Gans Anders Festival

22.- 24. September

baggersee Innsbruck

Welcome to the Gans Anders Festival, where the mountains are high, the lake is clear, and the creativity is off the charts! This festival is all about letting loose, embracing your inner artist, and having a great time with friends old and new.

You’ll find three stages that will keep you grooving all day and night, with acoustic and electronic music that’ll make you want to dance like nobody’s watching. And if you need a break from the tunes, you can always check out the live art performances or get your hands dirty in a workshop or two.

We take our environmental responsibility seriously, so we’re proud to say that everything at the festival is recycled, composted, or reused. Our team of volunteers work hard to make sure the festival has a minimal impact on the environment, while still keeping the fun factor at maximum levels.

So pack your bags, grab your sunscreen, and join us for the most unforgettable weekend of the year. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create and who you’ll meet at Gans Anders.
