On this evening, Folk Marathon will be happening in four different music clubs, which are all a vital part of Vienna's "Gürtel" scene (starting times as prognosed):
Fanialive, our headquarters, will host a dancing evening, featuring Les Chançards (~20:30), Warmoes (~22:15) and Juglar XXI (23:45)
Coco will mainly be the right venue for rather smooth, quiet dancing, with Idir (~20:45), David & Friends (~21:45), Hellsten, Jansson, Stensson (~23:00) and, finally, Shiny Disco Folks (~midnight).
Loop will be home of some great concert performances by Styrian band Gwendolin (20:30), Italian Bailenga (~21:45) plus a set by Welsh indie folk-rock brothers Lo-Fi Jones (~23:15)
Finally, trusted old Cafe Concerto offers enough space for mighty jams, from 19:00 till 01:00.
The Gürtel ("belt") is not only one of Vienna's largest, longest and most busy streets. It's also of historical significance, as it used to be the border between the inner districts and the outer ones, which only became a part of Vienna in 1892.
For a good part, the metro line U6, the former "Stadtbahn", follows this original outer city wall and gives an impressive appearance.. Its viaduct structures and some of the stations do not only have architectonical relevance, they also are now very often home to a lively club scene.
