Danube Island Festival 2025: Construction Work for Europe's Largest Open-Air Stage Has Started

The first container has arrived and the setup for the 42nd Danube Island Festival has officially begun. Under the motto "Your Island. Real Moments." 4.5 kilometers of Danube Island will transform into Europe's largest open-air stage by June 20 - with free admission.

Diligent Helpers Behind the Scenes of the Danube Island Festival 2025

Hundreds of employees and volunteers are now in action: They are setting up a total of 16 stages, unloading over 230 containers, laying 450 kilometers of cable, installing 250 speakers and 13 video walls - so that over 200 acts can rock the DIF stages on the weekend of June 20 to 22. A well-thought-out visitor guidance system with LED scrolling texts, announcements, and info points will ensure a smooth process this year as well.

Susanne Schicker, Chairwoman of the Vienna Cultural Service Association: "With the first container on the Danube Island, the anticipation is noticeably rising - it is the visible sign for the starting signal of the Danube Island Festival. This festival of the Viennese thrives on the cohesion of a well-coordinated Danube Island Festival family and the impressive commitment of all involved."
