Vienna’s Volksstimme Festival Celebrates 79 Years of Music and Activism
The 2025 Volksstimme Festival concluded another successful year at Vienna's Jesuitenwiese meadow. Over two days at the end of August, thousands gathered for music, discussions, and cultural events. The festival, now in its 79th year, has grown into one of the city's most diverse and well-attended gatherings.
The event took place on August 30 and 31, offering concerts across three stages, a children's programme, and a Solidarity Village. Organised by the communist-leaning magazine Volksstimme, it has long been a platform for left-wing perspectives and cultural exchange.
The 2025 edition confirmed the festival's enduring appeal, blending entertainment with political and cultural dialogue. With its mix of concerts, readings, and discussions, it remains a key event for Vienna's left-wing and artistic communities. Planning for the 80th anniversary in 2026 is already underway.
