The Viennese festival weeks 2025: five weeks of love in the radio house

The Viennese festival weeks 2025 are just around the corner and they promise to become a very special event. Under the promising motto "Republic of Love" will be celebrated in the Austrian capital from May to June. From May 16 to June 22, the ORF radio house transformed into the "House of the Republic", the heart of this festive event.

During this time, love - a feeling that connects many people - will be the focus. The festival weeks offer a varied program with concerts by the "Band of the Republic", clubnights and magical moments around the campfire. The historical charm of the radio house from the 1930s will additionally enrich the atmosphere.

emotional discussions and creative productions

This year it goes beyond mere celebration; There are also profound discussions and creative productions on the agenda. After the last year that focused on the topic of revolution, the focus will be on the emotional aspects of our society. Srećko Horvat, a prominent Croatian philosopher and activist, will captivate visitors with his series "Revolutionary Love".

In the run -up to the festival weeks, there is already an important event. On November 5, the radio house organizes the international "Resistance Now!" Tour. A discussion round, moderated by Milo Rau, director of the Viennese festival weeks, will deal with the question of how one can occur in times of political change for democracy and freedom of art. Experts like Dóra Büki and Matej Drlička will be present.

The advance sale for some central productions starts on December 6th, and the entire weekend of the festival will be announced in February. These advance announcements give hope for a dynamic and diverse festival concept.

For information and registrations for the discussion round, interested parties can visit the official website of the Vienna Festival. Admission is free and the event promises to become a real dialogue room that illuminates important topics of the present.
