PROGRAMME
Throughout the festival, the music programme invites visitors, participants, and Vienna’s night owls to concerts and DJ sets. Here, artists and audiences, (hobby) dancers and teaching artists, performance discussions and collective musical experiences come together – somewhere between specialist chats, ecstatic dancing, and relaxed togetherness.
The musical heart of the festival is the ImPulsTanz Festival Lounge in the Burgtheater Vestibül. Each evening it opens its doors, offering a varied programme – from free DJ sets and live concerts by local bands to the popular FM4 nights.
Fridays are all about the long-standing collaboration with FM4 radio station, sending its hosts and DJs from the studio to the ImPulsTanz Festival Lounge.
Live’n’Local, on Thursdays, focuses on Austrian live acts, with a special emphasis on promising newcomers.
Wide-ranging, not always perfect, but all the more delightful: at ImPulsTanz on Decks, ImPulsTanz artists, partners and employees play their favourite tracks.
On two special evenings, the Soçial music programme broadens its scope, looking beyond musical boundaries with international acts. In recent years, we have danced to performances by Peaches, Mina & Bryte, Sicaria Sound, GNUČČI, FVLCRVM, UNIIQU3, Cecile Believe, Catnapp, Cody ChesnuTT, DJ Kormac, Amadinda Sound System, UCHE YARA, Ivo Dimchev, Wandl and DJ Peeps. In 2025, SOFI TUKKER, Aloe Blacc, Cassy, Anna Ullrich, Stefan Obermaier, Altroy Jerome and Urbs & Cutex set the Rathaus Arkadenhof alight.
