One week after the start of pre-sales and the announcement of the first bands, the Gurtenfestival is today announcing five more acts who will be providing cool sounds on Bern's local mountain in July 2023.
2023 marks the 40th anniversary of the Gurtenfestival in Bern. The open-air festival is celebrating this with an extra day of music and will therefore start on Wednesday, July 12.
After the first acts were announced a week ago, from Lil Nas X and Die Toten Hosen to Lo & Leduc and Deichkind, five more big names were announced this evening.
Currently causing a sensation in European stadiums and already a highlight for many on the tent stage in 2019, when she had just climbed to the top of the international music Olympus, this show 23 will definitely be remembered:
Rosalìa returns to the local mountain. The exceptional Spanish talent will be headlining the main stage on Thursday, July 13.
A phenomenon on the Swiss music scene
If you don't feel like you know Rema: Open the streaming service, enter "Calm Down" and - äbä doch, gäu. The Nigerian singer has been continuously releasing music since 2018 and got onto the radar of all music fans with his feature on Selena Gomez's song.
On Friday, July 15, the French band Phoenix can be expected to put on a big pop firework display at the Gurten. The four musicians have just released their new album "Alpha Zulu".
The guys from Hecht are a phenomenon in the Swiss music scene, with various hits and sold-out concerts. Gurte, are you ready for the love of them?
The fifth act is still missing: Zambian singer Sampa The Great combines hip hop, neo soul, South African sounds and electronic influences to conjure up moving songs. Among other things, she has just contributed her song "Let me be great" to the Marvel film "Wakanda Forever".
