VOODOO JÜRGENS und die "Ansa Panier" LIVE 2026

Gschnas is the fourth Voodoo Jürgens album.
A new phase Voodoo Jürgens album.

Three years after the masterpiece Wie die Nocht noch jung wor, he is back as a pop star against his will. Last year, he won the Austrian Film Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in Adrian Goiginger's hit movie Rickerl. For the albums before that, he received a string of Amadeus Awards, i.e. Austro-Grammys, and all his tours throughout the German-speaking world are regularly sold out.

Now it was time to take stock again. The Beisl biotope was yesterday. Precisely because the numerous Voodoo epigones have enjoyed peddling it for years. Now it's all about the wide world out there. And the small one inside: the one in your own soul.

The lyrics and sound on Gschnas für Voodoo are about your own autonomy, the rebirth of inspiration, pedaling free from the typical Austrian confinement that pushes you down. In short: it's about everything. The energy with which he and his band, who are on fire, ride out this masterpiece of an album, the joy of playing and the self-confidence with which an artist rethinks without giving up what he has developed and revitalizes himself in the process.

Exorcism on the open heart, so to speak, and we are there live!

Plus his best melodies, his truest lyrics, his most urgent performances, and a Wolfgang Lehman (AKA Möstl) production that smells like a magnum opus to everyone involved. It can do something. And not only that. An album born out of doubt, for which it rains carnival doughnuts at the end. An album as an event, in a time that has forgotten itself.

"And everyone should get something out of it!" Voodoo implores us in perhaps the most successful song of his career to date. A self-fulfilling prophecy. Or also: Voodoo magic that works and works and works...!
