Early Bird Weekend Passes 2016 available now!
„In 2005 we awaited the first donaufestival after its repositioning with great excitement – but also a
good dose of anxiety. Whether the public and media would share our desire for a contemporary art
festival beyond all genre borders, between new art forms and pop culture, between underground and
radical sociopolitical motives, between performance and music was certainly not foreseeable back then.
The fact that today – with the announcement of the first artists and projects in my last edition as the
artistic director – we can look back on 12 years of a successful experiment in the form of a festival is an
occasion for great delight!
We tried to propagate and to live the path of the non-conformist, of otherness, and along the way we
were accompanied, encouraged, and supported in an incredible way by innumerable artists, by the
international and national media, and last but not least by a constantly growing, curious audience.“
(Tomas Zierhofer-Kin, donaufestival aristic director)
Starting already now, we offer super-reduced early bird weekend festival passes 72 EUR
