Vienna is considered the world capital of classical music, known for composers such as Haydn, Schubert, and the Strauss dynasty. But Vienna also proves time and again that it can strike a very different note. Whether house, Austropop, or blues, there is a festival or concert to suit every taste . This weekend, our city will once again show its wilder side with Punk Rock Escalation, proving once again how multifaceted it is.
Through the night in the mosh pit
Punk Rock Escalation will be back in 2026 with a line-up in a class of its own. Six bands will be on stage for you for an entire evening, rocking the hall. This year’s lineup includes the Sporty Boys, So Much More, Unkraut, Horny Monkeys, Revoluzza, and I’m A Sloth. As soon as the first band takes the stage, you can be sure that no stone will be left unturned and the pit will erupt into pogo dancing. The artists will perform for you with passion and humor, delivering the best that the Austrian scene has to offer.
