Everything you need to do this weekend in Vienna

Listen to fine Viennese Indie tunes

Wien is ur oasch 4

You know what’s definitely not ‘oasch’ in Vienna? Its thriving indie/alternative music scene. You can see (or rather listen to) that for yourself this Friday at Szene Wien, where four talented bands (Gulauninger, Alpha Romeo & die Sommerreifen, Werckmeister, Sinuswelle and Bertram) will perform live for you.

By the way, there’s also a Spotify playlist you can check out if you wanna discover even more Viennese tunes.

A play about love affairs, plagiarism and workers rights

Toxic dreams: Chitty Chitty Brecht Brecht

Follow along on the journey of poet Bertolt Brecht from Berlin to Southern France. Brecht will never arrive at his destination in this story filled with workers rights protests, several love interests and a bunch of plagiarism scandals as his car is ultimately found up against a tree. But was it all how it seems?

Russian rap legend banned from Russia on world tour!

Oxxxymiron – World Tour

Russian rap legend Oxxxymiron is going on a world tour. The rapper is banned from performing in Russia for condemning the invasion of Ukraine and is now considered a foreign agent, even though he has a huge Russian fanbase. He will be performing from his most recent album ‘Beauty and Ugliness’ as well as some of his older favourites.

Go deep into deep disco, raw house & electro

PRST invites DEMUJA w/ Dj Hill & Giuseppe Leonardi

DEMUJA is a Salzburg-based DJ known for his deep disco, raw house & electro. He has acquired over 20 million streams across Youtube and Spotify. DJ HILL and GIUSEPPE LEONARDI from Vienna are joining him at PRST Club.

Mama will tell you to go to this party!

Anetha, UFO95 Live, Vel | Mama Told Ya

A techno party like no other – Anetha presents ‘Mama Told Ya’! Join the main floor for a night of electrifying beats and pulse-pounding rhythms from some of the hottest DJs in the game, including Anetha, UFO95 and Vel. And if that’s not enough for you, your standards are probably too high!!!

Welcome to a world where parties have no reason

PARTY OHNE GRUND

Who needs a reason to party when you’ve got PARTY OHNE GRUND? Join for an unforgettable night at PRATERSAUNA Wien where they’re keeping the tradition alive by bringing together the hottest techno DJs and an unbeatable atmosphere. From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll be swept up in the excitement and energy of a night without rules, without limits and without any particular reason to celebrate. So dance like nobody’s watching and party like there’s no tomorrow!

Everything comes together and turns into a party

O FRÜHLINGSFEST W/ MONKEY SAFARI

Get ready to experience the ultimate convergence of music and magic at OZ & Friends! With three floors of music to choose from, this is the day where everything comes together for an unforgettable night out. And we’re thrilled to welcome our special guests and friends, Monkey Safari, to light up the dance floor with their infectious beats and sunny vibes. With local artists from OZ Fridays rounding out the lineup, this is one event that will stimulate your mind, body and soul!

Pony party meets techno

BIRTHDAY RODEO

Giddy up, techno fans! It’s time to gallop your way to Petersplatz 1 for a night of electronic dance music and birthday shenanigans. Don’t worry if you missed out on the last one – they’re making up for lost time with an all-night techno party that’ll have you dancing until dawn. So dust off your dancing boots, grab your friends (and maybe a glittery outfit) and saddle up for an unforgettable birthday celebration!

Lose your mind at this Psy-Party

9 YRS PSYPERIENCE w/ BillX & LsDirty

Get ready for this event on Friday, celebrating the 9th anniversary of the so called Psyperience party. Some of the best DJs in the Psy-scene will be taking over the decks that night. But be careful, their music and the visuals are likely to get you feeling like you’re on some psychedelics and shit. In the worst case, you’ll wake up from your imaginary trip and realize that you’re dancing exactly like the other zombies around you. The best case would be you not even noticing how much you’ve been in your element.

Berlin club vibes in Vienna

Löwenzahn X Ponyhof

Do you just want to let go of everything, move to the beat and make friends with total strangers? Then what are you waiting for?! Head over to Ponyhof to have the best evening of your life. Go, now! The event is not taking place at the day you’re reading this? Whatever! Pack your sleeping bag and camp out front because you seriously don’t want to miss it! Better arrive early than never, right?

Go and Werk the dancefloor

WERKNACHT #11

Two floors of amazing Techno and House are calling you! They’re calling you to the beat so it sounds like ‘you. you. you. you. you.’ Can you hear it? Anti, Dimitar Georgiev and Luca Tresque will be doing their thing on the Laster Floor, while DJ Deadlift Riz Mo and ROL:E are taking care of the Luster Floor. Definitely get yourself over there if you’re in the mood for some serious dancing!

Enjoy drinks and a DJ with a cracking view

Friday’s DJ-Line // Chester Rush (Roadmusic)

One of the great things about Dachboden’s little Friday sessions is the high level of unpredictability that goes along with them. This can work both as casual after work drinks or a spiralling wild, out of control party night, where you find yourself in Volksgarten snogging a pole dancer at 2am. But how it goes is obviously left to the Gods discretion. Or your own.

Dance yourself back to the future at this free night of retro tunes

Back on the Dancefloor 80er, 90er, 00er

There are some who would argue (correctly) that music was at its finest back in the 80s and 90s. Perhaps we’re biased, but those synthesizers the size of a small factory and drum machines that required a PhD in computer programming produced a sound like no other. This free night promises the greatest hits of the 80s, 90s and 2000s. And their budget-friendly drink specials will have you dancing the robot in no time.

Stroll through the famous Easter market at the palace

Ostermarkt Schloss Schönbrunn

The famous Schönbrunn palace and its vast and beautiful garden area are hosting a bunch of market stands offering their handmade and crafted goods and other neat Easter stuff. But if you’re like us, you’ll be more interested in the wine and food on offer that you can consume in an idyllic setting with the palace as your majestic backdrop and the sun shining on your face (hopefully).

Better than your usual Grätzl

Soli-Party im Kostnix-Laden

Looking for a way to save the world and your wallet? Look no further than the Kostnix-Laden Soli-Party! Not only will your donations go towards keeping the Kostnix-Laden alive, but you can also score some free plants and seeds at the afternoon seed exchange. And at night, get ready to groove to the sounds of Demetrio Cecchitelli, Hubnutí Řízené Počítačem and Queer Nebula – a diverse mix of music that’ll make you want to dance your troubles away!

Visit a unique concert

Neromun

Ready for some smooth vibes and deep lyrics? Join Neromun on his ‘Blass – Tour 2023’ as he takes us on a journey through his latest album which captures his duality in the most beautiful way possible. With dreamy sounds and intuitive lyrics that dissolve boundaries of gender, class and origin, this tour is not to be missed. Plus, according to Neromun, he’s making R’n’B in German without it being cringy, so we’re definitely intrigued.

Get in the right mood at this party

FM4 pres. DIGITALISM (Extended Set)

Is that one guy at the office just getting you down? He just won’t stop telling everyone how amazing he is. Arggg!! We get it. It’s the weekend and you’re ready to blow off some steam. Get out to Grelle Forelle and blast your bad mood (and your ear drums) away with the banging beats these guys produce. Get a little taste here:

Dance with your heart

HERZFREQUENZ

This event isn’t called ‘heart rate’ for no reason. Its beats will make your pulse quicken and your body move. We checked the Austrian defibrillator map for you in case the hard techno and house beats cause you to suffer from heart fibrillation. Let’s just say you don’t want that to happen here because the next one is over 10 minutes away (by foot).

Anyways…let the music take control (in a good way, of course). Take enough breaks to catch your breath every once in a while and just don’t get heart fibrillation! Trust us on this one.

Get lost in the drum and the bass

Bass Cave – Drum and Bass /w L-Zetto & Paralumix

There will be some hallucinating going on at Fluc his weekend. Just sayin’. Go get completely lost in the beat at this party and maybe, just maybe, come out on the other side. You know what we mean. You know. Get yourself in a trance, here:

This party is buzzin'

WERKSTADT w/ FIST x VIOLENDGROOVE

Join the epic collaboration of Das Werk and FIST as they unite to bring you the ultimate party experience. Get ready to rage with loyal techno fans, industry friends and top local artists all under one roof. It’s all about unity, so brace yourself for an unforgettable night of non-stop beats, epic vibes, and one big lovefest on the dancefloor.

All you need is love, air and good music

LUFT & LIEBE w/ DOMINIK EULBERG

Dominik Eulberg has already performed in various locations all over the world. Now he’s coming to Vienna to play at everyone’s favourite sauna. We’re talking about the Pratersauna here, in case that wasn’t clear. So you can leave your towels at home.

Drum and Bass galore at the Flex

Switch! feat. Merikan, Primate, MC Longman

It’s getting bass heavy at the Flex this Saturday! Well, it sorta always does, but whatever. Merikan, Primate and MC Longman will join a great lineup of local DJs that all have one goal in common: to make you jump up and down and party hard as f***!!

Go off the grid for a night

OFF THE GRID w/ Rova (Freakadelle)

It’s probably a good idea to head to rhiz this Saturday because there you get to enjoy the awesome lineup of techno artists rhiz they’ve got waiting for you. Also a great opportunity let go of all the stress that’s been bothering you during the week for a while. Let go, we said! Let. GO! Ok, that got a little aggressive. Just do what you want. It’s fine.

Party with the most fabulous of them all

A 90s and noughties party to let loose at

90ies & 2000s & 2010s Club

When two become one, you get one extra awesome party in this case. This Saturday will see two of The Loft’s most beloved party series merging to give you a night of not just the best 90ies hits, but also some of the 00s most popular tunes. The perfect soundtrack to dance your ass off to!

Get your Hip Hop fix at this Saturday night party

Austrian local music meets international artists

SAMAYA

Hold onto your Lederhosen and Dirndl because SAMAYA is about to take you on a wild ride! This day event is better than Schnitzel and Strudel combined. With 3 floors and 12 DJs, you will be taken on a musical journey that will have you waltzing all the way home. The lineup is so good, it’ll make Mozart roll over in his grave. Just to list a couple of the acts: Alpha Tracks, SEDVS, KETEVAN, Ehrenschwesta, S.verin and many more… Get excited and (even more important) get your groove on!

Don't let the weekend drag at this drag-a-licious buffet with live performances

Queens Brunch at Villa Vida Cafe

While this event doesn’t feature a valet massaging your jaw to aid the mastication of your royal dinner (alas), the Queen’s Brunch at the Villa Vida is undoubtedly a heap of fun. Featuring Europe’s tastiest international drag and queer performers, you are being served a great dose of entertainment in addition to all the fine food and drinks. There’s gonna be a drag-a-licious all-you-can-eat buffet with vegan options available and all-you-can-drink ‘bottomless’ mimosas! So grab your tickets asap darling!

Get your tissues ready!

Lola Marsh • Wien • FLEX

Get ready to fall in love with the music of this 5 piece band which is taking the indie-pop world by storm! Singer Yael Shoshana Cohen and multi-instrumentalist Gil Landau are the main dynamic duo behind this captivating sound that’s as romantic, deep and colourful as the sun slowly setting over the Danube.

Their music is so good, it’ll make you forget about your ex and all your other problems (for at least one night), which is why we suggest you spend the evening there.

Oh and don’t forget to bring some tissues – their music is so beautiful, it might just make you cry.

Find your inner wild child at this 60s party

FREAK OUT! DER TRIP IN DIE 60’s & 70’s

Swing dancing on a Sunday? Hop aboard...
