2019 marks the tenth anniversary of the festival and its line-up will include renowned female artists, newcomers as well as international headliners.

Open, versatile, stimulating, surprising, controversial, exciting, creative, innovative, daring, humorous, entertaining: that’s how the festival has been described. Diversity and equality are two values the festival’s founded on.

For this anniversary edition, the festival is looking forward to welcoming artists like KT Gorique as well as the award-winning dance production Compagnie Cubique.

The event will take place from June, 27 to June, 30 2019 in Brig.

La Quairmesse: the new swiss music festival

bannerIn 1994 the City of Lugano lauched Palco ai Giovani, in order to create an opportunity for emerging bands and artists from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland to perform – in many cases for the very first time – in a real live concert situation and on a big stage. In 25 years, Palco ai Giovani became an established reference point for the young local music scene and served as springboard for many bands and artists.

Thus the desire to let the event evolve on a national level and the creation of La Quairmesse.

The aim is to encourage both creativity and exchange between language regions through two days of concerts, triggering new inputs and meeting ponits.

Artists of different origin, age and paths will meet in Lugano, illustrating the  lively and surprising Swiss music scene and aiming to be heard beyond the national borders.

Two nights on three outdoor stages on the city quais, with music as first national language and bridge between cultures.
