From Austria Comic Con to Donauinselfest and Lakelive Festival, here are the summer events across Austria and Switzerland where you can try a Bagjump airbag.

Die Sommer in Europa sind anders. Sie fühlen sich besonders an, und es ist kein Wunder, warum. Es ist die Zeit, in der die Menschen am glücklichsten sind, in der das lange Tageslicht einem das Gefühl gibt, dass jeder Tag ein Urlaub ist, und in der die sonnigen Tage dazu motivieren, hinauszugehen und die Natur zu erkunden.

Of course, let’s not forget the massive summer music festivals, cultural events, and adventure activities that can only happen at this time of the year. This year, Bagjump will be participating in some of these events, and in this article, we want to give you a guide to where they are, what’s happening at these events, and what to expect from us.

Take your phone and open your calendar. It’s time to take some notes.

Österreich Comic Con

Standort: Messe Wels, Wels, Austria Typical dates: Late April Bagjump setup: An awesome freedrop with our Bagjump Standalone Airbag

Austria’s Comic Con is the top event in the country for pop culture, and not dropping by as a fan is definitely missing out. The event brings fans of comics, movies, TV shows, and gaming all together in a single location.

There is a whole party atmosphere with international stars making appearances, cosplay competitions that will leave your mouth open, and cool side events that make the whole Comic Con even more inclusive and fun. Bagjump adds to the excitement with a Freedrop Setup, allowing fans to channel their inner superhero and experience the thrill of jumping from 4 meters into one of our airbags. Are you ready to take the lead?

Beat the City Serie - Linz, Graz, Innsbruck, Wien

Locations: Linz, Graz, Innsbruck, and Vienna, Austria Typical dates: Late May through late July, one stop per city Bagjump setup: A 22 meter wide Standalone with 5 platforms

Forget a Ninja Warrior course. Beat the City in Austria is the event to go to. This obstacle race is not for the faint-hearted. Get ready to test your endurance and see how far you can make it by challenging yourself with over 20 different obstacles spread across different urban settings.

From wall climbing to obstacle challenges, this is a test of your agility on the streets. The Bagjump multi-platform setup is one of the highlights, as the challenges involving a Bagjump feature some high-flying sets and lots of adrenaline.

Donauinselfest

Standort: Danube Island, Vienna, Austria Typical dates: Late June, weekend Bagjump setup: Freedrops with 4m, 6m, and 10m platforms

If you are a regular festival-goer, you have heard about the Donauinselfest. With around 3 million visitors over the weekend, this is considered by many as the largest open-air music festival in the world.

Beyond the music, the festival offers many different activities, food stalls, and cultural exhibits. You could spend two days just checking out activities and still not have enough time to dance. For this event, Bagjump takes the festival experience to the next level, and together with our partner Adrenalin Company, there is at least one setup with freedrops from different heights every year.

Heiß in der Stadt - Wien

Standort: Gänsehäufel, Vienna, Austria Typical dates: Late June Bagjump setup: A freedrop to test your limits and more

Celebrating the end of the school year, Hot in the City is Austria’s largest youth festival. It brings approximately 30,000 participants, and you can expect live music acts, sports activities, and different entertainment options. Of course, by different entertainment options, we mean one very special one, a Bagjump setup for attendees to conquer their fear of heights and reach new limits.

Lakelive-Festival

Standort: Expo Park, Biel, Switzerland Typical dates: Late July into early August, ten days Bagjump setup: More and more freedrops

Lakelive Festival is a celebration of music. The event features live music acts, sports, and culture, all set against the beautiful Lake Biel in Switzerland. Life can’t get better than this.

With over 40 concerts across different music genres, from indie pop to hip-hop, the festival offers an amazing lineup. Recent editions have featured artists like Lenny Kravitz, Macklemore, Amy Macdonald, Milky Chance, and James Blunt. With additional beach activities, art installations, and culinary delights, the Bagjump setup adds an adventurous twist to the ten day run.

From pop culture conventions to music festivals and obstacle races, the European summer offers plenty of opportunities to engage with Bagjump. Whether you already know our airbags well and want to try new stunts, or it is your first time in front of a freedrop, drop by any of these events and experience the thrill of landing on an airbag.
