Geordie Greep spent five years as guitarist and co-founder of Black Midi, the London avant-rock band that made some of the most formally adventurous music in British rock before dissolving in 2023. The band's sound was restless — it didn't sit still, didn't follow a template, didn't apologize for being difficult. It was the kind of thing that either grabbed you completely or left you cold. There was no middle ground.

With Black Midi gone, Greep has room to take that same energy somewhere else. His solo work is stranger, more personal, less bound by the shape of a band. The songs move differently. The production is darker. He's not trying to be Black Midi without the other members — he's doing something that wouldn't have existed inside that project.

Why Flucc Wanne

Flucc Wanne is Vienna's most reliable small venue for music that doesn't fit anywhere else. Underground, low-ceiling, the kind of place where the crowd actually cares about what's happening. No phone screens held up. No talking through the set. The people who come here came for a reason.

It's the right place for this. Greep's solo work is the kind of thing that needs a room where people are listening, not a festival stage where half the crowd is still deciding if they care. The intimacy matters.

On the Night

July 8 at 20:00. Tickets via Ticketmaster. The venue holds maybe 300 people on a good night. If you're interested, don't wait — shows like this sell out quietly.

Long Night of Museums 2026

Long Night of Museums 2026

When
3 October 2026

Vienna's annual museum marathon opens over 130 venues across the city for a single night, 6 PM to midnight on October 3. One €19 ticket covers most institutions — children under 12 enter free. The Kunsthistorisches Museum, National Library, and Leopold Museum offer English-language guided tours. Most museums add special programs: restoration demonstrations, workshops, performances, even VR experiences. Expect crowds (typically 150,000 people) but also an unusual atmosphere — the city's cultural weight becomes tangible when all these spaces stay open late and thousands move between them on foot. The ticket also works as a public transport pass from 5:30 PM to 12:30 AM the next morning.

Waves Vienna 2026 — Gürtel, October 1–3

When
1 October 2026 – 3 October 2026
Where
8th · Josefstadt

Waves Vienna runs October 1–3 across 11 stages along the Gürtel — the annual festival and conference for emerging international music. This year the UK is the Guest of Honour, bringing a concentrated showcase of British emerging acts alongside 100+ artists from across Europe and beyond. The format is the point: not a mainstream festival but a discovery machine. The bands playing Waves in October are the bands you'll be following in two years. The Gürtel venues (Chelsea, B72, and others in the U-Bahn arches) are exactly the right rooms for this. The conference runs alongside, covering everything from sync and AI to new voices from Central and Eastern Europe. Tickets and full programme via wavesvienna.com.

Miao Ying: Come, Sit, Stay — Belvedere 21, July 10–Oct 4

When
10 July 2026 – 4 October 2026
Where
3rd · Landstraße

Miao Ying is a Chinese artist working at the intersection of internet culture, artificial intelligence, and artistic authorship. Her exhibition Come, Sit, Stay opens at Belvedere 21 on July 10 and runs until October 4. The show doesn't argue against AI — it investigates what survives when the tool becomes indistinguishable from the maker. What does it mean to make art when machines can generate images, texts, and sounds on demand, and the gesture is no longer legible as human intent? The title — the commands you give a dog — carries the weight. Belvedere 21, in the 3rd, has become one of Vienna's most consistently interesting venues for international contemporary art since its reopening. This is Miao Ying's first major Austrian solo.
