19.45h live, MQ Main Courtyard: EsRAP & Gasmac Gilmore
"EsRAP" have established themselves as a role model of Austrian resistant pop art with a migrant background. The duo's music is characterized by the mixture of Turkish/German rap, modern beats combined with traditional arabesque. With "Gasmac Gilmore" the two siblings Esra and Enes Özmen got a top-class band on board, which since the anthem "Freunde dabei" proves to be a logical musical extension towards "Balkan Sounds with Spaghetti Western Touch".

21:15h live, MQ Main Courtyard: Clara Luzia
"Clara Luzia" creates a powerful sound with her current band, consisting of Wolfgang Möstl (guitar), Peter Paul Aufreiter (bass), Catharina Priemer-Humpel (drums) and Philipp Staufer on the mixing desk, that doesn't shy away from rock clichés like guitar and drum solos, but still stays true to an indie ethos.
