Waves Vienna 2023: 100 new bands on ten stages

At the beginning of September, Waves Vienna will bring up to 15,000 music fans from all over the world to Vienna for the twelfth time. Around 100 bands will perform in well-known clubs on Gürtel area and at the Metropol, one of Vienna's oldest concert venue. Lectures, discussions and workshops at the Waves Vienna Music Conference in West Space - the former Vienna University of Economics and Business - complete the extensive programme. Also in 2023, the leitmotif of Waves Vienna is diversity: the diversity of the theme is reflected in the programming of the line-up as well as the conference.
