«Ride the Lightning»: Warren Zeiders plays in Zurich in 2026

10/11/2025 written by Anja

A man between Nashville and modern times: Warren Zeiders brings his country sound to XTRA Zurich on October 23, 2026.

A young star with a rough touch

Warren Zeiders comes from Hershey, Pennsylvania, he played lacrosse, studied business administration - only then did music become his mission. He used the COVID-19 pandemic to upload songs to TikTok. Including the viral track «Ride the Lightning», which made him famous worldwide. His style? Country with a banging rock edge, an honest voice and lots and lots of heart!

Snapshot: hit machine & chart topper

Zeiders landed his first number 1 hit on country radio with his album Pretty Little Poison. He now has billions of streams, millions of TikTok views and masses of listeners on Spotify. That shows: Here comes no one-hit wonder, but a musician with real aspirations.

What this evening can bring

Zeiders has proven live that his songs don't just work in the studio. At the concert in Hamburg, people spoke of the «outlaw sermon» of his voice. In Zurich, that can mean: Guitar, band, chorus to shout along to and a community that rethinks country. Hits like «Ride the Lightning» or «Pretty Little Poison» are on the bill. And perhaps also new songs from his album «Relapse».

Why non-country fans should also go to the concert

The typical country show? Not really. Zeiders integrates rock and Americana elements, his voice conveys honest stories about loss, longing and new beginnings. The concert on 23.10.2026 is an opportunity to experience intense music and live moments and to meet like-minded people.
