(MTI) - The "Hungarian Day of Song" was held two days before the festival kicks off in full swing on Wednesday, for the 15th straight year.
    Performers won over the crowd by singing each other's hit songs and the grand finale called to the same stage stars from different generations.
    The eight-hour concert was held at the initiative of singer, keyboardist and songwriter Gabor Presser.
    The list of performers included Ganxta Zolee, Beatrice, Europa Kiado, Kontroll Csoport, Sziami, KFT, Pal Utcai Fiuk, Peter Geszti, Laszlo Des, Zoran and many others.
    Tuesday's highlight will be UK heavy metal star Iron Maiden, which will put on "a revival of the eighties" show, recalling a tour made in 1984-85.
