Joey Valence & Brae Return to Hungary – HYPERYOUTH Explodes in Budapest on May 29.
One of the most exciting and wildest duos on the international alternative hip-hop scene, Joey Valence & Brae (JVB for short), will play their first-ever headline show in Hungary as part of the HYPERYOUTH WORLD TOUR. The duo will perform at Dürer Kert on May 29, coming straight from their ongoing world tour, which BBC Radio 1 host Jack Saunders described as “the best live show I’ve seen in years.”
Originating from Pennsylvania, Joey Valence & Brae have grown into a true global phenomenon over the past four years, becoming one of the most energetic live acts in contemporary alternative hip-hop. Their third studio album, HYPERYOUTH, released under RCA Records, elevates the duo’s sound to a new level: a sample-heavy, maximalist sonic explosion fusing 90s hip-hop aesthetics, drum’n’bass pulses, and electronic music.
The record features guest appearances from JPEGMAFIA, Rebecca Black, and TiaCorine, and every track was written and produced by Joey himself from start to finish in his bedroom in State College. HYPERYOUTH delivers a message that is mature yet youthful — “growing up without getting old” — while preserving the raw energy and humor of the duo’s early hits.
JVB has previously collaborated with artists such as Danny Brown, Z-Trip, and Ayesha Erotica on the NO HANDS album and its Deluxe edition. Their debut album, PUNK TACTICS, whose title track went gold and received major critical acclaim, immediately put the duo on the musical map. Throughout recent years between album releases, they have worked with artists like IDK, Pendulum, 6ix, ACRAZE, and Apashe, while their songs have appeared worldwide in commercials, video games (such as Madden NFL 26, WWE 2025, MLB: The Show 24), and TV shows (Abbott Elementary, Cobra Kai, Based on a True Story).
The first leg of the HYPERYOUTH WORLD TOUR sold out across North America and the United Kingdom and exploded stages at festivals such as Gov Ball, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza (Chicago, Paris, Berlin) — and this past summer, thousands were nodding along to their beats at Sziget Festival. Now the time has come for Budapest to experience why critics call them “the most entertaining duo in hip-hop.” Joey Valence & Brae’s music is a time machine into the wild freedom of 90s hip-hop while channeling the sound of the future — authentic, infectious, and totally unapologetic.
Good news for those ready to experience this freedom: on May 29 at Dürer Kert, you can. Tickets will first be available to members of the official fan club on November 12 from 10 AM, while registered Live Nation members can join the presale on November 12 from 12 PM.
