Here's what's at Open Jazz Vienna 2025

Two stages for edition No. 2: After the Open Jazz Vienna festival played in the federal capital for the first time last year, the second act follows on November 20th over two days and at two locations, before the two-and-a-halfth act is set for June 2026.

Venues of Open Jazz Vienna

On November 20th and 21st, the living room of The Loft and the new Club Lucia will serve as venues for the festival, starting with "Meetups," free exchange and discussion rounds. This is followed by two concerts under the label "First Contact." Here, jazz greats like Golnar Shahyar or Oliver Potratz meet, who have never played together before.

And the club concert on November 21st with Tsombanis4 and Katatropic will also be traditionally unconventional. It kicks off with a "Walking Concert" with headphones and Viberqueen_DUO through the streets of Vienna.

What remains the same in the 2nd edition is the effort to present a lively and diverse platform for the local jazz scene. It is aimed not only at jazz fans but also at those who are yet to become one.

Outlook for June 2026

This also applies to the tranche scheduled for June 2026. Here, international jazz musicians will be presented as a complement to the local greats, to prove that jazz is a lively, cross-border art form.
