    Yay! Viel zu spät heuer. Aber wenigstens gibt's das noch.
Description
The Donauinselfest (German for Danube Island Festival) is an annual open air music festival on the Donauinsel in Vienna, Austria. It takes place towards the end of June (Friday through Sunday) - except for 2008 (Sept. 5th-7th), due to Austria (& Switzerland) hosting the European Football Championship.
The festival is free and, according to numerous media reports being Europe's biggest open air event, expected to soon hit the 3-million-visitors mark. Some 1500 volunteer assistants plus a reasonable presence of police make the Danube Island Festival one of the most secure big events. To ensure this, "rules of the house" were successfully established by 2007. They disallow for instance to bring glass bottles and liquor to the festival area
Cost
Free.
