THE BIG BASE BAND (THU)

DERO & KLUMZY -Full Live Band (FRI)

GNACKWATSCHN (FRI)

The next Gnackwatschn lands! For a good eight years, these passionate musicians have been rebelling with joie de vivre, dialect, backbone and an audible serenity against everything that should rub us the wrong way in the 21st century.

KEROSIN 95 (FRI)

STYRIAN FE:MALE SOUNDS 19 Kerosin makes socially critical noise and plays with the uncomfortable. Declarations of war on everyday sexism, a confrontation with prosperity and one's own privileges, and making queer* identities visible.

GRAZER ALL STAR BAND! DEBUT SHOW Members of The Incredible Staggers, Son of the Velvet Rat, The Jigsaw Beggars und The Sado Maso Guitar Club

WIPEOUT (FRI)

WARNQUADRAT (SAT)

Where do I come from, where am I going, is it really that late already, and above all: what now? Warnquadrat's lyrics raise questions, and yet you feel understood. The four lads from Graz with a strong leaning towards indie aesthetics have made it their mission to describe the world they live in.

MARINA & THE KATS (FRI)

Cirque De la Nuit Club Night

MR. HARVEY MILLER – Cirque de la Nuit / LIFEBALL (FRI)

Mr. Harvey Miller is co-founder of the internationally award-winning event series „Cirque de la Nuit“. There are DJs who are predictable. DJs who play the same forty tracks every time. Such DJs are a dime a dozen. And then there is Mr. Harvey Miller.

TROY SAVOY (FRI)

CIRQUE DE LA NUIT

ALPINE DWELLER (THU)

Album release show Magical sounds and atmospheric snapshots: the trio Alpine Dweller musically celebrates the here and now, offering experimental crossover compositions between classical, pop and spectral music.

LOVE GOD CHAOS (FRI)

ALBUM RELEASE SHOW The four are united by their euphoria, patience, energy, composure and a pronounced love of noise. The best prerequisites for a band that goes against the grain.

ANGER (THU)

Anger are Nora and Julian. If you didn't know the two are also a couple away from the music, you'd probably guess it from their dreamy pop songs and the striking number of mentions of love in them. „Liebe & Wut“ (Love & Rage) was the title of their first EP, which earned them acclaim last year.

FAUXPAS (SAT)

Fauxpas met in 2017 while studying music in Graz. It soon became clear they wanted to join forces. With 50% born in Upper Austria and the other half from Styria, it was obvious that standard High German lyrics were out of the question.

DIE NIACHTN (SAT)

10-year anniversary show

NOT INVOLVED (SAT)

STYRIAN FE:MALE SOUNDS 19

KOBRA KASINO (FRI)

If bands apparently no longer want to fit into a pigeonhole, why does the pigeonhole still have to be used to create musical order? Or to express just how utterly impossible it is to squeeze your own music into pre-catalogued boxes.

FLOWERS IN CONCRETE (THU)

20 Years „Aufrecht“ Re-Release „Twenty years on and not a bit quieter, but older and not wiser.“ That's how Flowers in Concrete describe themselves – a hardcore punk band from Weiz, born in 1993 and after, who emerged from the grindcore outfit Necrosis
