Shock for Vienna! All concerts in Schönbrunn cancelled
In 2025, Vienna was supposed to be the center of music events, but now there is alarming news: All planned open-air concerts and music events have been cancelled.. This situation shocked not only local residents, but also tourists who come to the Austrian capital every year to enjoy musical performances. As reported by The Standard, among the planned events was the successful musical "I AM FROM AUSTRIA", which was scheduled to take place in early July.
The reason for the cancellation is due to new noise protection legislation coming into force in 2025. This means that concerts and musicals in open-air venues such as Schönbrunn Palace, will be banned. Concert organisers including Show Factory have already faced unacceptable fines for exceeding noise levels in previous years and are now making the difficult decision to cancel events.
Show Factory Managing Director Dieter Semmelmann expressed his disappointment, stressing that the team had been full of hopes for the successful implementation of concerts and events that attracted more than 150,000 visitors over the past four years. “We are proud of our work, but under the new conditions we cannot guarantee the required quality,” he added.
All purchased tickets can be returned to the box office where they were purchased. This cancellation is not only a loss for the audience, but also for the artists and organizers, who are hoping for a possible resumption of events in 2026. "We are looking for ways to cooperate with the city and other organizers to open the doors of Schönbrunn to music again," concluded Semmelmann.
