Calum Scott delights 3,500 fans in Vienna with Whitney Houston duet

An exciting evening at the Gasometer: On October 27, 2025, Calum Scott proved that music not only awakens emotions, but also connects generations. In front of 3,500 enthusiastic fans, the British singer presented an unforgettable concert that featured a fragrant mix of personal moments and breathtaking musical memories.

The highlight of the evening was without a doubt the duet with the legendary Whitney Houston. Projected onto a stage curtain, Scott sang the reimagined version of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).” The idea for this enriching duet came directly from the Whitney Houston Estate, who provided Scott with a raw vocal track. Not only did he want to honor Houston, but also bring their music to a new audience, which attitude.co.uk mentions.

A varied program

Scott opened the evening with “God Knows” and closed with his hit “Dancing on My Own,” while greeting the audience in German and promising that everyone would sing, laugh, dance and cry together. Things got very personal with the ballad “Gone” because he dedicated this song to his late grandmother, who would have celebrated her 93rd birthday that day.

A special highlight of the concert was the unplugged part called “The Crying Corner”, which amazed the listeners. Scott then upped the mood with “Peripheral Vision” and the Lost Frequencies cover “Where Are You Now” before adding extra oomph with a country music number called “One More Drink.”

Emotions and interactions

The surprise for a couple of fans was particularly touching when Scott hosted a “gender reveal party” as part of his appearance and revealed the gender of their child – a boy. The audience was overjoyed and responded enthusiastically, especially to the hits “Roots”, “No Matter What” and “You Are The Reason”.

The entire show was supported by a six-piece band and represented a successful connection between Scott's personal experiences and the impressive music history. oe24 reports on the unique atmosphere that the fans filled with their enthusiasm.

Still, it wasn't just the music that excited fans; Scott's outgoing personality and sense of community at the Gasometer created an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance. The concert was a living testimony to how music can build bridges, even across the boundaries of time.

Overall, Calum Scott's performance in Vienna was a truly enchanting experience that was deeply touching both musically and emotionally and will certainly be remembered for a long time.
