Rathausplatz Film Festival 2024: Experience the Best of Music and Dance on Film

The Vienna Rathausplatz Film Festival kicked off with a bang this past Saturday with The Rolling Stones – Grrr! Live, drawing crowds of fans eager to experience the legendary band's 2012 performance.

The festival, now in its 34th year, features daily screenings of films focused on music and dance, complemented by a wide array of food and drink options.

Due to the UEFA Championship the public viewing area will be standing room only until the finals on 14 July.
From mid July until 1 September, the festival area will return to its familiar setting with approximately 2800 seats.

The attendees can look forward to electrifying performances such as Queen's show before 250,000 fans in Rio de Janeiro, alongside unforgettable concerts by Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and Eric Clapton. Noteworthy representatives of jazz and blues genres are also featured, including nine-time Grammy winner Norah Jones and baritone vocalist Gregory Porter.

Among the highlights, Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th Symphony, performed in a unique collaboration by four orchestras simultaneously in Leipzig, Paris, Milan, and Vienna, marks its 200th anniversary. George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue celebrates its centenary, and in honor of Arnold Schoenberg's 150th birthday, three different productions are featured in this year's programme, including the concert from the Grafenegg Festival.
