Bridge Beat Festival
Innsbruck has a new summer festival! From July 18-20, the BRIDGE BEAT FESTIVAL will take place for the first time this year in the heart of the city on Maria-Theresien-Straße. An event that aims to build bridges between people, cultures and cities.
The Bridge Beat Festival is more than just a music festival. It stands for unity and togetherness in times of division and challenges. The aim of the new format is to build bridges - between people, cities and cultures and to emphasize the summery lightness, the good attitude to life of our state capital.
The festival is open to everyone and admission is free.
The festival extends over drei days and offers a varied line-up and an exciting side program from 6 pm onwards. As artistic director, Tyrolean musician and producer Marc Hess accompanies the festival with his many years of experience and great sensitivity. In the selection of acts, the theme of 'building bridges' was brought to the fore in an artistic, creativedruck. 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.

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" stands for the pulsating life of our city and the rhythm of the music, which gives the festival the energy that should be passed on to the visitors.
