there as he comes to Budapest, this is a great chance to combine a fantastic weekend trip to Budapest with an even more awesome concert.

Did you know that the real name of Sting is Gordon Sumner? And did you know why people started to call him Sting?

Sting had a habit of wearing a black and yellow striped sweater during his time as a teacher. His bandmates in the jazz-rock group Last Exit thought he looked like a bee, and one day, the bandleader decided to call him “Sting.” The name remained with him, and thus, Gordon Sumner became famous with the artist name Sting.

Sting Budapest

Posted on March 1, 2011July 31, 2017 by Budapest Guide

Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner will come to Budapest to have a concert on the last day of June 2011. I guess he is more famous as Sting, but Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner is his original name. Sting has been to Budapest several and his Budapest concerts always bring lots of people to town, so I guess it will do the same now.

The English artist Sting was born in 1951, which means that he will turn 60 years old in 2011. But, Sting is still going strong, and I guess everyone who comes to his Budapest concert will see and hear that.

The Sting concert will be arranged in Budapest Sportarena on June 30th, starting at 20.00.
