Kovacs live in Budapest

Experience Kovacs live on November 27th

Kovacs is scheduled to perform at Barba Negra in Budapest, Hungary on November 27, 2026. The artist, originally from the Netherlands, is known for a distinctive musical style blending soul, blues, and jazz influences with electronic production. Her vocals are often described as powerful and emotive, drawing comparisons to artists like Etta James and Amy Winehouse. Kovacs gained international recognition with her 2014 single “Pay I’m Paid,” a cover of Billie Holiday’s song, and has since released multiple studio albums exploring themes of love, loss and independence.

Barba Negra is a prominent music venue located in the VIII district of Budapest, housed within a former factory complex. Established in 2011, it quickly became a significant hub for both local and international acts spanning diverse genres including rock, indie, electronic and world music. The venue features a large concert hall with a capacity of approximately 1500 people alongside a smaller club space. It's known for its industrial aesthetic – retaining elements of its original factory structure – and commitment to showcasing high-quality live performances. Barba Negra regularly hosts events beyond concerts, including club nights and art exhibitions.
