25 Years of Woast Cultural Association: Celebrating a Legacy of Alternative Cultural Events in Wartberg, Hagenberg, and Pregarten

2023-10-07 16:00:00

WARTBERG/PREGARTEN. The Woast cultural association will look back on 25 years of cultural work in the region on Saturday, October 14th, in the Old Department Store in Pregarten.

Since its founding in 1998, the Woast cultural association has organized more than 130 events in various locations in the Wartberg ob der Aist, Hagenberg and Pregarten area. Sometimes with more, sometimes with less budget, but always with the help of music-loving friends who invested countless hours of voluntary, unpaid work to make alternative cultural events possible in rural areas. After a quarter of a century, we should now look back to appreciate what has been achieved. To do this, on Saturday, October 14th, the Woast will move to the empty Old Department Store (the “Luftensteiner”) in Pregarten, open its archives and show what remains of 25 years of cultural work. The kick-off exhibition begins at 7 p.m. A concert with the Swedish post punk/new wave band INVSN follows from 9.30 p.m. Originally started as a solo project by Dennis Lyxzén (Refused, The International Noise Conspiracy), INVSN has now grown into a five-piece band. In 2022 they released their fifth album “Let The Night Love You”. They then inspire with catchy pop hooks, post-punk energy and new wave synths that are reminiscent of the best, darkest bands of the 80s. They play their only concert in Austria on this tour at the Altes Kaufhaus. Admission to the exhibition is free, concert entry (evening box office only) costs 10 euros. In keeping with the celebration, the Woast Brew Crew is serving its Woast anniversary beer.
