After Conchita Wurst won Eurovision 2014 in Copenhagen, with her song “Rise Like a Phoenix”, Vienna this week will host Eurovision 2015, on the 60th anniversary of the international song competition.
The main show is accompanied by two semi-finals, as well as a large press junket and fan events around the city, and promises to showcase Vienna’s prowess in hosting international events. In particular, although Vienna is well known for historic buildings and culture (and much deservedly so), the competition offers a chance to the city to show off a fun, youthful and modern side of the city.
The success of Conchita Wurst, a drag performer who famously sports a beard as part of her image, also highlights Vienna’s vibrant lesbian & gay scene, again showing a richer side to life in Vienna than the traditional associations people may have with the city, such as the Habsburgs or Sigmund Freud.
The contest will be held in the Wiener Stadhalle, with a capacity of 16,000 guests, with 39 countries fighting for victory, including Australia, which has been allowed to participate as a 60th anniversary celebration of the contest’s popularity Down Under.
There are 5 function rooms, including the Atrium and The Ward Room. The Atrium is the largest function room in the venue and has a capacity of up to 200 people.

There’s a bar, a stage, a raised area with a grand piano, and a variety of different seating areas on different levels. The Ward room is a large and informal multi-functional space – perfect for meetings and small conferences, presentations or relaxed corporate entertainment.
There are 22 bedrooms as well as a Cabaret Bar, a unique LaZer Battle Arena and a full on site catering team. This space is perfect for yachting and water sports and hosting all kinds of conferences, events and presentations.
