Poolbar Festival 2026: Xavier Rudd

What's it about?

He is one of Australia's most famous musicians and has a worldwide fan base. Wherever the self-proclaimed surfer Xavier Rudd performs, concert tickets sell like hotcakes. The Poolbar audience also loves his music, which ranges from folk to world music and reggae, dearly: he has already left an inspired audience in Feldkirch twice. The man from southeastern Australia has been active in the music scene for over 25 years. He is also known for his social and ecological commitment, which is reflected in his song lyrics. For example, Rudd advocates for the concerns of Australia's indigenous population. And despite the often profound themes, his acoustically oriented songs sound light and carefree. This summer, the musician will have his latest EP "Where To Now" with him, among other things. (dob)
