Ei Arakawa-Nash: Cologne of the Maghreb (Bodyphilia Song) — Meyer Kainer
1st · Innere Stadt

Ei Arakawa-Nash: Cologne of the Maghreb (Bodyphilia Song) — Meyer Kainer

When
29 May 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
1st · Innere Stadt

Ei Arakawa-Nash works across performance, painting, and installation with a strong collaborative and bodily dimension. This show at Meyer*Kainer — one of Vienna's most serious commercial galleries — presents an LED installation extending Arakawa-Nash's experiments with performative electronic paintings. The gallery is understated, the work is genuinely interesting, and it's been running quietly since May. Meyer*Kainer is in the 1st, near the Naschmarkt end. Through July 31.

The Third Man at Burg Kino

The Third Man at Burg Kino

When
4 July 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
1st · Innere Stadt

Carol Reed's 1949 masterpiece has been screening at Burg Kino every single week since 1949 — the longest continuously running film in any cinema in the world. Not a revival. Not a special occasion. A permanent fixture. The film is Vienna: postwar rubble, sewers, shadows, a city divided into four occupation zones. Orson Welles as Harry Lime. Joseph Cotten as the American writer who arrives to find his friend dead. Anton Karas on the zither. The Ferris wheel in the Prater. The final shot — a long straight road through autumn trees. Watching it here, in the city where it was filmed, in a cinema a short walk from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, is not something you can replicate anywhere else. The print is the original English version. Sundays at Burg Kino; Tuesdays with German subtitles. €10.50 per ticket.

Beat the Silence on Tour — Wien, Flucc, July 2026
2nd · Leopoldstadt

Beat the Silence on Tour — Wien, Flucc, July 2026

When
1 July 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
2nd · Leopoldstadt

Beat the Silence is an Austrian band releasing their debut at Flucc in Vienna this July. The show is part of a tour organized with mica – music austria, the country's music information and support organization, which signals a project that's being taken seriously by the industry without the mainstream machinery behind it. Flucc sits on Praterstraße in the 2nd district and is one of Vienna's most reliable venues for emerging Austrian music. The room is small, the sound is good, and the crowd is there because they actually want to be — not because they're performing a scene. That matters. The mica partnership is worth noting. It means there's real infrastructure behind this: a network of people who work with emerging artists because they believe the work deserves to exist. It's not a guarantee of anything, but it's a signal that someone has vetted the band and thought they were worth the support. If you're interested in what Austrian music is doing right now — not the polished export version, but the actual work happening in rooms like this — this is the kind of show that rewards showing up.

Kapitel Zwei Wine — 10-winery Vienna pop-up, end of July

Kapitel Zwei Wine — 10-winery Vienna pop-up, end of July

When
25 July 2026 – 31 July 2026

Chris Sciacca spent 25 years in corporate communications in New York before pivoting to viticulture. He completed a degree at IMC Krems in 2024 and now runs Kapitel Zwei Wine, an organic microwinery in the Kremstal growing French varietals rare to Austria — Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, Sémillon — aged in 55-litre Italian amphora. He's previously organized two consecutive pop-up wine bars in Paris with 27 Austrian wineries; the Vienna edition brings the format home. This July, Kapitel Zwei is hosting a free 10-winery pop-up in Vienna. Exact date and venue are still being finalized — contact chris@kapitelzwei.wine for details before the event.

Markterei Stadtheuriger — July program, Thu/Fri through July 31

Markterei Stadtheuriger — July program, Thu/Fri through July 31

When
1 July 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
9th · Alsergrund

The Markterei Stadtheuriger runs every Thursday and Friday through the end of July, 16:00–22:00, in the converted market hall on Severingasse 7 in the 9th. Each week brings a different winemaker pouring directly from the producer—no middleman, no markup. The setup is the point: a covered market hall that stays open rain or shine, rotating Streetfood specials, the Heuriger tradition stripped of the vineyard setting and planted in the city instead. You arrive at the end of the working day. The neighbourhood is there. Wine comes in glasses, not performances. It's the format at its best—summer evenings, open bottles, the producer in the room explaining what they've made. The Markterei itself is one of Vienna's better event spaces: a real former market building, not a retrofitted warehouse, with the bones of its original purpose still visible. The courtyard fills easily, the covered sections keep the weather out, and the whole thing moves at the pace of a Heuriger—slow, indifferent to urgency, exactly the rhythm you want on a Thursday night. Free entry. Wine by the glass. The food changes weekly. This is peak season for the format. July is when the Stadtheuriger earns its place in the calendar. Go early if you want to sit. Go late if you want to move.

Entangled: Seven Artists from Yale School of Art — Galerie Kandlhofer, June 25–July 31
4th · Wieden

Entangled: Seven Artists from Yale School of Art — Galerie Kandlhofer, June 25–July 31

When
25 June 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
4th · Wieden

Galerie Kandlhofer on Brucknerstraße in the 4th has a show of seven Yale School of Art MFA graduates, curated by Hector Hollein. The artists are Amy Chasse, Yuna Cho, Ambrose Rhapsody Murray, Leyla Tonak, Yuwei Tu, Alixe Turner, and Faye Wei Wei. It's one of those shows that lands because of who's behind it — Hollein is the son of Hans Hollein, one of Austria's most important architects, and Kandlhofer is one of Vienna's most internationally connected commercial galleries. So this isn't a small-scale artist residency show. It's a specific transatlantic proposition: American art school rigour meeting Vienna's gallery infrastructure. The work is contemporary — no particular unified aesthetic across the seven, but that's the point. Each artist brings their own language. The gallery space itself is clean and serious, the kind of place where you can actually see what's on the walls without competing with the venue's personality. It runs through July 31. Open Tuesday to Friday, 11–18h. Free entry. If you're in the 4th and haven't been to Kandlhofer, this is a solid reason to walk up Brucknerstraße and find out what they're doing.

Altroché — Italian micro-bakery pop-up, Neustiftgasse, the 7th
7th · Neubau

Altroché — Italian micro-bakery pop-up, Neustiftgasse, the 7th

When
17 June 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
7th · Neubau

Francesco Fusaro, an Italian baker committed to sourdough and handcraft, has opened Altroché as a pop-up on Neustiftgasse 81 in the 7th. The range is proper Italian bakery: vegan cornetti, Bari-style focaccia, pizza slices, sourdough bread — all made on fermentation principles by one person. The 7th has no shortage of cafés, but a serious micro-bakery run on sourdough discipline is different. Fusaro plans a permanent Vienna location after the pop-up closes at the end of July. Open now through July 31.

FUTURAMA°LAB: Casa [Senza] Alberi — Otto Wagner Areal, opens June 10

FUTURAMA°LAB: Casa [Senza] Alberi — Otto Wagner Areal, opens June 10

When
10 June 2026 – 31 July 2026
Where
14th · Penzing

Casa [Senza] Alberi — A Treehouse with[out] Trees, A Bird's Nest with[out] Birds — opens at Pavillon 21 on the Otto Wagner Areal on June 10. Rainer Prohaska, FUTURAMA°LAB, and Kollektiv Kaorle have built a walkable installation from reused materials: fantastical structures between treehouse, bird's nest, and architectural sculpture that invite you to climb, sit, and move through them. The work explores communal living, building, and how we appropriate and inhabit space — questions that feel urgent when the city itself is changing. The Otto Wagner Areal is the right setting. The complex — a former psychiatric hospital designed by Otto Wagner in 1907 — remains one of Vienna's most extraordinary places: a sprawl of pavilions and gardens in the 14th that feels apart from the city's rhythm. Free entry to the park. The installation runs through July 31.

Eun-Me Ahn: Post-Orientalist Express — ImPulsTanz @ Burgtheater

Eun-Me Ahn: Post-Orientalist Express — ImPulsTanz @ Burgtheater

When
30 July 2026 – 1 August 2026
Where
1st · Innere Stadt

South Korea's most influential choreographer, Eun-Me Ahn, makes her Vienna debut with *Post-Orientalist Express* — an internationally celebrated work that blends opulent imagery, K-pop energy, and futuristic club aesthetics. Described as the "Pina Bausch of Asia," Ahn has designed over 90 costumes for her ensemble, creating a visual and kinetic spectacle that moves between ritual, Western and inner-Asian Orientalisms, and avant-garde performance. This is a rare Vienna first — an artist who has been working for decades and is only now appearing here. ImPulsTanz has put South Korea in the spotlight this year with support from Korea Kulturzentrum Wien. Performances July 30 at 21:00 and August 1 at 19:00 at Burgtheater. Tickets via impulstanz.com.

Eun-Me Ahn: Post-Orientalist Express — ImPulsTanz, Burgtheater, July 30–Aug 1
1st · Innere Stadt

Eun-Me Ahn: Post-Orientalist Express — ImPulsTanz, Burgtheater, July 30–Aug 1

When
30 July 2026 – 1 August 2026
Where
1st · Innere Stadt

Eun-Me Ahn — South Korea's most influential choreographer — brings her Vienna debut to the Burgtheater for ImPulsTanz, July 30–August 1. Post-Orientalist Express, which premiered in May 2025 to international acclaim, is a choreographic deconstruction of Orientalist imagery and its relationship to Korean identity. The work is funny, political, and formally precise in equal measure. This is the centrepiece of ImPulsTanz 2026's Korea focus, and it fills large spaces without losing intimacy. Tickets via impulstanz.com.

Isle of Summer Vienna — electronic festival, Donauinsel, August 1
22nd · Donaustadt

Isle of Summer Vienna — electronic festival, Donauinsel, August 1

When
1 August 2026
Where
22nd · Donaustadt

Isle of Summer is Vienna's new electronic open-air festival, taking over the Donauinsel on August 1 from 11:00 to 23:00. It's a serious lineup across four stages — 30+ international artists including Ben Böhmer (live), CamelPhat, Deborah de Luca, Eric Prydz, I Hate Models, Kobosil, and WhoMadeWho. The programming spans melodic techno, hard techno, and trance, so there's range within the sound. The festival is located on the southern section of the Donauinsel, near the Brigittenauer Brücke, south of the Georg Danzer Steg — a specific footprint, not the main Donauinselfest territory. This is the Vienna debut of the Isle of Summer format (the main festival runs in Munich). The combination of a serious electronic lineup and the Danube Island setting in the height of summer is the angle. The space and the season matter as much as the music. Tickets are available now via isleofsummer.at. Check the site for current pricing.

Paradies Garten Festival 2026 — Schloss Prugg, July 31–Aug 2

Paradies Garten Festival 2026 — Schloss Prugg, July 31–Aug 2

When
31 July 2026 – 2 August 2026

Paradies Garten returns to Schloss Prugg in Bruck an der Leitha — forty minutes from Vienna by train — for its fourth edition, July 31 through August 2. The festival runs 15:00–23:00 each day, 18+. The concept here is the setting itself. A baroque castle and its gardens become the festival space, with stages designed into the landscape, intimate corners woven through the grounds, and immersive experiences that reward wandering rather than stage-camping. The programme moves with intention from sunlit afternoons into long summer nights. The electronic music lineup is serious — Fritz Kalkbrenner, Shy FX, Chloé Caillet, Ryan Elliott, Kapote B2B Gee Lane — but the angle isn't just the names. It's that this festival understands the difference between a music event and a setting worth being in. Schloss Prugg itself is the draw. The castle and its gardens don't feel like a venue dressed up for the weekend — they feel like the thing itself. That's harder to do than it sounds. Most festivals happen *at* a location. This one happens *in* one. Tickets are €79.99–89.99 via rausgegangen.de. The train from Wien Hauptbahnhof to Bruck an der Leitha takes about 40 minutes, and the castle is reachable from the station. If you've been to Paradies Garten before, you know what to expect — a genuinely beautiful setting and a programme that doesn't waste it. If you haven't, the fourth edition is a reasonable place to start.
