Michael von der Heide
Michael von der Heide is a dazzling star of the Swiss show and concert scene. His mission? “To take away the heaviness from people.” As a diseur, charmer and chansonnier, he and his brilliant band have been enchanting audiences with their unique style for three decades. His repertoire – from “Hinderem Berg” to the shiny gold “Il Pleut de l’Or”, with which he took to the Eurovision stage in 2010 – is just as multifaceted as his performances: charming, pointed and full of wit.

Nicole Bernegger
Vintage soul, retropop, Motown, Stax and a pinch of Woodstock, lovingly incorporated into their own Bandsound, that’s Nicole Bernegger and her band. While the Basel-based septet is currently still touring clubs and festivals with “BACK TO YOU”, they are already working on their new album, which will be released in fall 2025.

Brainchild
Brainchild is fully dedicated to the joy of pop music. The band around Basel musician and singer Antonin Queloz presented an astonishingly mature debut album in 2021 with “Heartbreak Horizon”, which promptly made them SRF3 Best Talent: equipped with a voice that brings John Mayer or Jamie Cullum to mind, flanked by a band of respected exponents of the Basel music scene and carried by a great deal of lightness. The single “In The Darkness” is anthemic: Big, but close. Nostalgic, but optimistic. Catchy, but varied. Pop with depth – that’s Brainchild.

WAS DAS?
When it comes to rap from Basel, you can hardly avoid WAS DAS? From political themes to trendy autotune hooks, they cover a broad musical palette and their hit “Kleistadtverklemmt” is on constant rotation throughout German-speaking Switzerland. With three albums released, an m4music award and countless concerts played, the 7-piece band is no longer an insider tip. In Basel, they are still known for their sold-out shows and boiling crowds, so they are definitely a must-see!
