ZOA City
From June 17 to July 9, 2026, the Dolder artificial ice rink will once again become a summer open-air stage. ZOA City 2026 will bring international acts such as Empire of the Sun, James Arthur and BUNT. to the city on the Limmat.
In Zurich's summer music scene, ZOA City is once again a highlight in the 2026 event calendar. The concert series combines a carefully curated line-up with an exceptional location and offers a mix of electronic beats, indie vibes and pop sounds in the middle of the countryside and yet close to the city.
The ZOA City 2026 line-up includes a diverse program: The German indie band Provinz will kick off the festival on 17 June 2026 and set the mood right away. The Australian electropop duo Empire of the Sun will follow on June 18 with their synth-soaked sounds and impressive visual performance. On June 19, BUNT. will be bringing energetic DJ beats to the festival, before techno and house DJ Boris Brejcha gets the audience moving on July 4 with support acts Anne Clue and Frieder & Jakob. British singer-songwriter James Arthur will close the festival on July 9 with his emotional pop songs.
The Dolder artificial ice rink not only offers a view of the countryside, but also a special festival atmosphere. While people skate on the ice rink in winter, the area is transformed into an open-air arena with urban flair in summer. The combination of nature, views and good accessibility makes it the ideal location for a music festival in Zurich.
