Vienna Sound Fest Gives HIGH END Visitors More to Hear

Vienna Sound Fest 2026 will run from 4th to 7th June at Tech Gate Vienna, a short walk from the Austria Center Vienna, where HIGH END Vienna makes its long-awaited debut after leaving Munich. The new event has been created as an additional high-end audio platform during show week, giving international brands another place to present systems and host demonstrations when space at the main venue is at a premium.

With HIGH END’s move to Vienna already reshaping the calendar for manufacturers, distributors, press and visiting enthusiasts, Vienna Sound Fest looks set to become a useful overflow space for brands wanting a more focused demonstration environment away from the busiest parts of the main exhibition.

Among the exhibitors will be Vinnie Rossi and AudioNostrum, who will present a system built around the Vinnie Rossi Brama Series preamplifier and monoblock power amplifiers driving the AudioNostrum Saturn loudspeaker system.

The companies are positioning the room as a more intimate listening experience, with analogue and digital music playback used to show the system’s balance of scale, texture and emotional connection. That is, of course, familiar high-end language, but the appeal is obvious: after hours of navigating a major international show, a smaller, more controlled listening space can often be where some of the more memorable demonstrations happen.

Visitors will find Vinnie Rossi and AudioNostrum at Tech Gate Vienna, Stage 1.4, from 4th to 7th June. Vienna Sound Fest takes place at the Techgate Building, Donau-City-Straße 1, 1220 Wien, Austria. Opening hours are 11:00am to 7:00pm from Thursday to Saturday, and 11:00am to 2:00pm on Sunday. Admission is free.

The wider Vienna Sound Fest exhibitor list includes Artesania Audio, Argento Audio, AudioNostrum, Carbide Audio, DS Audio, Engstrom, Esoteric, Hifistay, Marten, Pilium, Stage III Concepts, Taiko Audio, Tannoy, TEAC, Telos Audio, TechDAS, Torus Power, Kroma Atelier, Kuzma, Vinnie Rossi, Wadax, Wattson Audio, YG Acoustics and Ypsilon.

For showgoers already attending HIGH END Vienna, the timing and location make Vienna Sound Fest an easy addition to the itinerary. More importantly, it underlines just how much momentum now sits around Vienna’s first year as the new home of the high-end audio industry’s most important European gathering.
