In light of the events of the past few days, we believe it is important to clarify several facts and misunderstandings. Turbina is not a “drug venue”. No drugs were found at Turbina, and no arrests were made inside Turbina. This is confirmed by the fact that during the surveillance conducted by the authorities, no […]

On the morning of March 4, authorities ordered the closure of Turbina Cultural Center for one month, citing a simple verbal report. This is yet another blow to the Budapest scene that so many of us have been passionately building, often against the odds. In February, the police monitored the venue for several weeks as […]

Dear Turbina community! The enjoyment of music, a sense of belonging, and time spent together are fundamental human needs. Clubs, concert venues, and community spaces provide these. They offer safe meeting points, cultural experiences, personal connections, and livelihoods for tens of thousands of people nationwide. In recent times, certain official measures, raids, and public statements […]

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, a symbol of boundless freedom and transformative energy. On New Year’s Eve, we’re already summoning that force at Turbina: we’ll strap blazing kick drums onto the speakers, melt the chains of our comfort zones, and ride sparking into this new beginnings – […]

We love losing ourselves in the darkness of the main hall and the smoke of the club room – but halfway between the two, we’re especially fond of spending time in the bistro to the left of the entrance, at the top of the stairs (fun fact: during the daytime hours this is where the […]

“The night on this day does not simply grow dark – it devours the reality we know. Tribes of a distant, unborn future awaken, as the two dance floors merge into a single otherworldly rite. Guiding the ritual are international rising forces of new wave trance and hypnotic techno, Audrey Danza and Innersha. We count […]

When night falls, we transform. Turbina turns into a techno club – and of course house, trance, acid, nu rave, but above all it’s electronic music that fills our spaces until morning. Inside the walls, the energy shifts: more free, more intense, more collective. And that brings to life a few fundamentals we all follow […]

For four years, we’ve been rustling the leaves, riding the waves, and enthusiastically turning the blades of the culture-plasma-generator here in the heart of district eight. And the blades are not stopping: by the end of december, we’ll fill the house with more than 200 events, including countless concerts—from old-school and new-wave rap to psychedelic […]

Tbilisi, Georgia, is the techno-capital of Eastern Europe: subculturally reminiscent of the enthusiastic Berlin of the 90s, its Bassiani club has become a symbol of freedom and resistance in the post-Soviet region – especially after the rave cave under the football stadium was raided by machine-gun-wielding police seven years ago. The local young people reacted […]

The Turbina is the first cultural centre in Hungary to build a regular series of events around the Kurzgesagt episodes, creating a new format for the collaborative exploration of scientific, philosophical and social issues. Although Kurzgesagt is known worldwide and reaches millions on YouTube, the consumption of the videos is typically an individual experience – […]

We were deeply shocked to learn of the announcement by the Józsefváros Municipality, which foresees the restriction of the operation of our Great Hall. The decision is based on a single, unilaterally carried out measurement, which is considered irregular, without giving us the opportunity to present our point of view or to clarify any concerns […]
