You can also admire the knowledge of several other famous stars at the Papp László Budapest Sports Arena during the show. To boost the excitement, the final list of performers will be announced by the organizers at a later date.

In the fascinating and unique production, the figure skaters are harping on the law of gravity, enriching the show with exciting and sometimes dangerous choreography.

Besides the elite of the figure skating you can also enjoy the great classics, like the music of Godfather, which gives a unique essence to the show.

The music of the ‘Kings On Ice’ was partly composed by Edvin Marton.

The show is organized by Danubius Music Productions Office and Art Anzix Theater.
