NOX, the turbo-folk band which represented Hungary at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv, has released its first double DVD packed with live performances and music from Szilvi, Tomi and the rest of the crew.

NOX has enjoyed a great deal of success since the release of its first album in 2002, which went gold. Since their contest appearance which saw a respectable 12th place for Hungary, however, the band seem to be going from strength to strength. The album Ragyogás, released in April that year, topped the national charts for weeks, and had reached double platinum status by Christmas.

An 80-date tour in 2005 gave 250,000 fans the chance to see them live for the first time in a spectacular set featuring lighting shows and special effects. The first disc of the new double DVD features the 24 songs from this concert, while the second one contains interviews, background information, English and karaoke versions of some of the songs, along with other promotional material of interest to fans.
