For more than ten years, Wanda – “perhaps the last important rock’n’roll band of our generation” (Musikexpress quote) – have cemented their place among the greatest domestic bands in music history with every album release. So far, their five longplayers “Amore” (2014), “Bussi” (2015), “Niente” (2017), “Ciao!” (2019) and “Wanda” (2022) have been in the charts for well over 300 weeks in total. The number of gold and platinum awards and various music prizes that the Austrian cult band has won in the meantime is no less impressive. At the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards 2023, they went one better by winning the top categories “Album of the Year” and “Live Act of the Year”.

An ecstatic force on stage, the band has been playing ever bigger sold-out tours and festivals in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for years. And the demand is unbroken. “If German-language rock’n’roll was dead, then Wanda have revived it,” says detektor.fm about the early days of this band, who catapulted themselves into the radio playlists and the hearts of fans at the same time with “Amore” in 2014. Where they can still be found almost a decade later.

“There was never a plan B, there was only life as a problem, music and success or not,” says singer Marco Wanda, expressing a hint of the band’s philosophy in one of the hundreds of interviews. This uncompromising attitude can also be felt live. The years between stage, tour bus and studio merge into one long tightrope act without a safety net. And the energy at every concert invariably sweeps the audience away. In recent years, Wanda have unleashed their live power for hundreds of thousands of concertgoers – in the smallest club, the largest hall or open air in front of 100,000 fans on Vienna’s Danube Island. As a comeback after the forced break due to coronavirus, they filled the Wiener Stadthalle twice, and fans have not seemed to get enough of the band since. Wanda’s performances are always epochal.

Speaking of epochal and legendary: that’s exactly what it will be at “WANDA LIVE 2024” on the open air stages of our country – the next opportunity to experience the exceptional musicians live on home soil.
