The island will shake - in around a month (June 21-23, 2024), the largest open-air festival in Europe will once again take place in Vienna over three days - as always with free admission. The Krone knows who will be rocking the Danube Island Festival this year.

My heart beats like an island - that's the motto of the 41st Danube Island Festival. International acts and local artists and bands are set to make the audience's hearts beat faster again this year. This year, the Danube Island Festival audience can look forward to around 1000 national and international artists, 17 themed islands, 14 stages and 700 hours of program on the 4.5-kilometer-long festival grounds. This year's musical line-up is once again very impressive. This year's kick-off is the big inclusion concert on Friday, the first day of the festival, with The BossHoss unplugged Duo feat. Sascha and Alec, hosted by Paralympic swimmer and ORF presenter Andreas Onea.

Ambros plays on the island for the tenth time

The heart of the Danube Island Festival is the "Krone Area", where the Ö3 festival stage is also located. The large Wien Energie/radio fm4/Radio Wien/HITRADIO Ö3 festival stage will once again feature a colorful mix of music this year:

The main protagonists among the 1000 or so artists include Austropop legend Wolfgang Ambros & No. 1 vom Wienerwald. Incidentally, this will be their tenth time on the island. Also taking part is chart topper Christina Stürmer. It is possible that the two Austropop giants will perform a duet together. The fans would certainly be delighted...

Ronan Keating, Clueso, Provinz, Juju, Alice Merton and Wanda will also be there.

"With the Danube Island Festival, we have been celebrating strong cohesion and respectful cooperation in Vienna for over four decades now! We are delighted to be able to offer even more variety throughout the day with this year's expansion of the program," says Barbara Novak, Regional Party Secretary of the SPÖ Vienna. The costs for the Danube Island Festival 2023 amounted to around 6 million euros. Around a third of this was funded by the City of Vienna.
