Schulschluss Open Air - Stefanie Heinzmann and Silent Disco
Summer Concert 2026 with BAC and SANDRA HESCH and Ö3-Silent Disco Afterparty
For the first time, two acts at the end of school at Kufstein Fortress
If the lines “I would be a top model now, it would definitely have worked…” or “Do you want a pink tea or an Oreo soufflé?” immediately give you an earworm, then you can already look forward to the Summer Concert 2026. For everyone who doesn’t know this text yet, they will at the latest know it from Friday, July 3, 2026. For the first time, two acts are invited to dance at the Summer Concert starting at 8 PM in the Fortress Arena next year. The newcomer bac provides real festival feeling and party vibes outdoors with a mix of energetic pop, rap elements, and driving beats, while singer and influencer Sandra Hesch brings modern German-language pop full of humor, emotion, and guaranteed earworms. An evening full of atmosphere and summer feeling is therefore guaranteed.
bac – Sound that conquers the chartsSamuel Bach aka bac (pronounced “bi ey ßi”) from Villach is just 19 years old and is already considered one of the most exciting newcomers in German-speaking pop. With his songs, he initially conquered the viral Spotify Top 50 in the entire DACH region and has now also made it into the official charts in Germany and Austria. His single “Pink Tea” has been creating mass earworms since autumn 2024. Several of his clips went viral on social media and have already reached millions of views. His first tour took place in autumn 2025. Musically, bac skillfully moves between pop and spoken word, with laid-back piano, catchy hooks, and a lightness that still allows for depth. His songs range from playful and love-struck to thoughtful and minimalist, but always unmistakably “bac”: unconventional, fresh, and simple. With his debut EP “Sometimes this, Sometimes that,” he reinforces his reputation as a versatile young artist from Austria and will bring exactly this energy to the Summer Concert at Kufstein Fortress in 2026.
Sandra Hesch - Empowerment pop for a new generationWith over 770,000 followers on TikTok, more than 100,000 subscribers on Instagram, and songs that break the million mark on Spotify, Sandra Hesch is one of the most exciting young pop acts in the German-speaking world. The Vienna-based singer-songwriter hits the nerve of a young generation with her lyrics: Between heartache, self-doubt, and girlfriend talks, empowerment is at the center of her work. “Girls support Girls” is not just a motto but an attitude that is reflected in her songs and gives her community palpable strength. Personal experiences, which she transforms into music in almost a diary-like manner, are combined by Sandra Hesch with catchy pop melodies and one clear goal: to empower, talk about taboo topics, and strengthen self-confidence. She also uses her reach for education, for example, in campaigns against sexual abuse or the danger of knockout drops. Her singles like “Taylor Swift,” “You Problem,” or “Type” are already creating excitement online and will also make the fortress tremble in 2026.
Silent Disco with selectable soundImmediately after bac and Sandra Hesch, the Silent Disco will provide even more party atmosphere. With wireless headphones and two DJs playing house, electro, charts, and oldies on different channels, the Fortress Arena will become a unique outdoor dance floor.
Here, listeners choose their favorite sound. The Summer Concert in Kufstein is not only a musical highlight but also a
special contribution from the city to promote youth and music. It invites everyone to celebrate the end of school and start the upcoming holidays in good spirits.
Tickets are available starting at 29 EUR at the Kufstein Town Hall, in all Raiffeisenbank branches, and at the Ö-Ticket sales points.
