A Very Gen-Z Experience: Dani Lia in Vienna
After kicking off her Seele Berühren Tour 2026 in Munich, Austrian singer Dani Lia, who now lives in Berlin, returned to her home country for a special stop at Vienna's intimate B72. Walking along the Wiener Gürtel, you could already hear the excited squeals of younger fans before the show had even started.
Once inside, visitors were immediately greeted by her beautifully designed posters, T-shirts and boxershorts featuring the name of the city the concert was taking place in. Walking further into the venue, it became clear that the stage backdrop was a piece of white fabric with the same red print as the T-Shirt from her new baby T EP.
Even before the show started, fans quickly lined up in front of the stage to secure a good spot to see the support act, Yola. Her younger audience in particular seemed to resonate strongly with her lyrics and at one point she even invited a fan onto the stage to sing part of a song with her. After playing one or two unreleased songs, the crowd lit up the room with their phone flashlights during one of Yola’s more emotional tracks, "stabiler verlierer". After her performance, there was a short break during which songs by artists like BIBIZA and Ikkimel were played, and the very young Gen-Z audience in the front clearly loved them.
Finally, on stage, Dani Lia immediately shared how nervous she was about this tour stop, as many of her family and friends were in the crowd. This nervousness quickly seemed to dissipate, however, when she managed to get the crowd to scream „fuck!“ with her during the song "du küsst jetzt jemand anderen:/". She not only shared anger, but also sadness with the crowd as some fans started crying during her emotional confession song "seele berührst" and held up paper heart cutouts during a later song.
The crowd seemed especially excited for Dani Lia and Yola's collaboration, "ausnahmsweise," which was performed as an encore. For the final song of the night, Dani Lia performed her new track "schwindelig (omgomgomg)". Fitting the lyrics, the crowd began spinning in circles before the night ended with one last photo together.

Usually you'll find me at a concert, somewhere between barricade and moshpit or of course behind my camera. I love not only documenting the energy on stage, but also capturing the little moments in between. Vienna based:)
