Poolbar Festival 2026: Xavier Rudd

He is one of the most well-known musicians in Australia and has a worldwide fan base. Wherever the self-proclaimed surfer Xavier Rudd performs, concert tickets sell like hotcakes. The audience at the Poolbar also loves his music, which blends folk, world music, and reggae, passionately and deeply: he has already left an inspired audience in Feldkirch twice. The man from southeastern Australia has been active in the music scene for over 25 years. He is also known for his social and ecological commitment, which is reflected in his song lyrics. For instance, Rudd advocates for the rights of Australia's indigenous population. Despite often profound themes, his acoustically oriented songs sound light and carefree. This summer, the musician will be bringing his latest EP "Where To Now" with him, among other things. (dob)
