Sting concert in BudapestGordon Matthew Thomas Sumner will come to Budapest to have a concert on the last day of June 2011. I guess he is more famous as Sting, but Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner is his original name. Sting has been to Budapest several and his Budapest concerts always bring lots of people to town, so I guess it will do the same now.
The English artist Sting was born in 1951, which means that he will turn 60 years old in 2011. But, Sting is still going strong, and I guess everyone who comes to his Budapest concert will see and hear that.
The Sting concert will be arranged in Budapest Sportarena on June 30th, starting at 20.00.
