Thank you for an unforgettable Elevate Festival 2026

Four intense days of music, art and discourse came to a successful close with Elevate Festival 2026, held under the motto “Vital Signs.” The 22nd edition of the festival recorded around 12,000 visits, once again attracting many international guests to Graz and turning the city into a vibrant meeting point for contemporary culture, club music and socio-political debate. Mild early spring weather provided the perfect setting for the festival.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all visitors who shaped Elevate 2026 with their curiosity, openness and energy. It is you who bring this festival to life every year.

Special thanks also go to our fantastic team. With their tireless dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm, our employees and contributors made Elevate 2026 possible – and turned it into an experience that will linger long in the memory.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our funders, sponsors, partners and supporters. Their continuous support and trust in our work are the foundation that makes it possible to realise a festival of this size.
