Being splashed with info (and music) about heatwaves has never been so hot!

Heat in the City – Hitzefest für eine lebenswerte Stadt

It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your cloths! Lyrical jokes aside, you know it, we know it, your naked chain smoking neighbour knows it – heatwaves are the worst when you’re in in the city. You know – those days when your sweat is dripping down so salty that you could use it in your pasta water. When it’s getting to this point, you know something is off.

So, if you’re wondering why heatwaves are becoming more and more common, and would also like to be musically entertained while getting educated, you’d better check out the Global2000’s very first Hitzefest. For the festival, they’ll be opening their newly-built Gräzloase, because, spoiler alert – the only thing that can sustainably cool down the city are trees and greens. Meanwhile, there will also be food – tasty food.

At the lovely Augustinplatz in the 7th district (where this soiree will be happening), you’ll find a stage, (practially) free drinks and snacks, extremely talented local musicians and well-informed speakers spreading all kinds of fascinating facts on the topic climate. This event, while being pleasureable, will help you make sense of the pain in the butt that is this blazing heat happening in the city, and also give you a chance to celebrate with like-minded people.

Insider info… Vienna Würstelstand’s Teresa Kuen will be hosting the moderation on the day! We’re sure she’ll put on a good show – she’s decently funny.
