Welcome
What a festival edition! The Baloise Session 2024 has passed us by as if in a frenzy. Our hearts are filled with music and unforgettable moments:
We
★ celebrated «this life» in all its facets with Take That,
★ felt like a «Country Star» with Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives,
★ sang «we are golden» with Mika,
★ were «free like the ocean» with Rea Garvey,
★ and celebrated the «Colours of Music» with Nemo and Teddy Swims.
We raise our voices and cheer for
★ 19 powerful acts that captivated us,
★ 15,500 satisfied visitors whose enjoyment has made us happy,
★ 220 diligent helpers whose commitment was untiring
★ and our loyal sponsors, benefactors and partners who stand constantly by our side.
The anticipation of next year’s festival edition is already palpable – from 16 October to 6 November 2025 we will once more party with you! Booking is starting.
We are looking forward to the collaboration.
Musical greetings
