FOCUS ON 3 CONCERTS NOT TO BE MISSED
EROS RAMAZZOTTI
The Italian pop idol celebrated 35 years on stage with a new world tour and stopped over in Geneva for an unforgettable evening on 20 March 2023. Though of course he played titles from his latest studio album “Battito Infinito” – a universal message of love and a hymn to freedom – Eros Ramazzotti touched the audience’s hearts by also singing all of his legendary songs. A majestic experience performed live to sold-out audiences!

BIGFLO & OLI
Having flown below the radar for two years, Bigflo & Oli made sure they returned to the stage in style. It was a success to say the least, with thousands of fans turning up on 9 November 2023! With their usual energy the two brothers magnificently swept the audience along in joyful mayhem to paraphrase the title of the single “Sacré Bordel” from their latest album Les autres, c’est nous (“the others are us”).
