The city’s beloved free festival!

Popfest Wien 2017

When: THU–SUN, July 27–30
Where: Various locations around Karlsplatz (Find the schedule, here)
Entry: free!

We always get excited when concerts and open air happenings are taking place at Karlsplatz and this Friday here it comes! Nothing makes us realise more that we are living in a hip urban city with historic roots than getting drunk and dancing wild to pop concerts with the view of beautiful Karlskirche in front of us. And our favourite three day festival that has us doing that is the poppety Popfest!

This festival is the number one to be at if you want to get deep and intimate with the local music scene, with big to up-and-coming local bands taking to the stage every year.

Program: we’ve made a list for you of the must-see music acts at this year’s festival. Check them out, here
