Stipsits & Band – Austropop lives! - Live Show with Thomas Stipsits

What's it about?

Thomas Stipsits and his band bring a breath of fresh air to Austropop. Captivating music, joy of playing, and strong stage moments – no fan will stand still here. - In June 2025, they first warmed up. Thomas Stipsits called his "team" to the Wiener Orpheum to give a few "warm-up concerts" for Seiler & Speer's stadium spectacle on July 19th at the Happel Stadium. But even at the Orpheum, it was clear that this was not a cover band at work, but highly motivated musicians who would breathe new life into a music genre – Austropop. This was impressively proven at the stadium concert. Numerous bands were engaged there to warm up Seiler & Speer's fans for their "main act." The Schick Sisters with the Opus band, Wolfgang Ambros and the Nr. 1 vom Wienerwald, as well as comedy legend Otto Waalkes and his Friesenjungs were engaged for this. This great supporting program already ran in the afternoon in front of around 40,000 visitors. At 4:30 PM, Thomas Stipsits' band took the stage: Christina Zauner, keyboardist and "boss" of the band Thomas Hechenberger (E-Guit/Backing Vocals) Raphaela Fries (Drums) Michael Mozeth (Bass/Backing Vocals) Chris Harras (Acoustic-Guit/Backing Vocals) As the first notes of "Ollas Leiwaund" were struck, audience favorite Thomas Stipsits stormed onto the stage to his band to thunderous applause from the fans. This was followed by a short high mass of Austropop, full of joy and energy. Strictly speaking, it was the teaser for the high mass that the band will celebrate in the future and that will ultimately make the audience unanimously confess: Austropop lives!
