# EB Festival Vienna: Line-up announced!
The line-ups for 2013's EB Festival season are pretty sweet, if we do
say so ourselves. The showcases in [Podgorica][1]{: target="_blank"} and
[Dresden][2]{: target="_blank"} (which have already been announced)
feature some of our favorite contemporary artists
including [Disclosure][3]{: target="_blank"}, [Mount Kimbie][4]{:
target="_blank"} and [Woodkid][5]{: target="_blank"}. With our Vienna
edition, however, we wanted to bring you something a bit different in
the form of a headliner... something a touch more legendary for the
suitably glamorous location of [Museumsquartier][6]{: target="_blank"}.
Electronic Beats is proud to announce that production legend and daddy
of EuroDisco [Giorgio Moroder][7]{: target="_blank"} will be performing
with us for the very first time. Aside from his work as a soundtrack
composer for various films such as *Scarface*, *American Gigolo* and
*The Neverending Story, *Moroder is also responsible for a number of
hits on his own and in collaboration with other musicians including
disco legend [Donna Summer][8]{: target="_blank"} (including [this][9]{:
target="_blank"} unforgettable number) and The Human League's Phil
Oakey. Expect the dancefloor to get a bit cinematic. Next in the lineup
is Danish synth-poppers [When Saints Go Machine][10]{: target="_blank"},
who earlier this year released their newest and darkest album
Infinity Pool. We always love seeing artists shake up their
formulas, so we're definitely looking forward to seeing how that has
changed their live show from [the last time we saw them][11]{:
target="_blank"}.
Joining us will also be avant-garde musician [Laurel Halo][12]{:
target="_blank"}, whose 2012 album [*Quarantine*][13]{:
target="_blank"} is still on rotation in our editorial offices. Her new
album *Chance of Rain* will just have come out, juxtaposing her
slow-burning, subtle beauty with analog techno for the perfect balance
to [Metro Area][14]{: target="_blank"}. The duo of electronic music
veteran Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani are bringing their love of
brightly-shining, hip-shaking nu-disco and house all the way from
Brooklyn, making for diverse dancefloor action all night long. Opening
the party will be local DJ and promoter [Wolfram][15]{:
target="_blank"}, whose exploits with [Lady Gaga][16]{: target="_blank"}
are still talked about around these parts. If you still feel like
dancing, be sure to hit up the official EB afterparty celebrating 20
years of [Kompakt Records][17] at [Pratersauna][18]{:
target="_blank"} featuring live sets from Kölsch and [Saschienne][19]{:
target="_blank"} and DJ sets from [Sascha Funke ][20]{:
target="_blank"}and [Terranova][21]{: target="_blank"}. EB Festival
wristbands not only get the discounted price of €7 ([everyone else pays
€15][22]{: target="_blank"}), they also get fast-tracked, guaranteed
entry.
**UPDATE:** Unfortunately, all regular tickets have now sold out.
However, there's still a chance to get hold of the last remaining
tickets via our voucher giveaway---[go here for details][23].
