The comeback of a legend!
Since the early 2000s, the Nuke Festival has been known beyond Austria’s borders and has established a firm place in the festival league with its cross-genre line-ups. Acts such as Coldplay, Seed and The Chemical Brothers have been among the most celebrated artists in recent years. After a creative break in 2016, the success story is now being continued in the vibrant cultural city of Graz – more modern, sustainable and exciting than ever before. In 2025, the Nuke Festival will focus on environmentally friendly concepts, including recycling stations, sustainable catering and a COâ‚‚-reduced event concept.
The first headliners ...
With Paul Kalkbrenner, Nuke is bringing an absolute world star of electronic music to Graz. The exceptional Berlin artist inspires with his unique style and captivating live sets that combine soulful and driving sounds. With its mix of electronic and organic sounds, Klangkarussell creates an atmosphere that invites you to both dream and dance. Alexander Eder will also rock the stage with his emotional songs and energetic performances. And that’s just the first three big names! Many other musical heavyweights will be on stage at the Graz festival highlight of the year.
