MIKADU Festival
MIKADU Festival is a one-day, non-commercial cultural project by and for FLINTA+ newcomers in music, art, and design. It offers young talents a stage to experiment, network, and gain first experiences - without barriers. Special focus is placed on diversity, fair pay, and a safe, inspiring space.
The first edition took place in Munich in August 2025 with great success. In August 2026, it will continue in Vienna. The festival includes live music, photography, art, tattoos, and much more!
In addition to the regular evening and day ticket, there is a support ticket, through which you can explicitly support the event. The proceeds go toward realizing the festival and to the artists who are part of the event.
