Everything you need to do this week & weekend in Vienna

Big spring festival for the whole family

FRÜHLINGSWIRBEL

Parent alert! A kid-friendly festival is happening this week at the Rathaus. There are going to be creative stations, puppet and theatre acts, and even a cozy corner where you can enjoy the sandwich you’ve packed at home. So, grab that sandwich and don’t forget your kids.

Book talk about the peculiarities of our modern digital habits

#Words & Whiskey

Join Elias Hirschl as he discusses his latest novel ‘content’, while his audience listens with a glass in hand. In ‘content’, Hirschl’s protagonist is consumed by creating listicles—those engaging yet shallow online articles aimed at maximising clicks. From listing the 10 worst burger shops to the 11 reasons you’re still battling fruit flies, the novel satirises our obsession with trivial digital content.

Oh, and did we mention there will be a free welcome drink for every participant? Yeah, just use the code: Words&Whiskey. And keep in mind that the discussion will be held in German.

Come see talented people perform

BEST OF POETRY SLAM

This Wednesday, you’ll have the chance to hear top-rate poetry by seriously talented individuals at the Theater am Werk at Petersplatz. Only the reigning poetry slam champions will read their pieces at this event.

Rock 'n' Roll Wednesday

SUPERSUCKERS @ Chelsea

Catch the unstoppable Supersuckers, hailed by some as the greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll band in the world, as they hit the stage at Chelsea with their signature blend of raw Rock and a dash of Country. This is promising to be a high-energy performance packed with old classics, new hits, and undeniable coolness.

Drink, dance, network and flirt at this after work party

BÜROSCHLUSS im März! ❤

The Büroschluss party is back again this month! Grab your colleagues and head to the O club for some after-work drinks. You can even reserve a table to have dinner there, or if you’re just feeling a bit peckish after a long day at the office, you can enjoy their special ‘Büroschluss snacks’.

There’s potential for networking, dancing, eating, and flirting there. On four different areas, you can enjoy all kinds of music, from current hits to catchy 80s tunes.

Get up and dance!

März ICEBERG

The beloved Iceberg party is back in the grungy halls of the Arena. It is all about going nuts and having fun. It’s huge, unpretentious and offers dancefloors pumping out all kinds of tunes, from 80s to Alternative to New Wave and Indie and any other music that makes you want to get up and dance even if you don’t want to.

Howl with laughter at this Vienna-based American

Expat problems – English Comedy with Reginald Bärris

Sometimes being an expat is funny. Sometimes you’re laughing through tears. Reginald Bärris will be bringing you a night full of relatable comedy all about the hilarious and hilariously ridiculous experiences expats know all too well.

Party in your baggy jeans

90ies & 2000s Single Party

We don’t care what anybody else says: the music of the 90s and 2000s will never go out of fashion! That’s probably why 90s/00s themed parties enjoy such amazing popularity. Here’s another one for you this Saturday at The Loft, where you can flirt ‘old school’ and send signals on the dance floor via colour-coded bracelets (red for ‘Hands off’, yellow for ‘Let’s see’, and green for all singles).

 

As a real Wiener you have to love to hate!

Michael Buchinger – Ein bisschen Hass muss sein

Michi Buchinger returns with his second stage program and heats up his audience with new hatred. Peppered with personal anecdotes from his wild life, the comedian describes numerous little everyday situations that get on our nerves ever so often. You will most likely be astounded by the accuracy of Michi’s famous hate-list and laugh your face off at the same time. 

Better than therapy (according to people who love to sing)

Easter Sunday Karaoke Special @ FLUCC

Is there a better way to celebrate Easter than with a karaoke night? The party aficionados at FLUCC describe this event as ‘the ultimate climax to the current timeline, transporting you to biblical altered states on stage.’ Not sure about you, but our voices are ready.

Come listen to the best of the '90s!

Revival of the Good Old Times

Get ready to blast back to the ’90s this Sunday. Think Nirvana meets Backstreet Boys, plus a special detour to the disco era on the second floor.

Look at pretty eggs and get some tasty snacks

It's flea market o'clock

METAMarkt Flohmarkt

A flea market is twice the fun when it takes place in the right setting. And what would complement all those vintage items more than the industrial charm of an old factory building, right?
