A good weekend for jazz fans with deep pockets. The Pat Metheny trio plays the open air stage in Margaret Island, and the next night there's a Return to Forever concert (see Saturday). Info and tickets for Postman Pat here.
He's not very cool, but boy, can he play guitar!

VOLT (Music Festival), Sopron, 2nd - 5th July
Ok, so this isn't Budapest but with a month left until Sziget, it's a good time for music lovers to head north-west. Website here.

Philip Glass (Concert), MUPA, [map], 4th July, 19:30, 2200 - 5600 ft
The most dishevelled man in music brings four singers and an 8-man band, including himself, on keyboards. They interpret Leonard Cohen's Book of Longing: the fruits of his years as a monk in Tibet. At 71, Glass is a musical maverick who can't have that much left in the batteries. Info here.

Kávé és Koktél Fesztivál, Millenáris Park
A coffee and cocktail festival? What a good idea! Get drunk then sober up. Today it's vodka and gin day. Snail-paced website here.
