Concerts and Electro Days in Vienna: Here are the Traffic Jams This Weekend

The event kicks off on Thursday, September 25, with German rap and pop musician Montez, who will perform with his "Arena Tour 2025" in Hall D of the Wiener Stadthalle. On Friday, the show "One Vision of Queen" featuring singer Marc Martel is on the program. From 7:30 PM, fans can look forward to a best-of of the greatest Queen hits - from "Bohemian Rhapsody" to "We Will Rock You" to "We Are the Champions". The concert weekend concludes on Sunday with a performance by German singer Ayliva.

Concerts cause congestion around Wiener Stadthalle

As experience shows, a large portion of concertgoers arrive by car, significant delays are expected on all concert days in the evening hours. Affected areas include the Neubaugürtel around Urban-Loritz-Platz, Hütteldorfer Straße, Märzstraße, Felberstraße, and the access roads to the two garages, as informed by ARBÖ.

The general short-term parking zone in Vienna is in effect from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM and limits parking duration to a maximum of two hours. Resident parking spaces around the Stadthalle, which are also valid on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, must be observed. Alternative parking options include the Märzparkgarage and the Stadthallengarage, where visitors can use an event flat rate of 10 euros. This is valid from two hours before the event starts until 2:00 AM. It is recommended to travel to the Stadthalle by public transport, which is easily accessible via the U6 (Burggasse-Stadthalle station), U3 (Schweglerstraße station), tram lines 6, 9, 18, and 49, as well as bus 48A.

5th Vienna Electric Days at Rathausplatz

Simultaneously, the 5th Vienna Electric Days will take place at Wiener Rathausplatz from Thursday to Sunday. The event is accessible with free entry and is open daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM (Thu-Sat, with music program until 9:00 PM) and on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Over 22 brands will present more than 50 vehicles, including innovative new models like the VW ID.7 Tourer, BMW i5 Touring, Hyundai Ioniq 6, or the all-electric Renault Scénic. The program is complemented by expert talks, consultations, and a varied stage program, such as the after-work series with Radio-Wien DJ Alex List.

A strong influx is expected, which could lead to delays, particularly on Universitätsring and Dr.-Karl-Renner-Ring. Access via the Ringstraße and the so-called 2er-Linie could be temporarily affected. ARBÖ recommends traveling by U2 (Rathaus station), U3 (Volkstheater), or trams 1, 2, D, and 71.
