Bridge Beat Festival
The BRIDGE BEAT FESTIVAL is entering the next round and will once again turn Innsbruck into a stage for musical and cultural encounters in 2026. From July 16-18 at the Landestheater forecourt, the BRIDGE BEAT FESTIVAL will build bridges between people, generations, cities and cultures - in the middle of the city, with free admission and with a clear attitude.
Over several days, regional roots and international perspectives come together: a finely curated music program put together by Tyrolean musician and producer Marc Hess , who uses his many years of experience and great sensitivity to ensure the right sound. The selection of acts expresses the theme of 'building bridges' in an artistic and creative way. Musically, visitors can look forward to "crossover" - a mixture of indie, jazz, pop, blues, folk and world music, in dialect, in native languages and in English.
A special highlight is the BRIDGE BEAT BRUNCH in the courtyard garden (daily 11-13:30): In a relaxed atmosphere, selected acts provide a musical foretaste of the evening program in the morning. Approachable, low-threshold and cross-generational, the brunch invites you to get a taste of the festival air - on picnic blankets, in deckchairs and accompanied by small culinary offerings
Details on the program, line-up and highlights will follow shortly.
Bridge Beat - the name says it all
Obviously derived from the name of our provincial capital Innsbruck at first glance, the "bridge" in the name stands for much more: the festival is based on the idea of building connections and bridges - bridges between countries, cities, cultures, musical styles and people. One aim is to involve other institutions in the city and work closely with them. The 'beat' symbolizes the pulsating life of our city and the rhythm of the music that gives the festival its energy and passes it on to the visitors.
