Hardly any other discotheque in the country can bathe in the glow of so many names of international repute like the U4: Prince, Sade, Nirvana and Johnny Depp have all performed here live. Prince performed one of his legendary unannounced after-show concerts in the U4. Stars such as Grace Jones and Marilyn Manson dropped in as guests. It was like a living room for Falco and the Vienna Scene. Few locations can so credibly claim the honestly deserved distinction of being a “cult venue”.

The U4 opened its doors in 1980 and was built during construction work on a shopping center. The disco takes its name from the nearby U4 subway line. In the 1980s, U4 was the go-to venue for Vienna’s underground scene and New Wave.

The venue has been providing a party atmosphere across its two floors and the necessary drinks for successive generations ever since. The theme changes every evening and brings bliss to suit every taste to the establishment on U-Bahn line 4: from classic funky disco, to official rock, to fitting reviews of the last decades.
