History and program
2001
On June 8th and 9th, 2001, the festival took place for the first time on the open-air area of the Arena in Vienna , then with the subtitle Vienna City Festival . Performing acts were: Slut , Stereo Total , Nina, Total Chaos , Seeed , Afrob , 2Raumwohnung , Blumfeld , Heinz from Vienna , Rah Digga and Eins Zwo .
2002
In 2002 the festival was moved to the Salzburgring . The decision for this site was influenced on the one hand by the lack of camping facilities in Vienna and on the other hand by the proximity of Salzburg to Germany, the central location in Austria and the nice landscape. Around 10,000 visitors came every day.

2005
In 2005 the festival took place for three days. The organizers came under fire because many visitors were of the opinion that too many people had been allowed onto the site. It was criticized that the area was not suitable for the 50,000 to 55,000 people. After the Farin Urlaub Racing Team performance , an accident occurred: A bridge leading away from the ring collapsed. The Austrian Red Cross , security and fire brigade were immediately at the scene of the accident. About 30 people were injured, eleven of them had to be taken to hospital. The festival went on anyway, and mass panic did not break out.

2011
In 2011 the festival took place from August 18th to 20th in St. Pölten.
