About the person

ANNA BUCHEGGER

A special highlight awaits visitors to the Kurpark: Austrian musician Anna Buchegger delights with her energetic performance and catchy pop-rock hits. With her sensitive voice and stage presence, she is one of the most exciting artists on the local music scene.

ANNA

BUCHEGGER

Following her highly acclaimed debut "Windschatten" (October 2024) - honoured with two Amadeus Award nominations, the Hubert von Goisern Culture Prize 2024 and an ARTE TRACKS portrait - Austrian musician Anna Buchegger is releasing her second album "Soiz". With "Soiz", Buchegger opens the next chapter - one that is only just beginning.
She remains true to dialect as an artistic statement and confronts alpine tradition with self-irony, feminist attitude and avant-garde sound language. Between couture and traditional costume, an artistic figure emerges who does not preserve her homeland, but critically questions it. The album climbed to number 6 in the Austrian monthly album charts and marks the start of an intensive live phase with over 40 shows in 2026.

BEATS & BUBBLES at Zweitwohnsitz - Bad Ischler Stadtfest
Saturday 4 July 2026 from 5 pm

If you thought this was going to be "a bit of music and a glass of bubbles" - think again!

KAISER FRANZ DISCO live on the BALKONY will be banging out beats until even your excuses are dancing.
Bubbles in a glass will take care of the rest - a good mood IN a glass is the order of the day!
And if your stomach suddenly starts acting up:
Cheeky bagels - to stay or to go. Quickly. Before you have to dance again.

Second home turns the street up loud.
Dancing in the street - that's plan A!

No plan B needed by the way!

Changes to the programme may still be possible at short notice!

Jazz Brunch & Family Vibes
After two exuberant days of festivities, Sunday is a relaxed day. With the sounds of jazz, fine Prosecco, our excellent GIN Elisabeth No1 and a cosy atmosphere, we invite you to round off the Stadtfest weekend. Whether over brunch, a small picnic on the Esplanade or simply enjoying the special atmosphere directly on the Traun - SISSIKUSS offers the perfect setting for a relaxed Sunday with family and friends.

We look forward to three days full of enjoyment, music and good humour right in the heart of Bad Ischl.
