The sixth edition of the LIVEUROPE FESTIVAL will take place in Linz on December 5 and 6, hosted by the Austrian venue Posthof. And we’re in for a triple celebration in this edition, as 2024 marks three major anniversaries: 10 years of Liveurope, 40 years of Posthof, and 30 years of mica – music austria!
The flagship festival is an annual meeting point for music venue professionals and a space for music lovers to discover the next generation of European talent. Each year, the festival rotates between our member venues, and after last year’s edition in Prague, we are excited to be headed to the capital of Oberösterreich (Upper Austria).
And we’re in for a triple celebration in this edition, as 2024 marks three major anniversaries: 10 years of Liveurope, 40 years of Posthof, and 30 years of mica – music austria!
