Geldof has been a longstanding supporter of the Hay Festival since it began in
1988. “At Hay, you meet the great writers, the people who think in our
world,” he said.
Geldof and his band played the opening night of Hay Festival Budapest at the
Pecsa Music Hall yesterday. The performance included songs from his latest
album, 2011’s How to Compose Popular Songs that Will Sell, as well as the
Boomtown Rats classics I Don’t Like Mondays and Banana Republic, an
impassioned attack on the Irish government of the day that Geldof first
played in Budapest in 1978.
