THE STING PROJECT

Pop History: Sting & The Police

The music of global superstar Sting captivates audiences of all ages. The band THE STING PROJECT brings to the stage the songs of this charismatic Brit, who scored global hits with Every Breath You Take, Fields Of Gold and Desert Rose and has 16 Grammys to his name.

In 2004, Marco Eltner from Judenburg founded the band in Upper Styria; despite their youth (singer Lisa Freidl was just 15 years old at the time), they perform at a very high musical standard.

As part of the ‘Judenburger Sommer’ festival in 2007, the group performed for the first time under the name LIECHTENSTEIN, presenting their own German compositions. Since then, the band has successfully performed concerts throughout Austria. Highlights have included numerous town festivals, as well as a performance on Vienna’s Rathausplatz, at the Euro 2016 public viewing in Vienna’s Prater, as the support act for Liquido at a festival, and performances alongside some legends of Austropop such as Boris Bukowski, Wilfried, and Papermoon.

Throughout this time, Sting and his music have always had a significant influence on the band’s style, which is why the musicians decided to bring THE STING PROJECT back to life in 2016.

As the only Sting & The Police cover band in Austria, THE STING PROJECT offers a superlative ‘Best of Sting & The Police’ show featuring all the hits from Sting’s solo career, as well as those of the legendary trio The Police.

BEACH BAND

Summer Opening

Sandy beaches, surfboards, gorgeous sun-kissed bodies, cool drinks and utterly laid-back hits in perfect harmony... This almost unbearably beautiful cliché led to the formation of the BEACH BAND in 2000!

Ever since then, the magnificent sound of the Beach Boys, complete with their complex harmonies, has been bringing that little bit of ocean to your ears! An unrivalled mix of Beach Boys, flower power, ice lollies and hits with style!

And an unforgettable evening full of good vibrations...

UDO TRIBUTE BAND

HITS, CLASSICS AND RARITIES BY THE UNFORGOTTEN UDO JÜRGENS

Attention, not in the museum, but

at the town festival in Völkermarkt!

UDO JÜRGENS was born in Klagenfurt. That is well known. A large part of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND also comes from the Klagenfurt area. GERT PRIX, mastermind of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND, was also born in Klagenfurt and attended the same conservatory as the great entertainer.

The UDO TRIBUTE BAND was founded back in 2011 and had the full approval of the unique artist. He made this known in a personal letter, a silent distinction and a great honour for the entire band.

Even as a child, Gert Prix played the legendary Udo hits of the sixties - then still called chansons - on the piano, much to the annoyance of his piano professor, who - as was customary at the time - drew a strict line between serious and popular music. A boundary that Udo repeatedly dissolved in his life's work and very successfully declared superfluous.

The fact that Gert even shared the stage with Udo himself for an entire evening when he was almost 20 years old was perhaps the unconscious spark that led to the founding of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND a few decades later.

The other members of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND, some older and some younger, also found their personal connection to the huge repertoire of the most successful German-speaking singer's more than 50-year career in the course of their lives.

Over the course of two evenings, the eight-strong UDO TRIBUTE BAND presented the entire spectrum, from the largely well-known beginnings to genuine rarities and the unrivalled classics of the great entertainer UDO JÜRGENS, with both respect and passion.

School's Out

The annual end of school party for adults

It has been a cult event for years and is somehow indispensable: the end-of-school party for adults!

This year, the School's Out Band has once again rummaged through the hit lists of the last six decades and selected real summer hit highlights for this end-of-school party.

A Bright Red Rubber Boat collides with Italian tearjerkers, Summer Wine is served in a Piccola E Fragile bouteille, and finally, there's no doubt that the Summer Of '69 reminds us of the best summers of our lives for a reason...

:- )

And the same applies in 2026: Summer Splash - let's be charitable!

All School's Out artists are waiving their fees in these difficult times, and as usual, all proceeds will be donated to a charitable project. And there are more than enough of them this year too...

The Billy Joel Project

Pop History: Billy Joel

33 Top 40 hits and 6 Grammys! That is Billy Joel’s unrivalled track record. Often compared to Elton John at the start of his career, Billy very quickly carved out his own place in pop history with his unmistakable voice and virtuosity at the piano!

The star-studded BILLY JOEL PROJECT, led by Alexander Matauschek, rises to the challenge and invites you on a journey that takes you from Honesty, My Life and The Piano Man to Uptown Girl and the cosy classic Just The Way You Are, whilst also not shying away from pianistic feats such as Root Beer Rag!

Nick Steed & Friends

The keyboarder of the band Colosseum at the EBOARDMUSEUM

Even as an 11-year-old, Nick Steed entertained guests at his parents’ pub with his keyboard, and at 15 he joined a local blues band in his hometown of Stockport. From 2013, he performed with his own blues band, a quartet featuring PAUL BURGESS on drums, who had enjoyed some success with 10CC. During one of these gigs, he was spotted by Norman Beaker, who subsequently offered Nick a spot in his band, which went on to tour with big names such as the American blues legend Larry Garner and Chris Farlowe. In the meantime, the members of the legendary prog-jazz-rock band COLOSSEUM also took notice of Nick, which ultimately led to him securing the role of keyboardist in this magnificent band, with whom he still tours regularly and is currently working on a new album.

In addition, Nick remains involved in various other projects, whether with his jazz-fusion band Optimystic Visionaries, his power-blues trio, or continuing as a solo artist. As such, he released his solo album Influential Guidance in 2023, which was very well received by the music press and whose songs he also performs to a large extent with his trio.
