The Broadway Big Band is committed to the traditional big band sound of the "Golden Aera of Swing". At the WU Ball, the band, led by "Playing Captain" Gerhard Aflenzer, will present a varied program on the stage in the Festsaal, including both standard dances and Latin American rhythms. The Broadway Big Band also places great emphasis on current hits, in big band style of course.
Andy Lee Lang (Mitternachtseinlage)
Rock'n'Roll has a name in Austria: Andy Lee Lang. The exceptional artist is a guarantee for atmospheric rock'n'roll and has been performing fireworks of music and entertainment on stage for decades.

V. VINYL LOUNGE (Hofburg Lounge)
DJ Deusl & DJ Scout
DJ Deusl and DJ Scout have been ensuring full dance floors since the early 90s - especially at student parties in Vienna and the surrounding area.

VII. METTERNICHSAAL
STEREOPARTY is living their love for the music and the songs 100% on stage. Fun, experience and professionalism become a bundle of energy that promises atmospheric flights of fancy. Thus, in addition to their shows as a party and cover band, the five musicians can also look back on a variety of assignments as a live band with well-known artists from the pop, rock and musical world. Look forward to a ball evening worth listening to with musical highlights in the Metternichsaal!!!
VIII. SCHATZKAMMERSAAL - "Heuriger"
WEINVIERTLER BLOS - rustic and authentic musicians from probably the coziest part of Lower Austria, the Weinviertel. Musically a contrast to the otherwise so widespread Bohemian brass band music, they play a mix of Austrian and Alpine folk music and also entertain with live, typically Austrian coziness and incomparable Weinviertel "Schmäh". They give the "Heurigen" in the Schatzkammersaal an authentic and incomparable flair.
IX. GARTENSAAL - DISCO
We are looking forward to 2:tages:bart at the WU Ball 2023! As the sons of two restaurateurs, the show talent has been in their legs since childhood. Their love for music and their open and likeable nature led them to the stages of the country. The closeness to the audience and the spontaneous and creative interludes of the two always bring the parties to a boil. Whether an improvised joke or a dance interlude, every show of the two is different and guarantees variety and fun.
