Lusterboden

In the artist's words:

Has anyone actually heard of Lusterboden yet?

Let’s put it this way: In the Vienna scene, you come across the name—yes, it’s as unique as Bilderbuch or Buntspecht—all the time. As an insider tip. As something that’s actually not really an insider tip anymore. As the next big thing. As an unstoppable newcomer. As a phenomenon.

Florian and Merlin: a duo with a mind of their own

Yet at its core, this band consists of just two young musicians: the duo Florian Klingler and Merlin Miglinci. They don’t look left or right, don’t care about the new Wienerlied or old Austropop, don’t have their eyes on Ö3 or FM4 (okay, Radio Wien would be nice!), but instead sweep everything aside with youthful enthusiasm, irresistible charm, and a dash of boldness. Word of mouth, baby! Lusterboden blends local color and pop with a dialect that hovers between Viennese and Standard German. Their songs tell poetic and humorous stories about everyday life in Vienna—and their audience just keeps growing and growing and growing.

From “Sturz auf Wien” to “Na Bravo”: a band on the rise

With their debut album “Sturz auf Wien” (2024), Lusterboden laid the foundation—without major label backing, but with streaming numbers that developed magnificently. Astonishingly magnificently. 

The next step followed in 2026: “Na Bravo” —their second album, preceded by singles like “Vespa fahren, ” “Schmusen, ” “Kirschen spucken, ” “Träumen Haarausfall,” and “Burschen weinen nicht.” If you want to hop on board this unstoppable train of success: Now would be the perfect time to jump in!

Lusterboden live: from Vienna to Nuremberg

The 2026 tour schedule reads like a declaration of love for festival culture between Vienna and the German-speaking world: Donauinselfest, Wienerfest, Heimatsound, Innsbruck, Nuremberg Pop, Linz, Graz—Lusterboden are everywhere right now.
