We are Friends of the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna!

The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is one of the world’s biggest music events and captivates millions of viewers every year. When the ESC takes place at the Wiener Stadthalle, the Austrian capital becomes the vibrant heart of the international music scene. The event is organised by ORF, which ensures a spectacular production and a smooth running of the show.

As a host city, Vienna offers the ideal conditions for the Eurovision Song Contest. The city combines a historic backdrop with modern infrastructure, creating a unique atmosphere for artists and fans from all over Europe. Numerous side events, public viewings and fan zones transform Vienna into a lively festival metropolis during the ESC.

Our client, ORF, places particular emphasis on high-quality production. From impressive stage designs and state-of-the-art lighting technology to innovative show concepts, the Eurovision Song Contest is set to be an unforgettable experience. At the same time, the tourism sector stands to benefit: hotels, restaurants and local businesses see a significant increase in international visitors during the event.

We are also involved with our products. Firstly, ORF relies on our wireless Phonak Studio Earpieces and other headsets. Furthermore, a major trial of our Auracast products for radio link transmission is underway with a long-standing client from the public sector to coincide with the ESC. 

For Austria, the Eurovision Song Contest is more than just a music competition. It offers the opportunity to showcase the country’s culture and position itself as a cosmopolitan destination. Vienna makes the most of this opportunity by combining tradition and modernity.

In summary, it can be said that the ESC in Vienna, organised by the ORF, is not only a musical highlight but also a significant economic factor and an international flagship for Austria. Anyone experiencing the Eurovision Song Contest live in Vienna is immersed in a unique blend of music, culture and a sense of European community.
