The English speaking magazine. Making the most out of Vienna and life.

The city’s beloved free pop festival with a great view!

Popfest 2018

When: THU–SUN, July 26–29
Where: Various locations around Karlsplatz
Entry: free!

We always get excited when concerts and open-air happenings are taking place in the Resselpark of Karlsplatz! Nothing makes us more aware that we live in a hip urban city, than getting drunk and dancing wildly to concerts al fresco with beautiful Karlskirche in front of us. And our favourite three-day festival that has us doing exactly that is the poppety-Popfest! This festival is your first choice 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. Check the detailed programme for this year, here.

Recommended if you like: being at a festival in the middle of the city, getting drunk in front of a church, crazy summer fests in Vienna, Austrian pop music, lying on your back and enjoying the moment, meeting friendly faces with actual bodies attached to them, not returning into your apartment for three days in a row
