Donaufest Factory Killo Killo Banda vs [dunkelbunt]

It is the idea of overcoming boundaries and discovering new horizons that lies behind the IDF Factory encounter project. In 2026, we will be presenting concert evenings of a special kind for the fifth time. These special concerts are indexed and realised premieres of the Donaufest and promise unforgettable live moments. On two evenings, the four formations will present their own repertoire as well as the results of rehearsals in Novi Sad, Vienna and Ulm. The aim of their time together was to develop pieces in which the souls of both bands intertwine and the musicians become a „new band“.

Killo Killo Banda vs [dark coloured]  

Beats without Borders - from east to west - Reggae, Rocksteady, Latin, Balkanbeats

The international factory brings together two formations that have both played rousing concerts at the Donaufest in the past.

Killo Killo Banda from Novi Sad stand for down-to-earth reggae, rocksteady and ska, while the Viennese by choice dunkelbunt is one of the pioneers of fusing Southeast European Folklore, Klezmer and Swing has made a melodious name for itself. For the 2026 edition of the „Donaufest Factory“, the two bands have reorganised their musical threads and woven them into a tapestry of sound for the concert that stretches openly and without borders from East to West.

We can expect a concert that fills the term world music with joy of playing, surprising beat fusions and musical encounters.
