From 7 to 17 October 2026, the new urban axis between Bozner Platz and DAS RAIQA will become a shared cultural and social space. COLL:B AM HOF, an initiative by Innsbruck Tourism, brings together music, movement, literature, film, city history and much more – with contributions from Innsbruck-based initiatives, artists and associations. Open, straightforward and with free admission: shaped by many, open to all. **At the Crossroads of Niche Scenes** At 5 pm, the Tyrolean Ensemble for New Music (TENM) will open the evening with Terry Riley’s iconic work ‘In C’, bringing contemporary music to an extraordinary venue. What role do artistic niche scenes play in the Tyrolean cultural landscape? In the subsequent talk, ‘Tyrol’s Sound Niches’, representatives from Klangspuren Schwaz, TENM, TonArt Tirol and the Zunder Festival will discuss challenges and funding structures, the courage to take risks, and the question of how unconventional formats find their audience. From 6.30 pm, the trio KO·AX will blend contemporary jazz with rock, electronic music and improvisation. To round off the evening, the Zunder Festival will present experimental electronic sounds, audiovisual works and noise from 7.30 pm. Following a brief introduction to unconventional festival formats, a special DJ set will provide a musical retrospective of the last three festival editions.
