„Pride on Tracks“: Festival of Diversity in the Vienna Gleis//Garten

To kick off the international Pride Month, which stands worldwide for equality and the rights of queer people, the Vienna Gleis//Garten invites you to a five-day cultural festival. Under the motto "Queer & Colorful," the grounds of the former Badner Bahn Remise become a space for encounter, expression, and political stance. "'Pride on Tracks' is far more than just a party," emphasizes Felix Bollen, managing director of Gleis//Garten. "With the multi-day event series, we want to set a sign of solidarity." The program ranges from drag shows to workshops to yoga sessions. All events are freely accessible.

Program Highlights at Vienna Gleis//Garten: Drag, Education, and Music

On June 4, the drag show "Drag me to the Music Station" opens the festival. The star guest is Pandora Nox, winner of the first season of "Drag Race Germany," accompanied by queer performers such as Philisha Conditioner and Rawcat.

On June 5, "Gleis//Verkehr" follows, an educational evening in cooperation with Aids Hilfe Wien. Moderated by DragQueen CandyLicious and the feminist collective Invulviert, a pub sex quiz conveys knowledge on queer health topics—entertaining and low-threshold.

Musically, it gets exciting on June 6 with the artist AYGYUL. The LGBTQ+ activist performs together with poet Pati Avish, bringing electronic sounds and political messages to the stage. The program is complemented by a queer yoga session on June 8, organized by "Colors of Yoga," open to all experience levels and against voluntary donation.

Enjoyment for a Good Cause at "Pride on Tracks"

Throughout the festival, there is an information stand with materials on LGBTQ+ topics, awareness offers, and free pride merchandise. In the spacious guest garden with around 250 seats, visitors can enjoy pride cocktails under wine pergolas and olive trees—50 percent of the proceeds go to a good cause.
