General

In short: The Coronafest is an independent music online stream festival

The long story:

We, the CoronaFest, are a joint project by event industry professionals to promote Austrian indie bands during the Covid-19 crisis. The concept is simple: While, due to important regulations to curb the Covid-19 pandemic, venues are not allowed to be visited, and music enthusiasts as well as numerous musicians have no chance to celebrate this type of social and cultural gathering, we offer precisely these musicians a stage.

Aus einer gemütlichen und persönlichen Filmstudio-Atmosphäre senden wir via professionell produziertem online Video-Stream tägliche, kostenlose Live-Konzerte direkt in den Facebook-, YouTube-, Mixer- oder Twitch-Feed der Zuseher. Unter den auftretenden Bands sind dabei nicht nur die Créme de la Créme  der aufstrebenden IndependentSzene zu finden sondern auch  but also established greats from blues, rock, funk, soul, country or jazz. 

The central part of these exclusive “living room concerts” is the “Virtual Tip Jar”. Fans who are enthusiastic about music, but also all other supporters of the indie scene, have the opportunity to show emerging musicians their appreciation by paying small amounts online and thus  Support artists during the crisis.

The stream will be available on following platforms:

No. The streaming offer is absolutely free. *

Du hast jedoch die Möglichkeit, wenn es dir besonders gut gefällt, der Band sowie dem ehrenamtlichen Technik-Personal als Dankeschön unterstützend einen kleinen Betrag zukommen zu lassen.

* Please note that the data consumption for video streams may be higher than your usual data consumption.

Of course, it is also our greatest concern to ensure safety, so the following provisions apply to all productions:

  • Mouth / nose protection must be worn at all times and by everyone involved. Only exceptions may be musicians during their performance and shortly before to put on their make-up, etc.

  • Safety distances of at least 1 meter are maintained both on and behind the stage as well as backstage.

  • Technical equipment is operated with disposable gloves without exception.

  • Microphones and similar items are disinfected before and after each show.

Our project serves to promote the independent club music scene. Any help is of course more than welcome.

In addition, money is collected with a virtual tip jar, which is easily distributed to you and the volunteering technicians. (Distribution: total donations divided by people = donation per person)

You may also freely use the filmed material as well as a professional multitrack recording.
