The story

Elevate Festival Graz in Graz

Elevate Festival Graz is a winter festival, founded in 2005, that combines experimental and electronic music with a serious program of political and social discourse. Talks and workshops fill Forum Stadtpark and the Kunsthaus Graz by day, while club nights and concerts take over venues including Dom im Berg, a hall cut into the Schlossberg.

Elevate Festival Graz began in 2005, growing out of a 2003 event called Exit-Space that had examined local cultural policy in the city.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Elevate's defining trait is its refusal to separate music from ideas: the same festival pass covers a panel on digital surveillance and a late-night electronic set

02

The mystery stays covered

Its venues are unusual by design, from Dom im Berg's rock-hewn chamber inside the Schlossberg to the biomorphic Kunsthaus Graz, giving the discourse and performance programs distinctive physical settings rather than generic conference halls

03

The city starts moving

The festival has built a reputation for booking speakers well ahead of mainstream political and tech discourse curves
