Waves Vienna

Waves Vienna - Music Festival & Conference Waves Festival is the city’s first club- and showcase festival.

In autumn Vienna’s most significant clubs, unique off-locations, and the public space will merge into the site of the Waves Vienna Festival. FESTIVAL
Waves Festival’s motto is „East meets West“; numerous international alternative, electronic, rock, and club acts will be performing around Vienna’s 17th district. Additionally, local artists and sophisticated musicians from Eastern Europe form an ess

ential part of the festival’s programme. Every year Waves Festival will welcome two countries, one from the eastern and one frome the western part of Europe. True to the motto “East Meets West”, there will be a focus on acts from these countries in the live programme. The Waves Music Conference will furthermore devote a part of its programme to the respective music markets and scenes of these countries. CONFERENCE
The Waves Festival Music Conference constitutes a part of the festival and offers the possibility to attend lectures and panels and participate in workshops. The subject-specific programme will deal with the topic „East meets West“, which will serve as the basis and inspiration for many years of pan-European cooperation. FACTS & FIGURES

🌊 15 YEARS OF WAVES — THROUGH A PARTNER'S EYES

We dug this one up from last year's anniversary edition: Markus, Ticketmaster Austria, on melting points, fresh music — and the moment Thomas first pitched a festival with venues in every store on Praterstraße.

Some partners have been riding the wave from day one. Good news: they're back for round 16.
