// The Open Stage is once again bringing the city center to life!

Open Stage
Music and cabaret
in the old town of Linz
free performance opportunity for street art 

Performing street music in Linz has become more expensive due to a federal tax, see Straßenkunstbescheid. A post on our participation platform addressed this problem - at the same time, Isabella from our team has already been working on an alternative with Roland Pachner from the association Verein Wir Altstadt Linz. The City of Linz offers artists the opportunity to use the Open Stage at Alter Markt in Linz's Old Town free of charge throughout the year. Whether it's music, cabaret, or poetry slam – the stage is open to all styles and genres.

Attention: Not everything is allowed!

As the permanent use of the Open Stage is only permitted for a very specific purpose, there are some general conditions to be observed:

• A performance is only possible via official appointment booking (see button above)
• Instruments may only be played unplugged and quietly (e.g. wind instruments muted).
• This means that there is no electricity etc. - and no additional infrastructure - just the stage.
• Of course, cabaret also means that no reprehensible or inflammatory content may be disseminated on the open stage.
• Fees are only paid by the audience.
• And to ensure that the allocation remains fair, you can only claim a maximum of 2 hours and a maximum of 3 times per month on the Open Stage.
• You can find more detailed terms of use on the booking page.
