The "Klagenfurt Festival" will take place for the fifth time from May 23 to June 11, 2025. Not only musical strolls await, but also a colorful cultural program with a top-class line-up.

Weird Austropop lyrics to the immortal melodies of Queen: that's what Austrofred, "the Austrian answer to Freddie Mercury", offers. The "Klagenfurt Festival" will kick off with his "Walking Concert" on May 23, 2025 at Neuer Platz. The audience will walk with the artist across Neuer Platz in Klagenfurt, listening to the music through headphones. This warm-up program is followed by the official opening.

This year's program shines with music, literature and acting stars who will inspire the audience across the provincial capital. "I am delighted that the Klagenfurt Festival has been so well received by the public and that we can offer a particularly exciting program with many highlights this year," explains director Bernd Leipold-Mosser proudly.

This festival brings life to the city - the program is enthusiastically used by tourists and locals alike. This is how Klagenfurt has positioned itself as a city of culture. "The Klagenfurt Festival makes an essential contribution to this. The provincial capital can count itself lucky to be able to host this festival," emphasizes Mayor Christian Schieder.
