Poolbar Festival 2026: Batman & The Mighty Antiheroes + Topsy Turvy

What's it about?

UH! Batman & The Mighty Antiheroes 20 years of UH!-Batman – the legend returns to the Poolbar Festival! None of the five sad figures in the audience of the first UH!-Batman concert at the Poolbar Festival exactly 20 years ago dared to foresee this steep, international garage punk career. Since then, however, Gotham's most famous son has rushed from highlight to highlight! As a crimefighter, he keeps our streets safe. With his music combo "The Mighty Antiheroes" he deafens the eardrums of Gotham City's residents. And as a heated blanket producer, he keeps the feet of thousands of freezing people warm. His record releases are full of hits, storm the international charts and are snatched from his hands by his millions of fans wherever he goes. Hot, greasy, sweaty and ecstatic stage shows full of exoticism line his path to the top of the Rock'n'Roll Olympus. Exactly this state of absolute rapture, this fever dream, UH!-Batman now finally brings back to the Poolbar Festival! When the busiest man in show business enters the stage, there are no compromises, no ifs, no buts. Don't miss this cracker! Step closer! You absolutely must experience this sensation for yourself!

Putnik, World Infamous Dipsomatic Recording Wizzard) Topsy Turvy Theresa Strohmer: Guitar + Vocals/ Keys Victoria Aron: Bass + Vocals/ Keys Lena Pöttinger: Drums + Vocals (positions are often swapped) Topsy Turvy are ready for battle. With their space-age glam look, "Fighting the Ginormous Macho Nacho" is the second album from the Viennese trio, which is disrespectful, clever and always playful. With instrument swapping, operatic vocals and plenty of Van Halen synthesizers, the band weaves an uneasy mix of garage punk, surf, vintage rock and psychedelia, drawing on the legendary "Girls In The Garage" compilations and extending to the snarling defiance of Amyl and The Sniffers or Automatic. Born from the collaborative scene of a productive DIY scene in Vienna, it is not only the band's most focused work to date, but also a hymn to the independent spirit, a living, breathing rebellion against toxic "Macho Nacho" men around the world.
