For Early Birds: Presale for the Brunner Wiesn Has Started

The Brunner Wiesn is being extended. As the organizers announced, the Oktoberfest at Campus 21 in Brunn am Gebirge is set to restart in 2026 and continue at least until 2028. From September 17 to October 3, 2026, the area will once again transform into a 30,000 square meter festival site. Around 150,000 visitors are expected.

Next year, the combination of traditional Wiesn culture and popular party music is set to fill Austria's largest festival tent once again. The opening act will feature Otto Waalkes, an icon of German-speaking humor, on stage. Other program highlights range from folk pop to rock and pop covers, as well as multi-part "Mallorca parties" with artists like Mickie Krause, Markus Becker, and Groove Coverage.

Plans for New Infrastructure from 2029

According to the organizers, discussions are already underway with the municipality of Brunn am Gebirge regarding long-term site development. A possible move to the opposite side of the current venue is being considered. Plans include noise protection measures and modernization of the infrastructure. The goal is to establish a festival beyond 2028 that combines "tradition, modernity, and joie de vivre."

Early Bird Discount for the Brunner Wiesn Until Year-End

Ticket pre-sales for the Brunner Wiesn 2026 have begun. An early bird discount of ten percent on all regular and VIP tickets is available until December 31, 2025. The latter includes, among other things, priority entry, reserved seating, and an extended culinary offering. Individual event days have been sold out weeks in advance in previous years.

Focus on Sustainability and Safety

The organizers are also relying on a proven sustainability concept in 2026. In addition to digital tickets and regional supply chains, the team recommends traveling by public transport. Safety is ensured through cooperation with police and rescue services, modern access controls, and an increased number of stewards.

Culinary Offer from Traditional to Vegan

The gastronomic offer is once again intended to bridge the gap between tradition and the present. From grilled chicken to vegan alternatives and regional wines, the organizers promise a wide selection of food and drinks.

Free Admission, but Seat Reservation Recommended

Admission to the festival grounds is free. Visitors can reserve seats in the tent in advance. The evening box office opens at the start of the festival operations. Concert tickets are available from 35 euros.
