Nothing new in the East? On the contrary. In summer 2007 Hubert von Goisern floated down the Danube on a cargo boat as far as the Black Sea.

For two and a half months the boat, serving concurrently as living quarters and stage, carried Goisern and his band across Austria, Germany, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Hungary, Serbia and Slovakia. In these nine countries Goisern and his band played 22 gigs accompanied by performing artists from the respective regions. “We were looking forward to each of these gigs with a tremendous sense of anticipation; we put everything into the development of the programme and profited from the exchange with our guest. Each gig was different.” The Tour wound up in the home port, Linz. 8,000 enthusiastic fans turned up for a concert, a blend of alpine folklore, pure inspiration and raw pop rock from Eastern Europe.
