Loreen in Vienna: 1500 fans celebrate a disappointing return evening!

In the Vienna Gasometer, a concert by the Swedish singer and two-time Eurovision winner Loreen took place on Friday evening, but interest was modest: only about 1,500 fans came, which the hall did not even fill half. Loreen, who caused a sensation with her hit "Euphoria" and in 2023 with "Tattoo", staged an impressive stage show, but could not meet the expectations of a full -length program, such as krone.at reported.

The Swedish musician, who is only the second person in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest who won twice, presented a varied program with her characteristic glitter appearance and emotional songs. Nevertheless, many critics noticed that the performance in the gasometer did not achieve the dynamics and the ESC budget wealth. Loreen's last tours avoided Austria and her last appearance there was at the Life Ball in 2015. Despite the secluded backdrop and the efforted staging, the number of spectators remained behind the expectations.

The show in Vienna was accompanied by a elaborately designed stage design and strong beats, but could not offer the penetrating artistic experience that many fans had expected. Loreen switched between different music styles, but did not develop a tension that could fill an entire concert. Ultimately, the show was rather static and not sufficiently dynamic, which criticized several visitors as weakness. As wikipedia , this could be due to Loreen's difficulties to maintain their commerciality beyond the Eurovision hype. Such a challenge is not unusual for artists who have to gain a foothold again after their fame in the ESC.

The short interactions with the audience and the extended encores were not enough to inspire the audience over the full concert time. Fans who were eagerly waiting for the hits, such as "Euphoria", had to be patient until almost at the end of the show. In the end, the performance showed snapshots of euphoria, but still left a feeling that a concert with more variety and deep emotion would have been necessary to remain in the memory.
