Meet Robbie Williams Up Close at Madame Tussauds Budapest
The legendary Robbie Williams has arrived in Budapest – not just for his spectacular concert, but as a stunning wax figure that brings you face-to-face with pop royalty. Foreign tourists visiting Budapest now have an extraordinary opportunity to get up close with one of Britain’s most beloved entertainers at Madame Tussauds Budapest, where the superstar’s lifelike figure is on display through November 2025.
A Star-Studded Addition to Budapest’s Cultural Scene
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for this celebrity arrival. Just two days before Williams electrified 20,000 fans at the MVM Dome on September 12th, his wax counterpart made its grand debut at the Cinema Café within Madame Tussauds Budapest. This marks the first time Robbie Williams appears in wax form in the Hungarian capital, though the British superstar has graced Budapest stages multiple times – from headlining Sziget Festival to selling out both Puskás Stadium and Papp László Sports Arena.
The figure arrived from Vienna with minimal fuss, requiring only a quick haircut and wardrobe adjustment before taking its place next to E.T. in the museum’s Cinema Café. The placement isn’t random – Williams has long been fascinated by paranormal phenomena and aliens, making him the perfect neighbor for the beloved extraterrestrial.
More Than Just a Photo Opportunity
Hungarian radio legend Csaba Abaházi, who unveiled the figure, perfectly captured Williams’ enduring appeal during the ceremony. “Back in the ’90s, we had an inside joke on the tour bus,” Abaházi recalled. “If someone was feeling down, the others would just ask, ‘Are you sad because Robbie left Take That?’ That shows how big of a star he already was back then.” He emphasized that while others may have better voices or songs, Williams became “one of the defining figures of pop music” through his innate star quality.
The unveiling also featured a remarkable guest – Gregus Vidor, a Hungarian fan who has been called on stage by Williams twice, once in 2003 and again in 2023. “Robbie was amazed that after two decades, he managed to spot the same person in a crowd of tens of thousands,” Vidor shared, hoping for a third encounter at the recent concert.
The Spectacular MVM Dome Concert Experience
September 12th proved why Robbie Williams remains one of the greatest live performers of our time. The MVM Dome transformed into a pop paradise as 20,000 devoted fans witnessed what critics are calling one of the most spectacular concerts of 2025. The “Britpop Tour 2025” show exceeded every expectation with a cinematic opening that saw Williams descend from the ceiling in a spacesuit costume while LED walls exploded with visual effects during the opening number “Rocket.”
The concert showcased Williams’ evolution as an entertainer, blending classic hits like “Let Me Entertain You,” “Feel,” “Angels,” and “Rock DJ” with new material from his “Better Man” biopic. The audience literally shook the Dome walls during “Rock DJ,” proving that Williams’ magnetic stage presence hasn’t diminished after three decades in the spotlight. His self-deprecating humor shone throughout, including his famous introduction: “My name is Robbie fucking Williams, this is my band, and this is my ass.”
Best deals of Budapest
Williams demonstrated remarkable emotional range, sharing intimate stories about his wife and children while acknowledging his ongoing battles with anxiety and self-doubt. The production featured state-of-the-art lighting, pyrotechnics, dancers, and a full live band that delivered flawless performances throughout the two-hour spectacle. The British support act, The Lottery Winners, warmed up the crowd with their infectious energy and authentic connection with the audience.
A Global Icon in Budapest’s Heart
Williams’ presence at Madame Tussauds Budapest reflects his truly international status. The 51-year-old entertainer already appears in wax form in London and Berlin, and his Budapest debut adds another prestigious location to his collection. His journey from Take That member to solo superstar is legendary – after leaving the boy band following five years and 25 million sold records, he achieved remarkable solo success, including a 2006 Guinness World Record for selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day.
Today, Williams continues creating, with his 13th studio album “Britpop” recently released and a London exhibition called “Radical Honesty” showcasing his artistic expression through paintings and sculptures. As a devoted family man with wife Ayda Field and their four children, he represents both the glamorous entertainer and the grounded individual that fans worldwide admire.
