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

31/01/2019FUN, GENERAL, MUSIC, NEWSbooking, festivals, La Quairmesse, live music, Lugano, open_air, summer festival, Swiss Music, TicinoMatt

In 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.

Both the cultural context as well as the available tools for creation and digital distribution of music have changed a lot… but importance and impact of first-hand experience on stage remains unique and irreplaceable. 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.

Until March 4, 2019, programmers actively welcome booking proposals. To submit your music, simply click on the “book my band” button (desktop only) of the La Quairmesse – Mx3 page

A cold wind is blowing through the streets and at this time of year it’s usually a bit dead in town. But not today, for something very special is in the air..

People are out and about all around town. They walk and ride their bicycles from club to club and there’s music to be heard. Because BScene, the Basel Club Festival celebrates music at its finest.

Le festival de Cannes a remis ses trophées. Les frères Coen, présidents du jury, ont consacré qui de droit, qui de talent. Chez nous, côté bon son, good vibes, l’édition 2015 des récompenses musicales est en route. «Les professionnels de la profession», comme dirait Jean-Luc Godard, ont sélectionné 35 concurrents parmi près de 700 candidats, groupes ou artistes.

papiersaal4juni2015Rect

Le 4 juin prochain au Papiersaal de Zurich (20h ouverture, 21h concerts), le Swiss Live Talents 2015, seconde édition, fera monter sur scène certains nominés. Parce que le potentiel live est l’un des trois critères jugés, avec la musique et la performance. Voyons ce qu’ils ont dans le coffre.

Trois candidats particulièrement talentueux, trois figures de la nouvelle scène helvétique, joueront live. Dans la catégorie, «Best Emerging Talents», on se réjouit d’écouter les balades folk-pop de Serafyn, cinq complices de Bâle-Ville, la voix cristalline de leur chanteuse, dans une pureté à la Feist. Les écouter fredonner ici.

Parce qu’on peut s’imposer sans beugler, aimer le gros son lourd en ayant une âme gracieuse, avoir l’humour d’un papillon et être un déménageur du «Rock/Metal», les Biennois de Death by Chocolate (étranglés par un carré ?) sortiront l’artillerie pour remporter la tête de leur catégorie.

Ecoute «Go go go», leur tube avec ses rifs ensoleillés. Et en avant le chocolat!

Enfin, lumière sur Lipka, les Genevois quartier Confignon, dans une battle pour gagner la première place en Electro/Dance. Ils sont inventifs, tendres, et ils font dancer, sautiller les Van’s et les skates.

«Union Square Kids», leur titre doublé d’une vidéo, parle des gosses du pays d’Obama, mais parle aussi aux enfants d’ici. Les petits, les grands.

C’est lors de cet événement-concert du 4 juin que sera faite l’annonce officielle des 35 nominés. Pour la remise des prix, il faudra patienter jusqu’au 14 novembre à Berne. D’ici là, on vous invite tous à voter jusqu’au 14 septembre pour décerner ce «Public Award», le choix du public. Soutiens ton ARTISTE SUISSE DE L’ANNEE en votant ici.

Vous êtes aussi membre du jury, vous êtes les frères Coen, Xavier Dolan ou Sienna Miller à Cannes 2015. Mais parce que la musique ça se vit tous ensemble, rendez-vous le 4 juin au Papiersaal www.papiersaal.ch!
