"Vienna" is a song by British new wave band Ultravox, released on 9 January 1981 by Chrysalis Records[3] as the third single and the title track from their fourth studio album of the same name. Featuring Midge Ure on lead vocals, the new wave ballad[1] is regarded as a staple of the synth-pop genre that was popularised in the early 1980s and remains both the band's signature song and their most commercially successful release.
The song was also performed at the 1985 Live Aid concert in Wembley Stadium, and is often performed live by Ure in solo performances.
