Official account of Budapest's first queerfestival built on a DIY, nonprofit and underground idea, called Queeruption.  The festival showcases international bands like Razor Cunts (GER), Choral Hearse (GER), Robotra (A), and MDME SPKR (UK), and local bands like Eyes on U, The Matter,  Machabray, Veszélyes Faszfej, Plüssnapalm, and BOM. Besides the fantastic bands we're having special, never-heard-before DJ sets and programs, like movie screenings, workshops, exhibitions, an amateur drag show or a queer wedding. 

Dates: 31 May- 4 June

The Queeruption Festival embraces concerts, screenings, exhibitions and performances with the aim of clarifying the definition of queer. The word ’queer’ is used mostly as an umbrella term for LGBTQ people.
For the organizers, this term covers fluid, performative sexual orientation and gender identity. Queer identity is subject to permanently question and reinterpret itself. Plus, the term ’queer’ implies the intention to subvert the predefined norms and rules and goes hand in hand with a critical and sceptical attitude. Thus, it’s more than sexual orientation and gender identity: having queer identiy implies an alternative way of life, mentality and style resisting immutability. The term ’queer’ is constantly changing and transforming, volatilizing from our hands once we stick to precisely define it.
Thanks to the first Hungarian Queeruption Festival we can discuss together what it means to be queer in Hungary.
