Festivals in Austria
A
Alpicon House Music Festival
Alpicon is a deliberately house-focused counterpart to larger EDM ski festivals: two days of deep, disco, club and tech house spread across nine alpine locations.
multiple city-centre venuesArs Electronica Festival
Ars Electronica is Austria’s flagship festival for the meeting of digital culture and art.
B
Bass Mountain
Bass Mountain is a focused one-day alpine electronic format: skis are optional, but house, techno and DnB run through several mountain dancefloors.
Rotaxhalle Messe WelsBASSMENT Festival
BASSMENT concentrates a large international-and-local DnB bill into Wels’s Rotaxhalle. The second documented edition and its DJ-contest pathway show an emerging but genuinely recurring Upper Austrian bass festival.
BeatPatrol
This clears the recurrence threshold decisively. BeatPatrol is not a one-off 2026 relaunch and must sit in the separate national festival database, not under a city venue folder.
D
donaufestival
Held across two spring weekends in Krems, donaufestival is one of Austria's key meeting points for experimental music, electronic culture and interdisciplinary contemporary art.
DonauinselDonauinselfest
Donauinselfest is not a techno-only festival, but its scale and multi-day electronic infrastructure make it impossible to omit from an Austrian electronic-festival map.
E
Electric Love Festival
Electric Love Festival turns the Salzburgring into Austria’s largest dedicated electronic-festival setting: a racetrack-scale mainstage, specialist hard-dance and hardcore programming, bass and club-focused spaces, camping and a broad international EDM audience.
Sölden ski areaElectric Mountain Festival
Electric Mountain Festival is a high-altitude, destination-scale electronic week: lift-accessed main-stage sets pair with DJ parties distributed through Sölden’s ski terrain and nightlife.
Stadtpark Wiener NeustadtElectro Garten
Electro Garten brings a modest but real electronic-festival format to Wiener Neustadt: free outdoor DJ stages, a park-and-biotope setting and a locally rooted organiser team.
GrazElevate Festival
Elevate turns Graz into a compact circuit for adventurous electronic music: a cave club under the Schlossberg, concert halls, DIY rooms and public-space formats share a programme that moves from bass, techno and DJ culture to noise, contemporary composition and political discourse.
Tennis Event CenterElysium Electronic Music Festival
Elysium is a compact but clearly repeatable Vorarlberg techno festival: two designed indoor worlds move from big-room peak-time pressure to darker industrial/underground sets.
F
Flavourama
Salzburg hip-hop and house-dance festival with competition, workshops and club programming.
Green ParkFM4 Frequency Festival
Frequency is one of Austria’s broad summer festival institutions, but its current electronic offer is concrete: a purpose-labelled Electronic Green Stage, bass and drum & bass programming on the Infinity Nightstage, and artists such as Paul Kalkbrenner, Sub Focus and Camo & Krooked across the bill.
open-air groundsFree Tree Open Air
Free Tree is a grassroots rural festival with a clear electronic strand rather than a genre-pure rave: five stages mix live bands, DJs, workshops and camping culture, while DnB, techno, psytrance and electronic acts are repeated components of the bill.
G
Gabonsa Festival
Gabonsa turns an unconventional Innsbruck industrial-edge site into a purpose-built open-air dancefloor. Its second edition offers a credible local alternative across techno, house, trance and DnB, rather than a generic summer concert.
Bad GasteinGrand Lighthouse
Grand Lighthouse imports the intimate, design-conscious Lighthouse club-culture approach into Bad Gastein: a short January escape where resort spaces and mountain scenery host contemporary house, techno and leftfield DJ programming.

Paradies Garten Festival
Paradies Garten is the lower-Austrian counterweight to Austria’s large-scale EDM festivals: three carefully designed stages in a castle park, a club-literate line-up and a strong local-scene commitment.
Altes Hallenbad and ReichenfeldPoolbar Festival
Poolbar is a six-week Feldkirch culture festival where the architecture and visual-design programme is as visible as the music bill.
R
S
Shutdown Festival
Shutdown is Austria’s dedicated harder-styles counterpart to broad EDM festivals: a one-day concentration of raw hardstyle, hardcore, uptempo, Frenchcore and hard techno inside the visually unusual decommissioned Zwentendorf plant.
Mayrhofen and mountain venues in the Zillertal AlpsSnowbombing
Snowbombing makes Mayrhofen itself the festival site: daytime skiing and snowboarding give way to electronic sets in mountain huts, forest clearings, village venues and high-altitude stages.
KitzbühelSound|Escape Festival
Sound|Escape condenses Kitzbühel’s established alpine DJ ecosystem into a coherent boutique festival: sun-downers at high-altitude stages flow into club and bar sets in town.
steirischer herbst
Graz contemporary-arts festival with performance, visual art, discourse and music programming.
multiple venuesSTREAM Festival
STREAM is a civic, multi-room festival where Linz’s club ecosystem becomes the programme.

Unsafe+Sounds Festival
Unsafe+Sounds is Vienna’s focused meeting point for adventurous electronic listening: a city-wide September programme where ambient, computer-led and electroacoustic work meet performance, installation and club culture.
Festwiese FrauenhofenUrban Fields
Urban Fields brings club-oriented techno, DnB and melodic-house programming to a Waldviertel meadow: four stages, camping and a 60-plus artist bill balance regional performers with international bookings.
