After more than 10 years and (at least) six different locations, the „Austria Rock“ event – or „Austria Party“ as it was called while beeing hosted at „8below“ – will no longer exist. Time for a little retrospective …

First of all I’d like to mention that in the beginning Stefan Böhm of weltmarke.de took care about the visual appearance of the event, so anything I did in the many years that followed is based on his work – credits to Stefan!

R&T hostet some special Austria Rock events like the „Oktoberfest edition“ in 2014, the „Carneval edition“ in 2015 or the …

… Austria Rock 10th anniversary party in 2015. Due to closure this was also the last Austria Rock event at R&T and the show had to go on at …

… the 8below club. The document in the bottom right corner is an old Austrian passport.

At some point of time at 8below the name of the event was changed to „Austria Party“ – as to be seen on this flyer for a christams special,

This is the last „special“ flyer I did for Austria Party. The event will pop up every now and then at small locations but no longer on a regular basis. And „DJ Kneissel“ is planning on something completely new …
