Waves Vienna, 1-3 October 2026, Wien, Österreich

Ideally situated to act as a bridge between Eastern Europe and the West, Vienna is the perfect location for a conference/festival aiming to link the two worlds. Which makes the conference/festival Waves Vienna a prime destination for anyone from the West seeking closer contact with a still rather neglected part of the industry in the East, and vice versa. This year, SME is inviting all professionals to a casual networking event at Kaffeehaus Hummel, complete with coffee, cake and perhaps even a glass of wine.

These three Swiss acts are appearing live at this year’s Waves Vienna:

Blanche Biau: A visual artist from Zurich, Blanche Biau combines woozily shoe-gazerish guitars with 80s-style synths and eerie vocals to darkly atmospheric effect.

Gina Ete: A much-in-demand multi-instrumentalist and arranger, Eté describes her sumptuously multilayered music as “hybrid pop”. However complex her lyrics and arrangements are, she never loses sight of melodic beauty.

BEURRE: Consisting of members from Coilguns, Closet Disco Queen and Film 2, the Humus-signed experimental hyper-metal trio delve into dissonant heaviness to hypnotically ear-splitting effect.
