Music festival

artacts has been opening the European jazz festival season in Tyrol for 25 years. This year's edition once again promises a refreshingly avant-garde repertoire.

At the Gabonsa Festival in Innsbruck, electro fans can really get their groove on. For three days, rousing house, techno and ambient beats from international DJs thump at the former landfill site in Rossau.

Good music and so close to the sky: the Wetterleuchten electronic festival on the Nordkette high above Innsbruck is very popular for good reason. Anyone who has ever danced up there won't forget it in a hurry.

• an event that aims to build bridges between people, cultures and cities

• historical venues
• Sounds from the Middle Ages to early classical music
• Operas, chamber concerts, workshop formats and discussions

• an evening with Gabalier & Friends
• Open air in the Kitzbühel tennis stadium with a view of the Tyrolean mountains

The Outreach Music Festival in Schwaz not only offers good jazz concerts, but also a genuine exchange of ideas. Here, music is played on an equal footing with top-class musicians from the scene.

• new music meets electronics, performance and unusual sound spaces
• Concerts in factory halls, churches, supermarkets or outdoors create unique listening experiences
