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.

TOI - The Tyrolean dialect band

TOI is a Tyrolean band with a dialect-appropriate attitude. Rock, funk, soul and pop meet lyrics in Pitztal dialect in a Google-round world. The quartet has been delighting audiences for over 10 years with their humorous dialect lyrics, gripping music and exuberant enthusiasm.

CubaBoarisch 2.0

Whether Salsa, Son or Landler, they simply have it in their blood: the lively Cuban rhythms as well as the earthy Bavarian ones. The Chiemgau musician Leo Meixner, former singer of the Germany-wide celebrated CubaBoarischen, and the Cuban thoroughbred musician and singer Yinet Rojas Cardona merge their souls as a duo and present an effervescent musical cocktail of Cuban rum, global pop and Bavaria. Their latest song and video "Dahoam is überoi" can be understood as a fundamental message from the heart.

Max von Milland has made another new album. And it's called like his home river: the Eisack. Anyone who has ever embarked on this adventure knows that it has to flow when you create an album. Draußen bei den Leuten, bei Konzerten und beim Hören im stillen Kämmerlein. Take the time to listen to this album, dear people! Then it will flow better again...

Tanyc

TANYC is anything but an unknown; as part of the duo CAMA, she has long enjoyed major success. In 2021, the likeable Austrian released her album of the same name, accompanied by drei great videos.

Her debut album is a hybrid of studio art and live band, of electronics and years of stage experience, of ethereal poetry and monumental staging. Her voice towers over everything: sometimes angelic and crystal clear, sometimes vintage soul, sometimes femme fatale.

But sometimes words are not enough. The magnificent six-piece live band will give every audience an unforgettable evening.

Susan Wolf

Susan Wolf has made a remarkable new start with her album I HAVE VISIONS . Loosening old shackles, trusting life, following the calls of the soul: In the field of tension between Nordic melancholy and warm, bubbling Americana sounds, the Austrian tells the moving story of her life, captivating listeners with her authenticity and strong voice, which she usually lets resonate gently and with many subtle nuances.dru After touring with Katie Melua, Mick Hucknall (Simply Red) and Andrew Bird, she returns to the stage in 2024 with a new album and her Danish ensemble.

Streetcar of the Balkans

Streetcar des Balkans -the streetcar of the Balkan countries rolls in directly from Grenoble and has nothing less than a volcano in its luggage net. The music is still based on klezmer melodies and traditional pieces from Central Europe. But it is the musicians' unbridled joy of discovery and creativity that has given it its special character.

THURSDAY, 18.07.2024

On the Day of Regional Artists, mariatheresia presents local DJ Allspice and the Street Motion Studio 's Profitanz crew as an aftershow to the festival from 11 pm.

DJ Allspice has made it his goal to (re-)socialize Tyrol's population into the dazzling nightlife. In combination with dance performances by Street Motion Studio Innsbruck, the festival will take you through the history of disco and dance music: from rhythm & blues to soul, funk and disco of the 70s, to contemporary nu disco and soulful house. The joint 'Social Groove' is a hommage to groove and glamor, a plea for dance and love. Disco never dies!

SATURDAY, 20.07.2024

On Twin Cities Day, p.m.k presents the two DJs Ninasupsa and Zesknel from Innsbruck's twin city Tbilisi.

The Georgian capital Tbilisi is currently one of the most artistically vibrant cities in the wider European region. In recent years, a scene has emerged around the legendary Bassiani club and the cultural platform Mutant Radio that could not be more dring and radical in its artistic output. On this evening, p.m.k presents two protagonists from this twin city of Innsbruck, which is in a state of upheaval.

Ninasupsa

Ninasupsa is the stage name of Georgian DJ Nina Bochorishvili. She is co-founder of the online radio station Mutant Radio and resident DJ at Bassiani/Horoom. She is influenced by 90s pop, house and electronica.

Zesknel

Expect some noise! Zesknel is the pseudonym of Georgian musician Zuka Babunashvili. Eclectic recordings convey a musical message full of visions and ideas, while his improvised live performances are based on intuitive perceptions and attempt to create a ritual unity with abstract sounds. Zuka is a member of the digital radio platform Mutant Radio and a resident at the Tbilisi club Bassiani.

Easy, environmentally friendly and free cycling to the festival - with the code 602000 you can use the city bike free of charge for the first 30 minutes on the drei festival days to get to the BRIDGE BEAT FESTIVAL and back home again in comfort.
