Grelle Forelle — 'Shrill Trout' — is Vienna's finest small techno club, occupying a purpose-designed space on the banks of the Danube Canal in Leopoldstadt. The venue's compact size and powerful sound system create conditions for genuinely intense electronic music experiences, and its booking policy focuses on the same international names playing Tresor and Fabric. The canal-side location gives it a peaceful exterior that contrasts dramatically with the intensity of the music inside. Grelle Forelle has helped establish Vienna as a serious destination on the European electronic music circuit.
Grelle Forelle opened in 2011, part of the broader development of Vienna's Danube Canal as an entertainment and cultural destination. It quickly became the city's go-to venue for underground electronic music, consistently booking artists of the highest quality.
