Every night the music programme invites festival guests and visitors to concerts and DJ sets at the Festival Lounge and to the two big ImPulsTanz parties at Kasino am Schwarzenbergplatz. This is where the audience meets artists, dancers meet teachers, inspiring discussions meet a collective music experience and talking shop meets ecstatic dancing.
FESTIVAL LOUNGE
FM4 Fridays
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
Live’n’Local, on Thursdays, focuses on Austrian live acts, with a special emphasis on promising newcomers.
ImPulsTanz on Decks
Wide-ranging, not always perfect, but all the more delightful: at ImPulsTanz on Decks every Tuesday and Wednesday, ImPulsTanz artists, partners and employees play their favourite tracks.
PARTIES
Anything the ImPulsTanz Festival Lounge can do, the party nights can do even better. On two evenings the Soçial music programme broadens its spectrum to look beyond the musical horizon, presenting top international acts. Featured artists in recent years have included Peaches, Mina & Bryte, Sicaria Sound, GNUČČI, FVLCRVM, UNIIQU3, Cecile Believe, Catnapp, Cody ChesnuTT, DJ Kormac and LYZZA. In 2024, artists from the legendary Nyege Nyege Collective and live acts UCHE YARA, Ivo Dimchev, Wandl and DJ Peeps brought the crowd to a boil in the Rathaus Arkadenhof.
