At 2:00 PM, with nearly 30 degrees Celsius and under a bright blue sky, visitors were allowed to enter the grounds. Although the waiting guests could not see the soundcheck of the German cult band Scooter shortly before the start of the festival, they could hear it. Scooter is scheduled as the last act on the Space Stage for Thursday evening in the festival program.

Frequency Festival 2025: Bikini Tops or Topless

The opening on Wednesday was given by the US musician Bartees Strange, born in England, although not in front of a large audience yet. It seemed the heat in the early afternoon was still being avoided. The first guests sought out the shady spots on the festival grounds, and the drinking water dispensers were heavily frequented from the start. Many female visitors preferred bikini tops and shorts for their outfits, while some men went topless with a cap.

The Red Cross primarily treated guests of the camping area for minor injuries such as cuts and abrasions, insect bites, or circulatory problems until the festival began. In total, 128 visitors sought help from paramedics by late morning. Five people were taken to the University Hospital St. Pölten. Camping has been taking place at the Traisen since Monday noon. From the perspective of the executive, the days before the first concerts of the festival were very calm, said city police commander Franz Bäuchler upon request.

"Increasing heat development is forecasted for the coming days. Therefore, we strongly advise taking in sufficient fluids to prevent collapse conditions. Non-alcoholic beverages clearly take precedence," emphasized Gerhard Heilig from the Red Cross in a release. To avoid injuries, sturdy footwear should be worn. In case of health problems, visitors should visit one of the medical support points or request help via the emergency number 144 or the "Rettung" app from Notruf NÖ.

By Friday, ballad singer Shawn Mendes and the two dance icons Kygo and Felix Jaehn will be heard on the various stages. For the finale on Friday, Hollywood star and hip-hop great Will Smith is announced. The British rapper Central Cee will also perform. Over 40,000 people are expected per day at the VAZ grounds. To avoid traffic jams, it is recommended to arrive by public transport. Shuttle buses to the festival grounds are available. At Frequency 2024, around 180,000 visitors were counted.
