On March 28, 2026, Franz Ferdinand will bring their unmistakable blend of guitar riffs and driving rhythms to The Hall in Zurich.
Since their breakthrough with "Take Me Out", Franz Ferdinand have been one of the bands that redefined indie rock and danceability. With a repertoire ranging from thumping anthems to sophisticated art-pop, the quartet around singer Alex Kapranos shows time and again how timeless their songs are.
Founded in Glasgow in 2002, Franz Ferdinand quickly conquered the scene. Their debut album attracted international attention with hits such as "The Dark of the Matinée". They later expanded their sound with albums such as "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" and "Always Ascending", which integrated electronic elements without losing the characteristic sharpness of the guitars.
"Take Me Out" remains a song that gets entire dance floors moving. But songs like "No You Girls", "Do You Want To" and "Ulysses" have also long been classics. Live, these tracks unleash a raw energy that has made Franz Ferdinand a permanent fixture on festival and concert stages around the world.
Frontman Kapranos is known for his charismatic presence, which gives every show its unmistakable character. With a clear edge between rock and pop, the band manages to connect generations of fans - from early 2000s indie to the present day.
