\"linz09_hvg_europa468433\"The Journey as Concert<\/strong><\/p>\n

He who returns from a long journey has much to tell. He brings impressions and gifts with him. The Festival of Turning Points.<\/p>\n

The LINZ EUROPA HARBORFEST set for July 3-5, 2009 is the culminating highlight of the LINZ EUROPA TOUR 2007 \u2013 2009 starring Hubert von Goisern. As Linz09\u2019s goodwill ambassador, he sailed his waterborne stage up and down Central Europe\u2019s great river road. Now, he\u2019ll be joined in Linz by his musical traveling companions and some of the local acts featured at concerts along the way. So all those who weren\u2019t able to make it to the Black Sea or Amsterdam have the opportunity to experience these incredible musical encounters in Linz\u2014not on board ship, but still with Hubert von Goisern on stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LINZ EUROPA HARBORFEST is going to be a one-of-a-kind festival of encounters both for the audience as well as for the participating musicians. I know all the people who accompanied me on the LINZ EUROPA TOUR 2007 \u2013 2009, but many of them never had any direct contact with one another. I hope everyone has a good feeling about the program. I\u2019m really looking forward to this musical get-together!\u201d
\nHubert von Goisern<\/p>\n

In early July 2009, Linz Harbor will be the site of the grand finale of an extended journey. Hubert von Goisern and his band and many of the artists who joined them on board the concert ship will be reunited on a land-bound stage in Linz to celebrate a Europe that has been brought a bit closer together. A three-day concert featuring artists from East and West will revive the manifold energies and synergies that emerged during both legs of the tour. There\u2019ll be blaring Hard Rock, effervescent Pop and even a bit of yodeling from the remotest regions of the Alps. In short: a climactic sensation! Plus: the artists will be convening in and around Linz even before the big weekend to get geared up musically and emotionally for a concert series that will conclude this multi-year tour in high style.<\/p>\n

The lineup promises a high-energy concert event. Performers include Wolfgang Niedecken & BAP, Claudia Koreck, Haindling, Haydamaky, Karandila, Klaus Doldinger\u2019s Passport, K\u00f6ster\/Hocker & Band, Loredana Groza, Philipp Poisel & Band, Rambo Amadeus, Stelzhamma, Willi Resetarits & Stubnblues andZdob si Zdub.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Harborfest is stacking up as a sort of European summit meeting of pop music. Here, East and West are convening both on-stage and throughout the festival grounds. Concertgoers are in for a one-of-a-kind European musical extravaganza and an experience that will touch their hearts and minds as well.\u201d
