Van Gurk - Orpheum Wien - 2026

Orpheum Wien, Wien

A Different Kind of Christmas. Have you always wondered whether Joseph was really that thrilled with his assigned role as the “immaculate father”? Whether Rudi was actually a reindeer—or maybe just a cow after all? Is Christmas with the family simply wonderfully contemplative, or is it perhaps more of a draining and exhausting ordeal? These and other earth-shattering topics—such as love, life in general, affectionate silliness, or death, and the important role of a nightcap—are skillfully woven into songs and presented with honest yet well-meaning banter. Once again, Carl Majneri (guitar/vocals) and Martin Mader (keyboards/vocals) are on board to provide musical accompaniment. It’ll be contemplative, musical, Christmassy, romantic, funny, a bit melancholic—but, based on past experience, it’s sure to be a blast as always.

“A fantastic artist! He’s charismatic, funny, talented—and handsome to boot.

Every concert is a special experience!”
