Growing up with Peter Gabriel
The acclaimed artist brings his elaborate stage show to Budapest Sport Arena

Peter Gabriel, it seems, still has some growing up to do. Following on the heels of his critically acclaimed 2003 “Growing Up” tour, the sonically adventurous artist is back on the road in 2004 with the aptly titled “Still Growing Up” tour, which sees Gabriel bring his elaborate stage show to the Budapest Sport Arena on Saturday, May 15.

The ambitious live show will run the gamut of Gabriel’s extensive song catalogue featuring classic tracks from his recently released Hit, a 2-CD greatest hits compilation that gathers together many of the best tracks from the former Genesis’ front-man’s storied solo career. Music from Gabriel’s 2003 offering Up, the long awaited solo-outing follow-up to 1992’s Us, will also feature prominently in the set.

Of course, for concert-goers seeking more than just music, Gabriel’s trademark theatrics have much to offer. While the initial dates of the “Growing Up” tour were based on a stage set that was minimalist by Gabriel’s lofty standards, the concerts quickly evolved into elaborate stage shows with no expense spared on the props. Amongst other things, the concerts feature Gabriel being suspended upside down over the stage, rolling about in a giant transparent ball, and riding a collapsible bicycle – did we mention he sings as well?

Peter Gabriel plays the Budapest Sport Arena on Saturday May 15. The concert is sponsored by Hungary’s Slager Radio and TV 2. Tickets for the show are still available from participating ticket outlets.
