Vienna has a surprisingly deep post‑punk / darkwave / synth undercurrent: small rooms with real character, strong club nights, and a constant overlap between indie, electronic, and darker alternative scenes. If you’re into the space between The Cure, Depeche Mode, coldwave, and modern dark synth pop — 2026 is stacked.
TL;DR
- 04/04/2026: MTTM + LUARR — Das LOT (our highlighted Vienna date)
- 24/03/2026: Lord of the Lost — SiMM City (dark, theatrical, heavy)
- 10/04/2026: NOIR Club Night #4 — Das LOT (dancefloor energy)
- 02/05/2026: She Past Away — Szene Wien (darkwave essential)

5) Scene staples worth bookmarking (venues + recurring nights)
These aren’t single “one‑date concerts”, but they’re where Vienna’s alternative crowd actually gathers year‑round:
- Chelsea (Vienna) — Lerchenfelder Gürtel (U‑Bahnbögen 29–30), 1080 Wien
Concert listings: https://www.chelsea.co.at/ - Flex (Vienna) — large alternative venue by the Donaukanal
Programme: https://flex.at/ - Cabaret Fledermaus — dark / wave nights happen regularly (check schedule before you go)
If you’re visiting Vienna specifically for darkwave/post‑punk, these spots help you “fill the gaps” between the headline dates.
About Das LOT (why it’s a great match for darkwave nights)
Das LOT is a hybrid art space / production studio / event venue inside the Brotfabrik Wien area — industrial vibe, high ceilings, and a programming style that tends to welcome experimental and alternative bookings. For darkwave nights, that atmosphere just works.
Practical tips for a smooth Vienna show night
- Public transport is the move (U‑Bahn + tram).
- Doors vs. start can vary a lot in Vienna. If a listing only shows one time, assume it might be “start time” and arrive earlier for good spots.
- Bring cash + card just in case — smaller venues can be inconsistent.
