About this venue
Kasemattenbühne is an open-air amphitheatre set in the distinctive surroundings of the Schlossberg, combining a historic stone backdrop with the practical features of a modern event venue. As a summer stage with a strong visual identity, it is especially suited to concerts, festival programs, theatre performances, and open-air cultural evenings.
The experience inside the venue is shaped by the closeness of the stage, the natural resonance of the walls, and the atmosphere of performances under the open sky. Visitors value the clear sightlines, the more intimate amphitheatre feel, and the straightforward venue layout, while food, drink, and additional services depend on the event and its organizer.
The venue is located at Schloßberg 5, Graz, Austria. Because it sits on the Schlossberg, access to the entrance usually includes a short walk after ascending the hill, using the Schlossbergbahn, or approaching from nearby access points; parking is generally easier to plan in city garages at the foot of the hill.

About the city: Graz
Graz, the charming capital of Styria, combines a relaxed vibe with the real energy of major events. The city is known for a strong cultural and sports scene, making it a great choice when you want an experience that starts the moment you arrive and only ends after the final applause. On top of that, Graz offers diverse dining and a wide range of accommodation—from elegant hotels close to the center to practical options in well-connected neighborhoods.
Getting in and moving around is straightforward: Graz Linien (trams and buses) links key parts of the city quickly, and transfers are usually intuitive around Jakominiplatz. If you arrive by train, Graz Hauptbahnhof is the main hub with excellent connections to the center and beyond, while Flughafen Graz is a convenient flight option with clear links into town. For wider regional travel, S-Bahn Steiermark is also useful, keeping trips to arenas and stadiums comfortable and predictable.
If you have time before or after the event, Graz rewards you with a walk through its UNESCO-listed old town, filled with cafés, courtyards, and streets that are easy to explore on foot. Head up to Schlossberg and the Uhrturm for the best city views, cross the Mur river and stop by the Murinsel, then continue to Hauptplatz and the old-town lanes. That way, your tickets come with a full city experience—compact, lively, and ideal for a short city break around a concert or a match.
