New Viennese format 2026, Isle of Summer is also installed on the Donauinsel but with a radically different identity: a one-day open air entirely focused on melodic techno and house. The concept takes up the code of boutique festivals which are a hit in Spain and Croatia, with a careful scenography, a target crowd and a special programming DJ side. The quality-price ratio is interesting for a Viennese open air and the setting, right on the banks of the Danube, adds a real visual dimension to the sets which last until sunset. Ideal format to combine with a three-day Vienna city trip.
