Primavera Pro offers the ideal setting to channel synergies between professionals from different areas of the sector and is the perfect opportunity to expand networks and soak up the latest trends in the international music scene.

AUSTRIAN HEARTBEATS – SCHEDULE

THU 30th MAY @ DAY PRO STAGE

FRI 31st MAY @ NIGHT PRO STAGE

The Austrian “supergroup” 5K HD plays with partly acoustic, partly electronic sounds and without ever losing sight of a pop sensibility while moving fluently through jazz, dubstep, breakbeats, funk and even into a prog rock escalation. Their singer Mira Lu Kovacs (Schmieds Puls) is regarded as one of the most expressive voices in the scene. 5K HD released their debut “And To In A” to international critical acclaim in 2017, followed by lauded performances and sold out shows all over Europe.
In April 2019, 5K HD released their very latest song “In, Out”, giving us a glimpse of what their next album may sound like. Magnificent structures are built up and then suddenly smashed and deconstructed – be it joyful or painful, 5K HD are always super precise. The release of “In, Out” led Radio FM4 to publish a review entitled “Why 5K HD is one of the best bands in the country.
