The Zurich Openair is one of the largest music events in German-speaking Switzerland. Not far from Zurich-Kloten Airport, the festival brings together international stars from the worlds of indie, rock, pop and electronic music every year.
Between urbanity and festival feeling
Since its inception in 2010, Zurich Openair has become a fixture in the Swiss calendar. The site at Glattbrugger Allmend offers space for several stages and tens of thousands of visitors. A striking feature of the festival is its proximity to the city and the associated logistical accessibility, which attracts an international audience.
Focus on current trends
The programme features a mix of established headliners and up-and-coming newcomers. While the early years saw a strong focus on alternative rock and indie, the spectrum has now shifted significantly towards electro and modern pop. The festival thus reflects current developments in the global music scene.
