Styria meets 70s disco era. When timeless classics such as “Rivers of Babylon”, “Daddy Cool” and “Ma Baker” by Boney M. are played at midnight on January 10th, 2025, there will be no stopping many guests of the Steirerball. The motto is to sing along and shake along. For Andreas Zakostelsky, chairman of the Styrian Association in Vienna, it is very clear: “Styria and Boney M.’s unforgettable hits complement each other perfectly – both create a great atmosphere.”
Ball visitors can expect a show full of glitter, glamor and spectacular choreographies. The energetic performance and the elaborate costumes promise a thrilling journey back in time to the disco world of the 70s. The midnight performance brings Boney M.’s unforgettable party atmosphere back to the stage. “A performance that the friends of the Steirerball should definitely experience,” Zakostelsky is sure.
Musical diversity
The musical range at the Steirerball is broad: from the atmospheric opening of the ball to the sounds of a large music band from the host region of Eastern Styria, to hearty sounds everywhere thanks to a number of Eastern Styrian music groups, to the DJ in the disco – a local hero from Eastern Styria – you will experience Eastern Styria on Can feel the ball.
“The Steirerball in Vienna is one of our highlights”
“The Edlseer” have been on stage for 30 years and delight their fans. Fritz, Manfred and Andreas are “old hands” at the Steirerball and will be there again on January 10, 2025 – at the opening and also at midnight. Fritz Kristoferitsch, head of “Edlseer”: “It is a great honor for us to be able to be present at the opening of the Steirerball with “A Musikant im Trachtengwand” and the “Dancing Star”. Because these popular numbers represent everything that Styria is – namely customs, down-to-earthness, celebrating festivals and laughing together.”
Vienna and especially the Vienna Hofburg as a location are something special for the people of Edlseen, because you can feel the history of Austria and at the same time feel like you are in Styria. “When I see the dirndls and traditional costumes at the Steirerball, you can feel a lot of heart and tradition. I advise everyone who has never experienced the unique flair of the Steirerball to be there on January 10th. “Look at that,” says the “Edlseer” frontman.
The Koglhofer Plattlermädls
There have been Schuhplattler groups in Koglhof for 41 years – and they have always been men’s groups. In 2014 the local Schuhplattler decided to stop. And this is how the Plattlermädls came into being. “Back then, our boys said they weren’t going to continue, and we girls thought that this tradition should never end,” says Alexandra Putz from the Koglhofer Plattlermädls: “We now have 15 Schuhplattler girls. And even though we’re all girls, we even do lifting figures. We are particularly proud of that.”
At the Steirerball 2025, the Koglhofer Plattlermädls will schuhplattln at midnight in the Vienna Hofburg. “It’s great that we have the opportunity to perform at the Steirerball. We are very happy and are already starting rehearsals. Stay tuned, we’ll come up with something very special,” says Plattermädl Putz.
