Eagle-Eye Cherry brings Save Tonight to Budapest

Swedish singer-songwriter Eagle-Eye Cherry shot to international fame with the global hit Save Tonight, and his artistic journey has shown no signs of slowing down ever since. Following a period marked by self-doubt and uncertainty, he made a confident comeback with his 2023 album Back on Track. He continued that momentum with last year’s release, Become A Light, and has since returned to an active touring schedule. As part of his latest run of live shows, he will perform a headline club concert in Budapest at Akvárium Klub on November 23.

Born in Stockholm in 1968, Eagle-Eye Cherry is the son of artist Moki Cherry and legendary jazz musician Don Cherry. He grew up in the Scanian countryside alongside his sister, Neneh Cherry, before the family moved to New York. There, he attended the School of Performing Arts, played drums in several bands, and explored a career in acting. After the death of his father in 1995 and becoming disillusioned with acting, he returned to Sweden to focus entirely on music. His debut album, Desireless, was released in 1997 and featured the worldwide hit Save Tonight, which topped charts across Europe and reached No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Cherry followed up with Living in the Present Future (2000) and Sub Rosa (2003), spending years touring extensively around the world. After life on the road took its toll, he stepped away from touring in 2012 to regain balance in his personal life. He later returned with Can’t Get Enough, followed by Streets of You in 2018, which earned a nomination for Sweden’s prestigious Grammis Awards.

His 2023 album Back on Track was inspired by the challenges of the pandemic and a rekindled love for live music. Drawing inspiration from the energy of bands such as The Clash and Talking Heads, Cherry combined his signature songwriting with fresh arrangements and new lyrical perspectives. Last year, he continued this creative chapter with the release of Become A Light.

Now preparing for another world tour, Eagle-Eye Cherry is excited to reconnect with audiences across the globe – fans who have supported him throughout his career and continue to make every show a memorable experience. Hungarian fans have only had a handful of chances to see him live, most recently at the Harley-Davidson Festival three years ago and previously at Sziget Festival in 1999. Now, he’s finally returning for a headline show of his own: Eagle-Eye Cherry concert on November 23 at the Akvárium Klub. Tickets go on sale on July 3 at 11:00 AM via www.livenation.hu and www.funcode.hu.
