Open Mic at Viadukt

The best rhymes and the hottest beats are about to explode by the Danube! Join us for a true hip hop cypher in front of Viadukt Bar, where the rhythms will be delivered by Vex Bones. Behind the microphones, Nick Name and TI will take the lead, as the mic will be open all night long — expect a proper open mic session! Good vibes, cold beer, a diverse crowd and powerful hip hop under the open sky. What is a Cypher? The term cypher (or cipher) comes directly from hip hop culture: rappers, MCs and beatboxers gather in a circle and take turns freestyling or performing pre-written verses. There is no distance between the stage and the audience — the focus is on collective improvisation, shared energy and reacting to each other in the moment. Got a verse you want to share? Feel like freestyling over a great beat? Or would you simply enjoy a cold drink while soaking in the rhythms? Whether you’re stepping up to the microphone or just want to listen to others, this is the place to be!
