László Földes Hobo celebrated his 80th birthday with an arena concert in Budapest in February this year. In the months that followed, he embarked on a national and international tour with his jubilee concert, Hobo 80, one of the stops of which will be the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj on Friday, December 19, at 7 pm.

László Földes Hobo is a singer, performer, songwriter and writer, one of the most iconic figures in Hungarian popular music and performing arts.
