Description

Live music on Bern’s local mountain since 1977.

On 4 live stages and in 3 dance tents, a high-quality music program takes place 4 days a year above the Swiss capital. The festival is a mainstream/pop festival, which focuses on musical accents and quality.

The three dance tents are dedicated to different musical orientations: Supermercardo features finely selected hits, Cosmodrome electronic music, sounds and beats, and Soundgarden hip hop, bass music and club sounds. Here, too, great importance is attached to a qualitatively diverse, good line-up as well as to young, innovative acts.
