BOGENFEST | ZUG DRÃBER - DIVERSITY DRUNTER

Once again this year, the Bundesbahn music band will be giving a concert in front of the exhibition hall at 3 pm to kick off the Bogenfest.

Both are originally from Izmir, Turkey, and currently live in Vienna, Austria. They like to experiment and surprise with innovative sounds. Retro-future, avant-garde, experimental, synthwave - their music is beyond borders and labels.
