Once again this year, the Bundesbahn music band will be giving a concert in front of the exhibition hall to kick off the Bogenfest. With traditional marches, brilliant fanfares, but also film music and, of course, a fast-paced railroad steam gallop, the band of the ÖBB, co-operator and user of the viaduct arches, performs its skills right on its doorstep, so to speak, and is once again looking forward to a mixed audience.

MAMBO KURT

What does Mambo Kurt do? A solo entertainer with a home organ plays and sings cover versions of songs that you would never expect to hear on a home organ.

The ever-popular, slightly crazy organ god interprets a fine compilation of true world hits on his beloved home organ.

  • 16:30-17:20

SINEM

Sinem conjures up the spirit of the she-punks and moves across the stage with lizard-like determination, as if her name were Iggy Türkpop. And this determination lives not only in every movement, but also in her singing. Anyone who has known Sinem for any length of time will have the feeling that this life has been lived so far so that exactly what is now running through our limbs takes place: Music! And as is the case with determination - it remains opaque for the longest time.

  • 17:40-18:30

VIECH

Experienced music journalists know that the band 'Viech' like to go from album to album. And so you can also look forward to new twists and unheard sounds on the 6th album - created in a full moon session. These include howls of laughter, wolf howls, coconut gallops and - oh! - more lead vocals. However, 'Viech' remain true to their core competence, which they have cultivated since 2011. And that is: reflective pop music that pleasantly brushes our listening habits against the grain.

Lecture: More than an arch - historical insights and outlooks on 'going out' in Innsbruck

The Innsbruck arches are both a synonym and a myth for going out in Innsbruck. The Bogenmeile, as it is colloquially known, has been an integral part of many people's evening and night-time activities for over 30 years. Away from the arches, various cellar pubs, bars and clubs are central locations for night owls. Maurice Kumar, social and cultural worker, co-founder of www.subkulturarchiv.at and local sub(cultural) researcher, delves into various nightlife venues in Innsbruck over the last few decades:

  • Who hung out where?
  • Which scenes had which meeting places?
  • Who was not wanted where and how did this lead to the arches as we know them today?

This contribution also reveals a cultural and urban political dimension that has its continuity right up to the present day, which is reflected above all in the current precarious situation for culture and party spaces.

The lecture will be presented twice this afternoon: 3pm - 4pm and 5pm - 6pm

Please arrive on time - there will be no admission during the lecture!

Since 2021, the informal collective Störbild has been enriching Innsbruck's cultural landscape with a variety of different formats, always with a focus on the participatory involvement of groups and individuals.

This is particularly evident in the numerous collaborations with different actors in Innsbruck's cultural landscape and the opportunity for visitors to participate in the event in an inclusive manner. Away from purely hedonistic celebrations and neoliberal constraints, the collective tries to create a space with as little discrimination as possible and make it accessible to a diverse audience. Thematically, the events deal with socially relevant issues and range from installations and performances to workshops and the provision of resources. Among other things, the focus is on

  • Skill-sharing formats such as DJ and technology workshops
  • Fundraising for sea rescue and "people on the move"
  • LGBTQIA+ topics and queer-feminist perspectives
  • Inclusive urban development
  • Participation in social processes
  • The topic of gender-based violence
  • Film screenings, panel discussions and talks
