Debrecen will host its first Debrecen Gentleman's Ride on 18 May. The stylish, elegant motorcycle parade aims to raise awareness of the importance of men's health. Inspired by the world-renowned Distinguished Gentleman's Ride event, the event is not only a motorcycle event, but also a social cause: participants will ride their bikes in elegant, classic attire to promote awareness of men's mental and physical health. Men's health issues, particularly prostate cancer and mental health challenges, are often taboo subjects. The Gentleman's Ride aims to raise awareness of these issues in a stylish and positive way, while creating a community experience for participants and spectators. On Sunday morning at 10.00 a.m., all participants are expected to arrive in front of the Debrecen Motodrom (50 Szoboszlói Road).The organisers also ask that participants wear elegant, classic attire. The bikers will ride spectacularly along Debrecen's frequented routes, stopping at Kossuth Square, where visitors can admire the vehicles and meet the participants.

After her sold-out 2024 tour, Jamaican-born, Ireland-raised Rebecca O'Connor will embark on a world tour in 2025, and has been invited to perform in Hungary. Simply The Best is more than a tribute show, it is a fitting tribute to the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Tina Turner. It's a celebration that combines nostalgia with vibrant energy to make the evening unforgettable. Rebecca's powerful singing voice, similar to Tina's, and her captivating impulsive stage presence stunned Tina Turner herself. She's the one who certainly knows how to keep an audience engaged and entertained for two hours with Tina's greatest hits. Get ready for the experience as Rebecca, with her live band and dancers, performs Tina Turner's greatest hits to perfection, including Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary, River Deep, Private Dancer, When the Heartache Is Over, Better Be Good to Me, and of course her anthem Simply the Best.
