Baloise Session

The Baloise Session – a boutique music festival of a special kind. As an audience member, you sit with us in an exclusive feel-good ambience, at a candlelit club table, just like in the formerly legendary New York music clubs. And all this in the smallest capacity, with sensual intimacy and intoxicatingly close to the music stars from all over the world. You will experience musical highlights with a different mix per concert evening from the genres rock, pop, soul, jazz, world, blues, singer-songwriter and much more.

We can't wait to welcome you back from 16 October to 4 November 2026.

Subscribe directly to our newsletter here so that you don't miss when we start the advance sale and which top music stars will transform the Baloise Session into the «Musical Place To Be».

See you soon!
