LH Doskozil: The state of Burgenland is supporting the young music scene with this project
Burgenland’s music scene is extremely lively and diverse, and the GENERATION NEXT project is now making a broad audience aware of this. The idea for this festival series came regarding in 2022 and will now go “on stage” in September and October 2023 – in Mannersdorf, Oberwart and Mattersburg. The state of Burgenland is thus responding to the desire of many artists for more performance opportunities, emphasizes state governor and cultural officer Hans Peter Doskozil: “The musicians and music fans want live concerts. With the GENERATION NEXT project we are making this possible and bringing a new generation of creative bands to the fore.” On three concert days, visitors can see a total of 14 Burgenland bands free of charge. The project is part of the 2023 cultural package, which was launched by LH Hans Peter Doskozil to quickly and efficiently cushion the wave of inflation and the followingeffects of the pandemic in the local art and culture scene and to give artists the necessary support. “The state’s task is to create the best framework conditions for art and culture. This also includes the provision of additional performance and presentation opportunities. With GENERATION NEXT we are promoting the local scene and also giving newcomers at the beginning of their careers the chance to perform in front of an audience,” says Doskozil.
From Opus and Christian Kolonovits to Garish to Mira Lu Kovacs, Burgenland has played a key role in shaping the Austrian music landscape. “The challenges of the past few years have somewhat obscured the view of the country’s still vibrant music scene. With the GENERATION NEXT festivals, the state of Burgenland makes the diversity of the local subculture visible to a broad audience,” said state governor and cultural officer Hans Peter Doskozil. The festivals give the musicians a stage and at the same time provide a boost for the locals, the technology companies, sound engineers and graphic designers involved. The idea of supporting the Burgenland band scene with this format came regarding in a conversation with LH Doskozil in 2022, in which numerous cultural figures in the country took part. Concepts, ideas and suggestions for improving the local art and cultural landscape were introduced and discussed. One result of this conversation is the GENERATION NEXT project, which is being implemented by Nick Wukovits with the support of the state of Burgenland.
Already established bands such as The Blamphins, Max Schabl, Mindblind and Crowdfleckerl, exciting “insider tips” such as Ellyster, Doppeldecker and Reino Glutberg as well as real newcomers who get the chance to perform on a big stage for the first time will be taking part in the concerts. Entry is free so that the bands can play in front of as large an audience as possible. The festivals will take place on September 30, 2023, October 14 and October 21, 2023.
