Steyr City Festival, June 26–28, 2026
June 26–28, 2026
Three days of music, culinary delights, and top-notch entertainment
All of Steyr will be celebrating at the 45th Steyr City Festival from June 26 to 28, 2026. The downtown area will once again be transformed into a large festival grounds for visitors of all ages. The festival offers a diverse program featuring live music on multiple stages, culinary delights, and performances by local clubs.
Friday is all about musical diversity: On the main stage, “Help! A Beatles Tribute Band” will create a nostalgic atmosphere and an authentic concert experience with the Beatles’ greatest hits. Afterward, “Ecos de Siboney” will bring Latin American sounds to Steyr. On the Neutor stage, Maxi Pongratz will open the evening before Attwenger delivers high-energy live moments with their unique blend of tradition and modern sounds.
On Saturday, Turtlenecks will create a relaxed festival atmosphere on the main stage with their groovy retro sound, before Krautschädl celebrate their comeback and take over the stage with energetic rock. On the Neutor Stage, Romantic Slivo & The Burning Hearts deliver their charmingly kitschy soul, while Orges and the Ockus Rockus Band provide variety with their powerful “Balkanbilly.”
In addition to the stage program, the city festival offers numerous other highlights: In the castle park, the Grünland Festival creates a special festival atmosphere with a diverse lineup and the popular creative market. For the first time, the children’s and family program will also be integrated directly into the festival grounds. In addition, live music and entertainment will once again be offered on the Ennskai.
Sunday morning is traditionally dedicated to the city run, rounding off the festival weekend with a sporting event. The city festival promises three days full of music, enjoyment, and socializing.
