Blues Fever Festival Vienna

The Blues Fever Festival is an absolute highlight for enthusiasts of live music, African American musical history, and authentic blues dancing in Europe. Every December, Vienna transforms into a vibrant hub for the international blues scene, drawing dancers, musicians, and fans from all over the world.

Those looking to escape the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle will appreciate the Blues Fever Festival. Although the festival takes place in December, it is entirely focused on dance, music, and the blues.

The festival offers an extensive program that goes well beyond typical concerts. At its core are top-tier dance workshops covering a wide range of styles and skill levels—from traditional forms like Texas Shuffle, Piedmont Blues, Funk Blues, and Struttin’ to in-depth technical courses, solo classes, and creative movement sessions. The dance offerings are complemented by engaging talks—open to all pass holders—on topics such as music history, dance culture, and ecological justice within the blues tradition.

The festival features a spectacular backdrop of live performances by international blues icons and bands across multiple stages, high-caliber dance competitions, and lively social parties that continue into the early hours of the morning.

The primary venue is the Brotfabrik Wien, utilizing the Ankersaal and the modern Superar facilities, while select program elements and opening events take place in various cozy venues throughout the city.
