In addition: People working in and around the stadium during Coldplay concerts will be subject to a security check.
Coldplay, Neustifter Kirtag and Co.: Several major events in Vienna’s city center are causing anticipation and euphoria among numerous guests. But due to recent events, the expected large gatherings of people are also likely to cause concern. Only on August 7, all concerts of megastarter Taylor Swift were canceled due to terrorist plans.
Extensive security measures
“Die The situation was serious, the situation remains serious,” said Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) about two weeks ago. For this reason, extensive security measures are being taken by the Vienna police this week in the Ernst Happel Stadium, but also at the Neustifter Kirtag, the Stammersdorfer Weintage, football matches and other gatherings in the Vienna city area.
Several hundred police officers, both in plain clothes and in uniform, will be deployed at these events. In addition to law enforcement units, civilian emergency services and special units, including WEGA and the police dog unit, will ensure that the events run smoothly. The Cobra task force will also support the operation.
Employee safety checks
“In addition, people working in and around the stadium during major events will be subject to security checks,” Vienna police announced on Tuesday. More specifically, the State Office for State Security and Combating Extremism checks whether a person can be classified as a concern of the state police.
