Hubert von Goisern back on stage in 2027!
When the new tour kicks off in 2027, it will have been three years since Hubert von Goisern last performed in front of an audience.
HvG was last seen playing on the street – as part of the Capital of Culture 2024, he spent the summer giving spur-of-the-moment and short-notice concerts with changing lineups and many guests, some of whom had travelled from afar.
Some of these unpredictable elements will continue and be reflected in Hubert von Goisern's upcoming programme when he goes on tour once more in 2027. Hubert von Goisern has always known how to surprise and has always been a master of breaking with convention. Sometimes seamlessly, sometimes brazenly.
The past is a constant.
Don't you hear how time goes by…?
Prick up your ears and listen!
Blech, Balg & Holz: Hubert von Goisern and the Lungau Big Band
Live album and winter dates
Music from the heart of Austria is what the Lungau Big Band plays. And they've been doing this for 40 years now: in 2023 the ensemble celebrated their milestone anniversary. It's not often the case that a jazz ensemble remains active for such a long time. All the more reason for Hubert von Goisern to let himself in for the big band adventure for a few select dates. With his own songs, arranged for brass, bellows and woodwind. A colourful programme full of jazz and brass, with lots to hear from many of the points on Hubert von Goisern's musical journey. A foray that stretches over a good 30 years - from the Alpinkatzen era to today. All arranged for a highly motivated 17-member ensemble.
On 5 July 2024 comes the new live album Blech, Balg und Holz, a recording from the Wiener Konzerthaus - a truly enjoyable listen. And this autumn the big band collaboration will be continued.
Acoustic attacks of a special kind
This summer the Salzkammergut region will be filled with music when Hubert von Goisern and various lineups serve up acoustic attacks of a special kind in each of the Capital of Culture municipalities. The musicians will appear at short notice to play in selected places in the region. So, just prick up your ears and follow the sound! Details of the events will be given close to the time on Freies Radio Salzkammergut - as well as here and on Hubert's social media. After a handful of the street appearances, there will be Summer Evening Concerts. Perfect for those who missed the street music - or simply want to hear more. Tickets for the first of these dates, starting 16 June, are on sale now!

Hubert von Goisern: ZEITEN & ZEICHEN LIVE
Live double album out on 12 May 2023!
Hubert von Goisern has stood on the stages of Europe for more than three decades - and has reinvented himself time and again. His most recent tour Zeiten & Zeichen had to be postponed several times due to the pandemic and his return to the stage in 2022 was celebrated by his audience all the more passionately.
The last concert of this tour was a home game for the Austrian with the finale of the Zeiten & Zeichen tour being played at the Festspielhaus in Salzburg. The unique atmosphere of this concert was captured on film - and the soundtrack is now being released. This live album is a rousing prelude to the upcoming tour.
