Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The full 2027 artist line-up will be published when advance sales open on 1 December 2026. In previous years the festival presented around two dozen events in Vienna plus extra concerts in other regions. Typical formats include an opening gala, club and concert nights, silent-film matinées, workshops and a closing evening. Styles range from tango and Balkan music to jazz, improvisation, pop, chanson and alpine harmonica.
Evening concerts usually start at 19:30; matinées and workshops take place in the morning or afternoon. Venues change from night to night – always check the current schedule on the official website. Programme details for 2027 may still change until the line-up is fully confirmed.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Vienna
- Getting there: Vienna is well connected by rail (Wien Hauptbahnhof, Wien Westbahnhof) and Vienna Airport (CAT, S7, bus); use U-Bahn, tram and bus (Wiener Linien) between venues.
- Weather: February and March in Vienna are often cold, wet or windy – bring warm layers and sturdy shoes for walking between concert halls.
- Stay: Hotels and guesthouses in districts 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 sit close to many venues; book early, as the period overlaps with other cultural events.
- Check the schedule: Each concert has its own venue and start time – single tickets do not cover every night unless you buy a festival pass (if offered again in 2027).
- Box office: Popular nights can sell out; buying from 1 December 2026 is more reliable than waiting until the door.
