The Schlager Nacht Luzern 2027 brings together the biggest names in German-language Schlager music with international cult stars. On March 20, 2027, the stage at Messe Luzern will feature, among others, Beatrice Egli, Ricchi e Poveri, Francine Jordi, Vincent Gross, Florian Ast, Marc Pircher, and DJ Herzbeat. Sascha Ruefer will host the concert evening.
Schlager has changed significantly in recent years. In addition to traditional melodies, the genre is now shaped by pop influences, modern productions, and artists with a wide variety of musical backgrounds. This is also reflected in the program for the Schlager Night.
Hardly any other Swiss Schlager singer has enjoyed a career comparable to that of Beatrice Egli in recent years. Since her breakthrough in 2013, she has been one of the most successful performers in the German-speaking world. On stage, Egli focuses less on elaborate productions and more on direct interaction with the audience. Her concerts thrive on an open atmosphere and a large number of well-known songs.
Ricchi e Poveri are among the most successful Italian pop groups of the past six decades. Their songs are also a staple at many parties in German-speaking countries. With “Sarà perché ti amo,” “Mamma Maria,” and “Voulez Vous Danser,” the setlist includes several songs that are well-known far beyond the Schlager scene.
Vincent Gross, from Basel, belongs to a younger generation of Schlager artists. His music leans more toward pop than many classic Schlager productions. Songs like “Ouzo” and “Aperol Spritz” demonstrate just how fluid the boundaries between genres have become.
Francine Jordi is one of the most consistent stars of Swiss Schlager. Since her victory at the 1998 Grand Prix der Volksmusik, she has regularly released new music and maintains a strong presence in both Switzerland and Germany.
Her concerts are characterized by a mix of soulful ballads and well-known Schlager hits. In this way, she embodies the classic side of the genre that continues to reach a large audience to this day.
Florian Ast is best known as a dialect musician. His participation in the Schlager Night demonstrates how open the format has become to neighboring musical styles. With his well-known songs, he adds a distinctly Swiss flavor to the program.
DJ Herzbeat is one of the producers who blends Schlager with electronic music. His remixes are often created in collaboration with well-known artists from the scene. His performances bridge the gap between classic Schlager melodies and contemporary club sounds.
Marc Pircher hails from the Zillertal and has been moving between folk music and Schlager for many years: handcrafted music with a close connection to the audience. With him, the traditional side of Schlager remains an integral part of the program.
TV host Sascha Ruefer will guide the audience through the evening. He introduces the artists between performances and has been one of the most recognizable faces on Swiss television for years.
The program showcases just how diverse the genre has become. Swiss pop Schlager meets Italian classics, dialect music meets electronic arrangements, and established names meet a younger generation of artists.
