Event Details
When does Nova Rock Festival 2027 take place?
The Nova Rock Festival runs from 10 to 12 June 2027 on the Pannonia Fields II near Nickelsdorf. Since 2005, this quiet corner of Burgenland has turned once a year into Austria's biggest stage for rock, metal, punk and alternative music, drawing around 200,000 fans per edition.
Where is Nickelsdorf and what is the festival site like?
The festival takes place on the Pannonia Fields II, a vast open plain in Burgenland close to the Hungarian and Slovak borders, just a short trip from Vienna. The site is famous for the huge wind turbines surrounding the flat landscape, giving the festival its distinctive backdrop. Fewer than 2,000 people live in Nickelsdorf itself, yet for three days each summer the area turns into one of the country's largest temporary towns.
