Vienna is set to host a spectacular celebration of queer culture, music, and performance tomorrow, June 13th, as the Vienna Pride Village transforms Rathausplatz into a vibrant stage. Austrian Eurovision champions Conchita Wurst and JJ are confirmed to headline the event, promising an unforgettable evening of pride and community.

Eurovision Stars Lead the Celebrations

The Vienna Pride Village at Rathausplatz will be the epicentre of festivities on June 13th, inviting everyone to embrace an evening brimming with great performances. Leading the star-studded line-up is none other than Austria’s latest Eurovision sensation, JJ. Having secured victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with his captivating song ‘Wasted Love‘, JJ brings his unique blend of classical and pop to the stage. The countertenor is celebrated as one of Europe’s most exciting new artists, and his performance is highly anticipated.

Joining JJ is the iconic Conchita Wurst, Austria’s Eurovision 2014 victor with ‘Rise Like a Phoenix‘. Conchita is not only an exceptional artist but also a powerful voice for diversity, self-determination, and visibility within the LGBTQ+ community. Her unmistakable presence continues to inspire audiences worldwide.

A Diverse Showcase of Talent

The stage will also feature a diverse array of talent from the queer scene. Viennese artist ÆNGL will present a captivating fusion of alternative pop, house, electronic music, and Afro Fusion, creating an emotional and genre-bending sound that oscillates between vulnerability and euphoria.

POP:SCH will bring their electrifying mix of electro, glitter, punk, and 80s vibes, bridging club culture with political activism and showcasing their latest album, ‘GAY PROPAGANDA’.

The event will also celebrate the vibrant drag and queer scene with performances by well-known figures such as Metamorkid, celebrated for extravagant looks and engaging humour, and Bloodsugar, the Bulgarian-born trans drag artist known for her unique energy and electrifying shows.

Adding to the excitement, Pandora Nox, winner of Drag Race Germany, will take the stage alongside RAGE, Eimer Kantwurst, Gwen Darling & Spizy G feat. Nox Dynasty, showcasing the rich diversity of Vienna’s drag community. This promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with pride, community spirit, and spectacular entertainment for all attendees.
