Bask in Austria’s biggest electronic music celebration, Electric Love, where the beautiful Salzburg lake area turns into a playground of sound and light. You’ll be dancing with friends, old faces and new, as world-class stages and seriously powerful sound systems bring the energy to life.

But this festival is about more than the music. It’s a full-on flavour journey too. One moment you’re digging into a proper Austrian classic, the next you’re trying something bold and delicious from the other side of the world. Every bite adds to the good vibes and keeps the magic of Electric Love going strong.

Szene Openair 2025

Dates: July 31 – August 2, 2025
Location: Lustenau, Austria
www.szeneopenair.at

Szene Openair has a laid-back charm that’s hard to fake. Set beside the old Rhine, it already feels special before the music even starts. The lineup shifts from rock to hip hop to electronic without ever losing its flow, and the crowd moves with it. It’s not the kind of festival that tries too hard — it just gets it right.

Off the dancefloor, there’s loads to explore. Local dishes, global street food, art dotted around the site, workshops that actually pull people in — it all feels intentional. Szene has a strong community feel, and you can tell it cares about the bigger picture too. From supporting local talent to keeping things sustainable, it’s more than just a weekend of good music. It’s something people come back for.

FM4 Frequency Festival 2025

Dates: August 13-15, 2025
Location: St. Pölten, Austria
www.frequency.at

FM4 Frequency isn’t just another festival — it’s one of those weekends people plan their whole summer around. The lineup always goes big, with past names like Billie Eilish and Lewis Capaldi pulling in massive crowds. But it’s not just about the headliners. You’ll find all sorts of sounds here, from indie gems to heavy bass and everything in between.

What really makes it, though, is the atmosphere. It’s loud, full of life — in the best way. Whether you’re crashing in a tent, trying out glamping, or just along for the day, it’s easy to get swept up in the energy. There’s music everywhere, people buzzing, and that feeling you only really get when thousands of strangers are all there for the same reason.

Rave on Snow 2025

Dates: December 11-14, 2025
Location: Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria
www.raveonsnow.com

Rave on Snow is one of those festivals you need to experience at least once — and chances are, you’ll want to go back. Set high in the Austrian Alps, it’s where snow-covered slopes and dance music collide in the best possible way. Think crisp mountain air, big basslines, and a crowd that came to party, no matter the temperature.

Now over 25 years in, it’s more than just a winter weekender. With 14 stages spread across the resort, from cosy indoor clubs to open-air spots in the snow, the whole place turns into a dream for anyone who loves music and mountains. It’s not just a festival — it’s a proper winter ritual.

Snowbombing 2026

Dates: April 6-11, 2026
Location: Mayrhofen, Austria
www.snowbombing.com

Tucked away in the mountains of Mayrhofen, Snowbombing is where the slopes meet the sound system. It’s part ski trip, part music festival, and somehow still more than the sum of its parts. One minute you’re carving down a run, the next you’re dancing in your snow gear to a huge DJ set at the top of the mountain.

The lineup always brings a solid mix of electronic favourites, and the après-ski scene is just as big a draw. Whether you’re in it for the snow, the music, or just the chaos in between, Snowbombing delivers a mountain experience like no other. And the views? Unreal.

Electric Mountain Festival 2026

Dates: April 13-18, 2026
Location: Sölden, Austria
www.electromountainfestival.com

Electric Mountain Festival turns the Ötztal Alps into one massive dance floor. Set right in the middle of the slopes, it brings big-name EDM artists to the mountains and pairs them with some of the best views you’ll ever party to.

There’s something surreal about raving in your snow gear with the peaks all around you. The vibe is laid-back but full of energy, and Sölden turns into a proper playground for music lovers who also live for the mountains. If you’re into both, this one’s a no-brainer.
