Bruneck tanzt! / Bruneck is Dancing (Music Night)

One night, all of Brunico dancing

Bruneck tanzt! — also known by its English name Bruneck is Dancing — is the Musiknacht, a music night featuring DJs that brings the historic centre of Brunico (Bruneck) to life every spring. As the capital of the Puster Valley in the autonomous province of Bolzano, in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige, the town sees its bars, pubs, and clubs turn into a constellation of dance floors for the evening: a single ticket opens the doors to over a dozen venues, each with its own DJ and musical genre.

One ticket, endless genres

The formula is simple and successful: buy a ticket and you are free to hop from one venue to another all night long, choosing the atmosphere that suits your mood. The musical programme is designed to cater to all generations and covers a wide range of styles:

• Hip-hop, funk on vinyl, soul
• Electro, techno, minimal, and house
• Reggae and dancehall
• Rock and electro swing
• Charts, mash-ups, and hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s
• Ghettofunk, trap, twerk, and dubstep

International DJs in the heart of the Dolomites

Setting the rhythm for the night are DJs from Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, who turn Brunico into a true party town. The bilingual character of this corner of Alto Adige/Südtirol is reflected in the event's name, presented in both German (Bruneck tanzt!) and English (Bruneck is Dancing): an appointment that attracts a young and diverse crowd from across the Puster Valley and surrounding valleys.

The event and the region

Organised by Bruneck Kronplatz Tourismus, the event is part of a circuit of "dancing nights" held in various towns across South Tyrol (such as nearby Vipiteno/Sterzing). Brunico, at the foot of the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz ski area, offers the perfect setting: a compact and lively historic centre that is easy to explore on foot, where moving from one venue to another becomes part of the fun. This music night is one of the most anticipated events of the year to experience the nightlife of this mountain town in the Municipality of Brunico, in the Province of Bolzano.
