Best of Budapest & Hungary

After his powerful debut two years ago at Analog Music Hall, Des Rocs returns to Budapest to shake the stage of A38 Hajó with his rock and roll songs on October 18.

    Des Rocs- aka Danny Rocco- is a truly charismatic performer, the kind you simply can’t ignore once he steps on stage. And the moment he picks up an instrument, it’s clear that something exciting is about to happen. As a fourth-generation New York musician, he has set himself the mission of bringing back the golden age of rock. Since his debut, he has amassed more than half a billion streams and attracts over a million monthly listeners, making him one of the most exciting and innovative rock artists of his generation. He is known for his intense live performances, with numerous sold-out shows under his belt, and has taken the stage as a guest of iconic acts such as Muse, Bring Me the Horizon, The Cult, and The Rolling Stones. With a rapidly growing global fanbase of over 300,000 followers, Des Rocs continues to push boundaries in both sound and visual presentation.

    His music is built for stadiums and is regularly featured on broadcasts of the American sports network ESPN, including during the World Series in 2025. He has even been named a favorite artist by the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship. In addition to his own songs, he has written and produced for others as well, including “Break Free” by Zayn Malik, former member of One Direction. Recently, he also designed a custom guitar in collaboration with Aviator, inspired by Brian May and Prince. According to Guitar World, the model called “The Rocket” could be one of the wildest guitar builds of 2025.

    All this shows that Des Rocs is serious when it comes to music. Ticket sales for the October 18 show start on March 27 at Live Nation.
