Eurosonic-Noorderslag creative director Peter Smidt (2nd L) discusses "How Many Festivals Can A Market Take?" with music journalist Edo Plovanic, Reinhold Seyfriedsberger from Ink Music agency and Exit Festival's Dragan Ambrozic Oct. 3.

The WUK, one of the biggest cultural centers in Austria’s capital, already adds three new live floors to the event. On top of that, organizers were able to add Café Weimar, Palme, Exnersaal, Clash, Schubert Theater und Festsaal to the venue lineup.

Waves Vienna first took place in 2011. Last year a central European edition was launched, which takes place during the same time in Bratislava, Slovakia.
