Everything you need to do this weekend in Vienna

The Vienna Shorts is an annual international film festival where you can catch short films galore at various cinemas around town. This year the festival will finally be in person again and take place in various locations. Be sure to check out the film program, as there’s plenty of quality stuff in there. Many of the films have actually been nominated for various film awards. Just sayin’.

One of the biggest events is happening this Saturday at the Pratersauna. It’s PSYPERIENCE and this time the DJ line-up might even beat the one from last time, with Technical Hitch and Babalosheadlining the night. The entire sauna will be open and that means pool time! So if you want to experience 14 hours of fun, dance and good music, you should 100% spend your afternoon/night there.

You really do need a good Techno party once in a while, it’s a must. This Friday, the folks from Techno Komet are organizing another edition of their big party series at the Ottakringer Brauerei. Not only will there be welcome shots, but also a big ass line-up that is looking bonkers. Even we’re not sure how to survive that night.

Let’s be real, the past year kinda’ really sucked, so why not travel back in time to when it all was a little easier? At this open air event at the Vienna City Beach Club the DJs take you on a journey aaaall the way back to the 2000s! Make sure to dress like you did back then to blend in and not reveal yourself as a time traveler.

This Friday, get your after work drink on at the legendary location of the Sofiensäle. In a great atmosphere, there will be delicious long drinks being served up to the sounds of a live DJ. This event is perfect to congratulate yourself and friends on surviving yet another day at work. You can even go with your co-workers (or your boss) in case you always wanted to see how much of a party animal they really are.

This Friday, they’ve got a bunch of DJ’s from the Berlin-based collective Hütte on the decks at Das Werk. And, if you’ve already been to one of these Salon Magika parties, you know how much fun they can be, with their open-minded atmosphere and killer tunes to dance to. Prepare for lots of bass and lots of booty shakin’.

On Saturday, the DJ duo Oberst & Buchner are putting on a show at the Praterstraße Club. Nine whole hours of Electronica, Techno and House – is there anything left to say? We don’t think so. But if you need more information, check out these epic sounds:

Cave, safe, wave, fave, shave – all these words rhyme with the one thing you should be doing this Friday and that is RAVE! Enjoy a carefree night with good music, chill people and nice drinks at the Loft. Don’t forget to bring your friends Dave and Mave!

Good to know… if you click attend the Facebook event, you’ll get free entry for the first fiteen minutes!

OZ stands for a place where you just live in the moment instead of constantly staring at your phone. And let’s be honest, why would you when you can instead dance to the tunes of the top-tier DJs performing right in front of you. On the decks this time is going to be Kölsch.

Join the carnage of this crazy party, as ROXY promises a serious amount of top quality Hip Hop every Friday. We would say be careful, or be on your best behaviour, but we know it’s probably going to be chaos, so you don’t really have to heed those calls for calm. Go nuts!

Sun-kissed skin and sweet cocktails are just a part of the program for this weekend’s Puppenhouse party. For the fifth run, the organisers will be hosting their party at the Vienna City Beach Club. The musical support will come from Floer, Billie Jean, Ipek Duman and Juliabel.

The talented DJ crew from Deep Baked will be setting up at USUS this Saturday for a kick ass day time party. And they’re damn excited about it as it’s an open air event. Also, they have organised a dope line-up to get you lovely people dancing in the sunshine. Oh, and did we already mention that there’s gonna be food as well?

It’s getting hotter and summer vibes will be coming to you at an all-time high in the 22nd district at Himmel und Wasser. Get ready for a tasty barbecue, cool drinks and a DJ line-up that’ll keep your ears busy from afternoon till the sun is setting. The venue’s folding chairs and hammocks await you and your friends.

Vienna’s got a new party hotspot for tropical flavoured beats! Afrobeat, Dancehall and a lot of fine Hip-Hop music will sound through the speakers of Club Titanic. Together with special guest Simplicity Sound ls. DJ Simplest, resident DJs Nuthin Daz & DJ Mykal will definitely make you bubble up on the dance floor like hot soup! 

It’s getting bass heavy at the Flex this Saturday! Well, it sorta always does, but whatever. Skantia and MC Longman from the UK and Woodlock from Belgium 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***!!

This afterparty of the Rudolfstanz Straßenfest 1150 is going to be one wiiiiild ride! Enjoy eight DJs spinning on the decks as they manoeuvre you into a bass heavy sea of beats on two floors. Check out one of them right here to get in the mood:

Every Saturday, the iconic U4 club will serve you with the finest House, RnB, Hip-Hop, retro and chart music. Not just on one but on two floors! And coming early pays off, as all cocktails will be just 5€ till midnight. So what are you waiting for!?

Every Saturday, you will be able to see the club crew rolling out their 90s disco night again. So get ready to go full Bloodhoundgang, Backstreet Boys and Falco – we are talking, tops off and swimming on the floor kind of style.

Few things this year have been as trendy as Hyperpop, and we love everything about it! If you’re into that sort experimental music as well, you should definitely check out this party at Celeste. Artists Radio Hito and Hyeji Nam are joining forces with a couple of talented DJs to bring you a night full of popping synths and dreamy autotune.

When a decade brings us Britney Spears, Hanson, AND Destiny’s Child, we have to give props where props are due. Vienna’s first 90ies Club is being hosted at The Loft and will be bringin’ on the 90’s hits every 2nd and 4th Saturday! Put on your chunky boots and grunge jeans – it’s time to party like it’s 1999!

Have you recently upped your break dancing game? Learned how to pop and lock last weekend? Ready to show off your new moves in public (where your dance moves definitely belong)? Then hit up the biggest and best-est (we’re being subjective here) Hip Hop party in Vienna at VIEiPEE and get ready to impress!

As former ‘The Voice’ contestant back in 2013 Tom Gregory quickly made a name for himself. Since then he has been blessing the ears of his listeners consistently with several succesful singles until he eventually released his long-awaited debut album last year. As part of his current tour he’ll be making a stop at WUK this Saturday. Maybe you wanna stop by there as well. Have a listen if you’re still unsure:

The thrift store, BeThrifty, is coming to town with a vintage kilo sale this weekend. What’s a vintage kilo sale, you ask? Well, that just means you can grab as many clothing items as you like, and instead of paying per piece, you pay per kilo. It’s that simple.

So if you wanna go home with a lot of clothes while only spending a few pretty pennies, we suggest you stick to the lighter stuff (yep, leave the big boots for some other sucker).

Have you ever secretly wondered what people write in their diaries? It’s ok, you can admit it; this is a safe space. On Sunday some brave individuals will be going on stage at TAG to read from their journals to a crowd of people who are just as nosy as you. It will be like being on a journey inside people’s minds!

This multidisciplinary art festival is offering up 5 months of events that embrace the culture and arts scene from a range of different angles.

In past years, some of the stuff in the program has been avant-garde to the point of being confusing, and some of the stuff caters to the age-old crowd that has been going to the festival for years. One thing is for sure –  you’ll always experience something new at the Wiener Festwochen.

You should check out the programme now if you’re into this sort of ‘tang.

With so many culture events taking place – be it exhibitions in museums, powerful plays on theatre stages, art shows that scratch that inspiration itch – getting your daily dose of culture in Vienna is easy-peasy.
