The Bánkitó Festival is restarting with a new organizing team at the usual venue.

The Bánkitó Festival will return in 2027 with a new organizing team and branding, taking place from June 24-26 in Bánk. The first announced performer is the Elefánt band, with more acts to be revealed. The festival is being relaunched by the Arts for Rural Development Foundation, which acquired the brand in April 2026. It will feature performances at the Tószínpad and a stage at the former MÁV area, while theatrical shows are expected to be held at a new location, likely the Mettrin Center by the lake. The festival will also emphasize civil organizations and discussions on social issues, alongside a design competition and a wishlist for attendees.
