To borrow a line, Vienna waits for you. The High End Society has just announced that the annual High End Show that’s long been held in Munich will be moving to Vienna in 2026.

They, of course, also want to reiterate that the High End 2025 show will take place as originally planned at the at the MOC in Munich from May 15-18, 2025. (Naturally, the AP team will be there in full force, as always.)

For the following year, however, High End 2026 will take place at the Austria Center Vienna convention center from May 28-31, 2026. The trade days remain the same for the corresponding Thursday and Friday (i.e., May 28 and May 29), as do the corresponding Saturday and Sunday being the days open to the public (May 30 and May 31). Or, as the High End Society puts it quite succinctly in their own words, “The dates, duration, and day types will remain unchanged. Only the location is different!”

The High End Society have the following two years already booked in Vienna as well, with High End 2027 taking place at the ACV from May 6-9, 2027, and High End 2028 occurring there from May 25-28, 2028.

“Why Vienna?” the High End Society asks semi-rhetorically. According to them, the Austria Center Vienna garnered much positive feedback from exhibitors, visitors, and the media based on their respective experiences there during the Finest Audio Show. The ACV locale boasts “several halls and 21 event room areas located on five levels” and “134 rooms of different sizes ranging from 13 to 124sqm [with a] ceiling height [of] 2.70m.” Sounds just right to us, too.

Incidentally, the photos seen throughout this report have been created by High End Society to give us all a sense of time, space, and place. Looking forward to seeing everyone at High End Vienna when the time comes!
