You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.161.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:07, 1 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''((Lang|de|Donauinselfest))''' (German for "[[Donauinsel|Danube Island]] Festival") is a free [[Open-air concert|open-air]] [[music festival]] which occurs annually at [[Donauinsel]] in [[Vienna]], Austria. The festival is hosted by [[SPÖ Vienna|SPÖ Wien]]. It is the largest open-air music festival in the world, with around 3 million visitors over 3 days.<ref>((Cite news |last=team |first=Reality Check |date=4 July 2018 |title=What's the world's biggest music festival? |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44697302 |access-date=11 September 2020))</ref>

==The event==
Performances take place in the festival area which is 4.5&nbsp;km long and consists of 11 different open-air stages in 16 tented areas around the island. Stages are added or removed depending on the performance lineup. Local bands, DJs, and many world-famous artists have performed at the festival since its beginning in 1984.

According to numerous media reports, the Donauinselfest is among Europe's biggest open-air festivals with over 3 million visitors.

To ensure the safety of visitors, "house rules" were introduced in 2007 and checkpoint controls were established to help control certain items (such as glass and liquor inside the festival perimeter).<ref>[http://2007.donauinselfest.at/download/HausPlatzordnung_en_DIF07.pdf Rules of the house as of 2007]</ref>

Food stands offer a variety of [[Austrian cuisine|Austrian]] and [[international cuisine]], including [[Thailand|Thai]], [[Greece|Greek]], [[Italian cuisine|Italian]], [[Indian cuisine|Indian]], and [[Turkey|Turkish]]. Although all concerts are free, financial experts estimate the event generates €40&nbsp;million in city revenue due to increased tourism.<ref>[http://www.boerse-express.com/pages/581184/overridexsl=be/all_left boerse-express.com 2007-06-18 (German)]</ref>

Traffic connection (how to get there):

* [[Austrian Federal Railways|OEBB]] Travel Portal (trains)
* [[Austrian Airlines]]
* [[Wiener Linien]] (public transport in Vienna)

Areas referred to as "islands" are sponsored by radio stations, newspapers, and other companies.

==Rock the Island Contest==
The winners of the RTIC (Rock the Island Contest), which is focusing on the support of talented Austrian newcomers, performed in the living room of their fans. This way, Austrian talents prepare themselves for their gig, and their fans experience a private [[live concert]] in their room.

==History==
In 1983 ((ill|Harry Kopietz|de|Harry_Kopietz|vertical-align=sup))'','' [[SPÖ]] politician, invented the organization of a one-day party near the ''Floridsdorferbrücke,'' to promote the attractiveness of the Donauinsel as a recreational area. Organizers expected some 15,000 people, but 160,000 showed up. The event became annual the following year (300,000 visitors)<ref>[http://www.donauinselfest.at/index.php?lang=de&module=news&id=105 From the official website (German version)]</ref> and meanwhile always attracts more than two million people during three days of activities (2.9 million in 2006, "only" 2.6 in 2007, as, due to a heavy [[thunderstorm]], a few concerts had to be canceled on opening day).<ref>[http://www.donauinselfest.at/index.php?lang=de&module=news&id=173 From the official website (German version)]</ref>
