Das schwäbische Kriminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘ – ein köstliches Gänge-Menü in stilvollem Ambiente umrahmt von einem spannenden Kriminalfall im Zunfthaus zur Schmiden in Zürich.

‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘

Ja, Sie haben richtig gelesen, den berühmten Meisterdetektiv Sherlock Holmes und meine Wenigkeit, Dr. Watson, hat es ins schwäbische Ländle verschlagen. Zugegebenermaßen nicht ganz freiwillig. Doch konnte unser Genie die Einladung einer alten Bekannten, der Baronin von Zuckerberg, zu einem Galadinner nicht schon wieder abschlagen. Nun speisen wir also hier just zu der Zeit im Nebenraum des Restaurants, in dem Sie an diesem Abend ein köstliches 3-Gänge-Menü genießen.

Auf der Flucht vor seiner Tischnachbarin, der endlos plaudernden schwäbischen Baronin, verpasst der Detektiv nur knapp den vermeintlichen Mord am Gatten der Gastgeberin, dem Baron von Zuckerberg.

Gut, seine gesundheitliche Verfassung war nicht mehr die Beste. Aber so plötzlich vornüber in die Maultäschlesupp zu fallen ist auch im Schwabenland nicht die feine englische Art zu sterben. Für Sherlock Holmes jedoch ist der bis dahin tödlich langweilige Abend gerettet.

Ein Mundartkrimi steht an, ein äußerst kniffliger Fall zudem, denn die Untersuchungsergebnisse schließen scheinbar jegliche Einwirkung von Gift aus. Die Befragung der Zeugen, des Gerichtsmediziners und einiger der Dinnergäste lässt so manches Unschuldslämmle im Saal verdächtig erscheinen.
Eifrig und bester Laune kurbelt der berühmte Detektiv seine kleinen grauen Zellen an. Schon greift "Schwäbische Schläue" um sich, doch führt den Meister so schnell kein falscher Häuslebauer hinters Licht. Für ihn liegt die Lösung des Falls natürlich alsbald klar auf der Hand. Wie immer lässt er uns jedoch noch eine Weile im Dunkeln tappen bevor der Mörder virtuos überführt wird.

Möglicherweise haben aber auch Sie bald die Lösung parat, denn Sie haben an diesem Abend ja auch noch ein Wörtle mitzureden.

Das 3-Gänge-Menü wird serviert vom Gastroteam im Zunfthaus zur Schmiden. Ab 19 Uhr wird das Krimi Dinner eröffnet, das Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen garantieren wird. Einlass ist um 18:30 Uhr.

Einlass: 18:30 Uhr / Menü und Theaterstück sind im Preis inbegriffen / Tisch- und Sitzplätze werden vor Ort zugewiesen The Swabian Criminal Dinner 'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesupp' – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting criminal case at the Zunfthaus zur Schmiden in Zurich.

'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesupp'

Yes, you read that right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and myself, Dr. Watson, have found ourselves in the Swabian region, admittedly not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius couldn't refuse the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are, dining just at the time in the adjoining room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

In fleeing from his dinner neighbor, the endlessly chattering Swabian baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health condition wasn't the best. But to suddenly fall face-first into the Maultäschlesupp is not the fine English way to die, even in Swabia. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A dialect crime story is on the agenda, an extremely tricky case as well, since the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic expert, and some of the dinner guests make several innocent lambs in the hall appear suspicious.
Eagerly and in high spirits, the famous detective cranks up his little grey cells. Already the "Swabian cleverness" is spreading, but no false home builder can fool the master so quickly. For him, the solution to the case will soon be clear. As always, however, he allows us to stumble in the dark for a while before the murderer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will soon have the solution ready as well, for you also have a say in the matter this evening.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team at the Zunfthaus zur Schmiden. The Krimi Dinner will begin at 7 PM, ensuring thrills for nerves and palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater play are included in the price / Table and seat assignments will be made on site.

THE KINGS OF MODERN METAL

Since their beginnings in the metalcore underground, Trivium have steadily evolved from album to album and quickly became the spearhead of the modern metal genre. Today, the band represents a versatile, contemporary, and arena-compatible heavy metal sound of the highest quality. In the summer of 2026, the Americans will come for an exclusive Summer Nights Indoor Show at Z7.

Sweden Rock, Rock im Park, Nova Rock, Rock am Ring, Download – Z7! The modern metal masters Trivium will rock the big European festival stages in 2026. Here, you have the opportunity to experience the band in the intimate setting of a Z7 Summer Nights Indoor Show. Trivium undoubtedly ranks among the leading metal bands of our time. With their milestone album "Ascendancy" (2005), the Floridians gained worldwide fame. Their blend of melody, thrash power, and high-energy live shows captivates metal fans as well as a wider audience. At the beginning of 2025, Trivium were on a major retro trip through Europe. On the joint tour with Bullet For My Valentine, they celebrated the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking album "Ascendancy." The tour was supposed to continue worldwide until the end of the year, but BFMV suddenly left the tour. Thus, Trivium decided to release an EP for the first time in their career with the 3-track monster "Struck Dead." Bassist Paolo Gregoletto: "The new songs somehow channel the angry energy of 'Ascendancy.' The result is really heavy. I think some moments might be a bit proggy, but there are many really good hooks and great riffs." In the meantime, frontman Matt Heafy and his guys have started working on a new studio album set to be released in 2026. Guitarist Corey Beaulieu: "The last album 'In The Court Of The Dragon' came out in 2021. That's our longest gap between two full-length albums. So new music is definitely on the way. We've been working on a few things and are turning the page to the next chapter. There will be a new album in 2026 with an accompanying tour, festivals, and everything that comes with it. It's going to be another busy year. We're leaving nostalgia behind and looking to the future. We’re excited for that."

Tommy Emmanuel

FINGERSTYLE LEGEND FROM DOWN UNDER

For guitar gourmets worldwide, Tommy Emmanuel's status as a driving force in the contemporary six-string scene is undeniable. The Australian guitar icon has once again impressively demonstrated his instrumental and compositional skills with the album "Living In The Light" released in the fall of 2025. In the summer of 2026, Tommy Emmanuel CGP will showcase his extraordinary live qualities on the stage of Z7.

Tommy Emmanuel is unstoppable. The 70-year-old musician released his new album "Living In The Light" in the fall of 2025 and is still touring the world. The award-winning, twice Grammy-nominated artist from Down Under is among the most renowned fingerpickers in the world, with his unique guitar style and outstanding technique, very much in the spirit of the great Chet Atkins. Over his six and a half decades-long career – Tommy was considered a guitar prodigy and played at a professional level as a child – the Australian has refined the music of diverse artists like Air Supply and Michael Jackson and shared the stage with legends Les Paul and Eric Clapton. With his various influences ranging from country, jazz, blues, and folk to African and Latin American styles, as well as Spanish and classical elements, Emmanuel is open to all genres and cultures, which also made him a musical ambassador between people from all nations at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Renowned guitarists rave about Tommy Emmanuel. "The best guitarist I've ever seen play," says Eric Clapton. Colleague Joe Satriani notes, "He plays the same 12 notes that are available to all of us. He uses the same 6 strings. He doesn't play the most unusual guitars in the world. Essentially, he needs the same tools we do, but what he achieves with them is monumental."

Tommy Emmanuel CGP: The acronym CGP stands for Certified Guitar Player and is an honorary title invented by guitar legend Chet Atkins (+2001) that has been bestowed upon only a handful of select guitarists. Although this is an unofficial recognition, it is a great honor for the holders to have received this acknowledgment of their achievements from Atkins. Tommy Emmanuel has had the three letters engraved into the necks of some of his guitars.

Death To All - Symbolic Healing European Tour 2026

DEATH-METAL-LEGACY

Three former members of the influential band Death jointly manage the musical legacy of the much too early deceased Florida death metal legend Chuck Schuldiner. With their tribute band Death To All, the musicians are coming to Switzerland as part of the "Symbolic Healing Tour 2026".

Founded in 1984 by Chuck Schuldiner in Altamonte Springs, the band Death, alongside the Californian band Possessed, is considered one of the most famous pioneers of death metal and was regarded as a co-founder of the genre-defining death metal scene in Florida. After the death of mastermind Schuldiner in 2001, Death was disbanded. About a decade later, three former members of the band decided to take over Schuldiner's musical legacy and form the tribute band Death To All. Drummer Gene Hoglan (Death, Dark Angel, Testament), bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Testament, Sadus), and guitarist Bobby Koelble (Death) teamed up with singer and guitarist Max Phelps (Exist, Cynic). Death to All offers a new generation of metalheads the opportunity to experience the genius of Death and Chuck Schuldiner up close. Currently, two groundbreaking albums are the focus of the concert setlists. The "Symbolic Healing Tour" celebrates the anniversaries of the albums "Spiritual Healing" (35 years) and "Symbolic" (30 years). For two hours, Death To All impressively demonstrates in their shows how timeless Schuldiner's music is. It is a powerful and respectful homage that challenges the audience while simultaneously thrilling them and reminding them once again of what the pioneer has accomplished for the death metal scene. Setlist highlights include songs like "Spiritual Healing," "Symbolic," "The Philosopher," "Zero Tolerance," "Voice of the Soul," and "Crystal Mountain." During the last tour in Germany, a metalhead asked on a relevant internet portal: "Is the band worth going to the concert?" Another fan promptly replied: "Absolutely! I've seen them twice and both times were super shows. The singer does a great job and the rest of the band is fantastic too. Hearing the music live, played pretty close to the original, is 100% worth it for me. I will go again whenever they tour near me." On to Pratteln!

Black Label Society

RIFF-MONSTER RELOADED

The singer, songwriter, and guitarist Zakk Wylde is coming back to the Z7 in the summer of 2026 with his riff monster Black Label Society. And he is bringing fresh song material: a new long player is set for early 2026. As part of the subsequent album release tour, the BLS Express will roll into Pratteln.

Zakk Wylde is a busy man. Recently, he was on tour with the reformed Pantera or his all-star project Zakk Sabbath and played big at Ozzy Osbourne's farewell show in Birmingham in July. In addition, he also found time to produce new songs for his formation Black Label Society. In spring 2026, the long-awaited twelfth studio album will be released, followed by a major tour. From February, an extensive journey through the United States and Canada is initially planned. In summer, the new tracks will also be presented in Europe. Three singles have already been released in advance: "The Gallows" premiered in September 2024, followed by "Lord Humungus" in February 2025, and Black Label Society released their third advance single for the upcoming studio album, "Broken And Blind," in autumn 2025. Zakk Wylde commented on the release in his typically quirky and humorous way: “What's up, guys? This is Zakk Wylde from Black Label Society. This is a new song called ‘Broken And Blind’. The song is about peanut butter and chocolate and what happens when I don’t have either. My soul is broken and I’m blind with rage when I don’t have peanut butter and chocolate. So here you go, the new song is called ‘Broken And Blind’. Thanks, have a great day.”

Black Label Society was founded in 1998 by Zakk Wylde in Los Angeles, California. The debut album “Sonic Brew” was released the same year. The latest album, “Doom Crew Inc.,” was released in 2021. Metal Hammer stated: “Of course, the ultra-cool guitar riffs of master Wylde are at the center of all tracks, always wonderfully garnished with acoustic guitars or piano and even organ sounds. The best part: Zakk Wylde has never sung as compellingly and diversely as on ‘Doom Crew Inc.’!” To date, the band has released eleven studio albums, two live albums, and an EP. Album number twelve will be released in spring 2026. Plenty of monster riffs guaranteed. “The main component of every Black Label track is the riff,” says Zakk. Black Label Society builds their music on that, which recently cracked the Billboard Top 5 Albums chart three times in a row. The BLS discography is like a manual for finely crafted American hard rock music and should thus be a must for all blues-based rock 'n' roll musicians. The new songs were once again recorded in Zakk's own Black Vatican Studio. Their simplicity is due to the ultimate lesson Wylde learned from Black Sabbath's 76 work “We Sold Our Soul for Rock’N’Roll”: “Less is often more. Except for the guitar solos.”

Doors open at 18:30.

Crazy Diamond - The Pink Floyd Tribute - Augusta Raurica - Live in Concert

ROCKING IN THE ROMAN THEATER

The Roman Theater Augusta Raurica is the best-preserved ancient open-air stage north of the Alps and has been the venue for Z7 concerts for many years. In 2014, the Swiss Pink Floyd tribute band Crazy Diamond provided one of the most impressive concert experiences here, followed by performances from artists such as Tangerine Dream, Nena, Mike & The Mechanics, Nick Mason, and Beth Hart. Anyone who has experienced a concert in the 1600-seat semi-circular arena knows the incomparable atmosphere of this historical setting. In 2026, Z7 returns and presents for “Augusta Raurica – Live in Concert” Crazy Diamond, Apocalyptica, and Eluveitie as high-profile headliners.

CRAZY DIAMOND - THE PINK FLOYD TRIBUTE

We are celebrating 25 years of Crazy Diamond! “Run, run, run, run – you better run!” Since its founding in 2001, Crazy Diamond has rocked across Switzerland from corner to corner. “Year after year, running over the same old ground.” More than a hundred thousand fans have experienced this band live over the years. Presenting the unique music of Pink Floyd is one thing; adding that certain something to the sound is another. Apparently, the musicians repeatedly hit a nerve. Powerful, forceful, and mighty, the songs are served with a touch of uniqueness. These are the right ingredients to take the listener on a time travel journey that spans from the 60s to the 90s. Whether it’s the first single “Arnold Layne” or one of the last highlights, “High Hopes,” hits like “Another Brick In The Wall” and “The Great Gig In The Sky,” or gems like “Sheep” or “Careful With That Axe Eugene.” Crazy Diamond gives their all with every song to captivate the audience with an unforgettable show. The bombastic sound is further highlighted by fantastic visual effects. To get a sense of “one of the best Pink Floyd tributes,” as the band has been enthusiastically labeled, you must experience Crazy Diamond live. Preferably in the unique atmosphere of the theater in Augusta Raurica, where the band already delivered two magnificent shows in 2014, referencing Pink Floyd's “Live At Pompeii.”

Doors open: 18:00

APOCALYPTICA – PLAYS METALLICA LIVE

Thirty years ago, a completely unknown band from Finland emerged in the music scene, catching the attention of both classical and metal fans. With the album "Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos," classically trained musicians from the far north went wild on stage. Headbanging while playing the cello was something the music world had never seen before. The concept was continually expanded. Soon, three cellos and a drum kit stood on stage at concerts. With guest singers, more bands were covered, and eventually, original songs were composed. In 2024, however, they returned to their first love and released the album "Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol 2." This work continues the journey that began in 1996 when cellists from the world-renowned Sibelius Academy in Helsinki created their symphonic tribute to the metal titans Metallica. The tenth Apocalyptica album features several surprises, such as the stunning reinterpretation of one of the greatest musical Metallica moments, the song "One" from the milestone album "And Justice For All." Additionally, on the new Apocalyptica album, James Hetfield and Rob Trujillo can also be heard. With this release, Apocalyptica has once again outdone themselves. On the current tour, the band exclusively plays Metallica songs to the delight of fans. The unleashed cello metallers with a best-of Metallica set – this promises a wild summer night in Augusta Raurica.

AN EVENING WITH ELUVEITIE – PURE FOLK METAL

Eluveitie has written Pure Folk Metal on their banner. Since 2002, the band led by mastermind Chrigel Glanzmann has been combining melodic death metal with Celtic folk music to create a distinctive sound. With this exquisite mix in their luggage, the Winterthur band has been traveling all over the world for years, enjoying steadily growing success. When it comes to metal from Switzerland, Eluveitie has been the benchmark for years. With sold-out tours and celebrated releases, the pioneers of the New Wave Of Folk Metal have become the most successful Swiss metal export of all time. It's even more wonderful that the band loves to return to their homeland to celebrate extravagant parties with the fans who made them big. In April 2025, Eluveitie released their long-awaited new album "ÀNV". Chrigel says: "We are really proud of it. From the beginning of this project, we aimed to create a very real, honest album – similar to our early works. And that's exactly what we achieved with ÀNV. Raw and brutally honest. At the same time, it's a modern and uncompromising album that reflects the depth of its lyrics musically: sincere, profound, and more relevant than ever!" The last tour with Arch Enemy, Amorphis, and Gatecreeper was a true triumph throughout Europe, and we are immensely excited to celebrate and enjoy "An Evening With Eluveitie" in the summer of 2026.

Mono Inc. - Augusta Raurica - Live in Concert

DARK-ROCK-GIANTS AT THE ROMAN THEATER

Three albums in a row at #1 on the Official German Album Charts, a "Darkness Tour" that was nearly sold out everywhere even before it started – and now the next chapter of this unique success story follows: in summer 2026, Mono Inc. unleash all their energy on an open-air tour through Germany and a very special performance in Switzerland. As a special guest, the Liechtenstein melancholia masters The Beauty of Gemina will open this fantastic concert evening in the ancient walls of Augusta Raurica.

The giants of Dark Rock conquer summer 2026 with spectacular open-air shows. Those who know Mono Inc. understand: it's not just about concerts – it's about experiences that resonate deeply and remain unforgettable. With the songs from their current successful album "Darkness," the Hamburg-based band once again shows that darkness does not mean the end, but rather strength, hope, and pure emotion. But that's not all: for their summer shows in 2026, the band will include a "Best Of" from over 20 years of career. A setlist that has everything from anthems to goosebumps moments. After their two #1 albums "The Book Of Fire" and "Ravenblack," another completely sold-out Symphonic Tour, and headliner slots at various festivals, Mono Inc. released an electrifying ode to the strength within us all with "Darkness" in summer 2025. Profound and multi-layered like never before. The lyrics and sound of the first single "In My Darkness" radiate deeply from within. "Just as we can always shine for ourselves when the world around us sinks into chaos," says band leader Martin Engler. Solidarity and tolerance, love for others and self-love: "Darkness" revolves around everything that has carried the ever-growing Raven Community through all storms and valleys for years. "Darkness" brims with epic power while simultaneously creating intimate moments. This aligns with the conclusion from our friends at Metalinside.ch regarding the last completely sold-out Mono Inc. show in Pratteln in November 2025. The conclusion was: "An evening full of emotions, energy, and a sense of community, a mix of pathos and melancholy."

Tip for all fans: In 2027, Mono Inc. will take a break from rock touring. So if you want to experience the band once again in a loud and powerful way, you have the last chance to do so for a long time in summer 2026.

Beth Hart - Z7 Summer Nights Open Air

EXPLOSION OF EMOTIONS

Few singers can convey their deepest feelings in such an inspiring way through songs like the American blues, soul, and rock singer Beth Hart. With her album "You Still Got Me," she has released another very personal work in October 2024 that encompasses a true explosion of emotions. Her performance on the open-air stage of Z7 Summer Nights promises to be a highlight of the concert year 2025.

This passionate musician must be experienced live. Beth Hart not only captivates with fantastic songs that blend earthy blues, soulful soul, and gripping rock, but also with a voice that is unmatched. Powerful and expressive, she reveals her deepest emotions during concerts brimming with devotion and passion. When Beth Hart sings in the title song of her new album "You Still Got Me": "He asked me if I need a hug, I said I got nothing inside left to love and then he said, but baby ya still got me," you can really feel it. Anyone who has seen Beth Hart live or immersed themselves in her music knows that she pours every gram of her being into her songs. Beth Hart is more authentic than ever. In a music industry filled with glossy productions and retouched photoshoots, she is the artist who lays her cards on the table and reveals her darkest secrets. Once again, the Grammy-nominated talent showcases her most vulnerable side on a record and gives listeners insights into her personal successes and setbacks in life. "My inner healing process took a very long time, but now I feel very comfortable with my dark side, my craziness, and the things I was ashamed of for so long." Beth Hart truly has nothing to be ashamed of. Certainly not for her fantastic music.

It’s a captivating experience with special effects and a huge production, bigger and better than anything we’ve ever done. There are anthemic, epic songs seamlessly fitting with our classics and some almost forgotten songs that have made it into the live setlist. I can’t wait to present 'Here Be Dragons' to the world in 2026 and bring this stage spectacle back on the road." Yes, indeed: Avantasia is back!

Savatage - Z7 Summer Nights Open Air

SAVATAGE & NEVERMORE: PROG-METAL-SOMMERFEST

After the celebrated stage comeback in the summer of 2025, Savatage will return to Europe in 2026 with the "Prelude To Madness" tour. In addition to various festival appearances, there will be a few selected headliner shows. One of them will take place as part of the Z7 Summer Nights Open Airs on August 3, right at our doorstep! As special guests, we are thrilled to welcome none other than the newly reformed Nevermore, featuring Jeff Loomis and Van Williams.

Tampa Florida, November 3, 2025: The prog-metal pioneers Savatage announce their eagerly awaited "Prelude To Madness" tour 2026. The launch will begin on July 19 in Istanbul, marking the long-awaited return to Europe. The concerts promise an explosive setlist, featuring songs from the entire catalog of the band, including classic anthems and deep cuts that underline Savatage's appreciation for their legendary fanbase, aka The Legion. Singer Zak Stevens states: "After the fantastic tours through South America and Europe last year, I am very much looking forward to the upcoming Savatage shows in Europe. It’s going to be great." Savatage is regarded as one of the most influential bands in Progressive Metal. Throughout their remarkable career, the band from Tampa has released eleven groundbreaking albums and performed hundreds of concerts worldwide.

Their one-time reunion performance at Wacken Open Air 2015 thrilled 80,000 fans and confirmed both the legendary status of Savatage and the unwavering dedication of their audience. Building on the success of the Wacken triumph, Savatage made international headlines in 2025 with their first headline shows since 2002. The Europe tour successfully united multiple generations and was a highly emotional experience for both old and new fans. It is with even greater excitement that we present one of the few headliner shows of Savatage in the summer of 2026. The "Prelude To Madness" tour will feature the current powerhouse lineup of Zak Stevens (vocals), Al Pitrelli and Chris Caffery (guitars), Johnny Lee Middleton (bass), and Jeff Plate (drums).

Nevermore:
In spring 2025, news spread like wildfire through the metal scene: Nevermore is making a comeback! Founding member Jeff Loomis (guitar) and long-time drummer Van Williams aim to revive the prog-metal legend with new collaborators. At the end of March, they announced: "The wait is over! After a long selection process, we have assembled a lineup that honors our legacy while also charting a new path into the future. We are very happy about this." The identities of the chosen ones will likely be revealed soon. Currently, preparations for the band's long-awaited return are in full swing: "We are getting ready for the next chapter of Nevermore, and we promise it will be worth the wait." Formed in 1992 from the ashes of the band Sanctuary, Nevermore established themselves in the metal Olympus between 1995 and 2010 with seven fantastic albums and a compelling stage presence. In the summer of 2026, the newly formed prog/thrash metallers from Seattle will come in a double bill with Savatage to Pratteln. It promises to be a high-profile summer night on Kraftwerkstrasse. Savatage frontman Zak Stevens can hardly wait: "We are very excited to welcome our old friends Nevermore as special guests."

Saxon - Z7 Summer Nights Open Air

META-SUMMER THUNDER WITH SAXON

The mighty Metal Eagle spreads its wings once again and lands on our outdoor stage in August 2026. The tireless NWOBHM legend Saxon comes for a show as part of the Z7 Summer Nights in Pratteln. Frontman Biff Byford still shows himself to be in impressive form even after five decades and once again brings his timeless Heavy Metal Thunder to Switzerland.

Saxon are the absolute hard workers of the metal scene. Founded 50 years ago in Barnsley, England as Son Of A Bitch, they have written Heavy Metal history up to today. Together with Iron Maiden, they were among the pioneers of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal in the early 80s and brought 5 albums into the Top 20 of the UK charts – at a time when you still had to sell quite a few physical records to have a chance in the charts. Saxon have since released 24 studio albums and countless live albums, and with their regular releases and seemingly endless tours, they remain a sure bet in the hard rock business. Saxon are one of the very few formations that have remained true to themselves and their sound throughout their entire career. And that is appreciated by the fans. With their latest work "Hell, Fire And Damnation," Saxon has once again exceeded all expectations in 2024 and created another Heavy Metal classic that walks the perfect line between confident, contemporary power and a respectful homage to the glorious New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Every performance oozes confidence. Biff Byford delivers his best vocals in years, drummer Nigel Glockler and bassist Nibbs Carter provide thunderous power for the rhythm. The guitars of Doug Scarratt and Brian Tatler are fresh, fiery, and complement each other perfectly. Musically, Saxon brings everything to the table that keeps the denim-and-leather crowd entertained. Singer Biff reflects on the album produced by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest), where for the first time Diamond Head guitarist Brian Tatler contributed. "Brian brought a new dynamic to the songwriting. It worked excellently. 'Hell, Fire And Damnation' was chosen as 'Album of the Year' on quite a few websites. So we must have hit it quite well. I hope the next one will be just as good, if not better. But 'Hell, Fire And Damnation' will be hard to top. I consider it a pretty perfect album." The songs for a successor are definitely already in the works, and a new work is expected by the end of 2026. It is quite possible that a brand new Saxon song will find its way onto the Summer Night setlist.

Rose Tattoo - Z7 Summer Nights Open Air

ROSE TATTOO: LAST SHOWS IN EUROPE

Rose Tattoo, together with AC/DC, has shaped the international rock scene like few other Australian bands. With the "Rock'n'Roll Outlaws – One Last Ride" tour, the formation led by legendary singer Angry Anderson celebrates its 50th anniversary. At the same time, the performance at Z7 Summer Nights Open Air is the last opportunity for Swiss fans to experience the band live one more time.

The Australian rock 'n' roll outlaws Rose Tattoo are writing the final chapter of their extraordinary band history: After five decades on the road, the band fronted by Angry Anderson announces its last European tour for 2026. Since their founding in 1976, Rose Tattoo has loudly shaped the international rock scene. With their uncompromising blend of blues, hard rock, and pub rock, they created an unmistakable sound that has influenced generations of musicians and fans. Hits like "Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw," "Bad Boy for Love," and "Nice Boys" are now classics of the genre. Angry Anderson, the charismatic and indestructible voice, still leads the band after half a century with the same energy and passion that made Rose Tattoo one of the most respected live acts in rock history. The farewell tour will crisscross Europe one more time in 2026 and promises an emotional journey through five decades of rock history – from the early pub rock anthems to the later classics. With his well-rehearsed band, Angry will once again deliver what Rose Tattoo became famous for: explosive live energy, authentic rock 'n' roll attitude, and the certainty that true rebellion never dies. The "Rock'n'Roll Outlaws – One Last Ride" shows are more than just concerts; they are a farewell to an important piece of music history and a tribute to the timeless spirit of rock 'n' roll. Angry Anderson will celebrate his 79th (!) birthday the day before his performance in Pratteln. However, instead of enjoying a well-deserved retirement, the indestructible rock 'n' roll veteran travels around the world once more to convey his gritty messages to the fans.

After the untimely passing of Bob Marley in 1981, it was Aston “Familyman” Barrett who continued the Wailers and breathed new life into them. Now under the experienced leadership of his son, Aston Barrett Jr., The Wailers have lost none of their magic and continue to deliver intergenerational, electrifying performances full of energy and charisma, where the classic hits are brought back to life on stage. Fans will be treated to a unique mix of nostalgia and modern reggae anthems that make each concert an unforgettable experience.

Eisbrecher - Kaltfront Show 2026

POWERFUL NDH-COLD FRONT

Weather change at Eisbrecher. The successful representatives of Neue Deutsche Härte are coming to Z7 for an exclusive Swiss show with their album "Kaltfront°!". The 2026 tour promises yet again exhilarating energy, strong stage presence, old and new hits, and the perfect mix of power and elegance.

With "Kaltfront°!", Eisbrecher made a convincing return in March 2025. The tenth studio album marks a new beginning after challenging years, during which the band had to reinvent itself both personally and musically. The latest work elevates the band to a new level. The songs are uncompromising, loud, and at the same time imbued with emotional depth that captivates the listener immediately. Singer and frontman Alexander Wesselsky describes "Kaltfront°!" as "the album I always wanted to make" – an impressive testament to resilience, musical evolution, and unbroken passion. "Kaltfront°!" unites Eisbrecher's characteristic hardness with elements of EBM, metal, and epic rock anthems.

Since their founding 23 years ago, Eisbrecher has established themselves as a fixture in the German rock scene. Their albums "Sturmfahrt" (2017) and "Liebe macht Monster" (2021) reached number 1 on the charts. The concert tours cemented their reputation as a titanic live force. With the current album "Kaltfront°!", Eisbrecher is crushing the world's lethargy and delivering a strong message. Powerful, hard, and with sarcastic humor, "Kaltfront°!" is a ruthless stocktaking of our current society. Metal Hammer writes about the work: "Eisbrecher sound as if they've had a fresh cell treatment: The songs storm forward, kick ass, and groove like hell. Moreover, Alex is in top lyrical form and addresses topics in almost every new song that are on all our minds."

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at the Hotel Krone Unterstrass in Zurich are offered quite a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. Das Kriminal Dinner – this is a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish setting framed by a crime play:

Until the Last Sip

Mr. Hektor Entenbi is dead! Since you were related to or acquainted with the deceased, his closest friend has invited you to the meeting during the shared dinner: the police investigation is ongoing and has been insufficient so far. However, before you are brought up to date on the current investigation status, the life of the deceased must first be reconstructed. Not a problem, really, if it weren’t for that sudden second death.

Who killed Mr. Entenbi? And why? What do the two deaths have in common?
The commissioned private investigator Mrs. Marbel and her assistant Mr. Stinker have their hands full: they question witnesses, examine evidence, and have Mrs. Marbel's sister read cards for them. In the end, however, it is the attendees who initiate the turning point.

The two improv artists spontaneously involve the attendees in the comedy crime, using a variety of expressive means, playing several characters, and having a keen sense of the present audience. Unpredictable developments, astonishing twists, and up until the last sip...

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hotel Krone Unterstrass. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 7 p.m., with admission from 6:30 p.m.

Admission: 6:30 p.m. / Menu and play are included in the price / Table and seating are assigned on-site.

Strange Kind Of Women - The World’s Only All-Female

DEEP PURPLE - MADE IN ITALY

All good things come in threes: After the celebrated shows in autumn 2024 and December 2025, the world's only all-female Deep Purple tribute band Strange Kind of Women will return to the Z7 in 2026. The five musicians will bring the magic of the British hard rock legend authentically and with unbridled joy to our venue once again on September 18.

Only a few tribute bands manage to actually come close to their role models in show and sound. Strange Kind of Women deliver outstanding work that has been praised by fans and critics alike. What the rock ladies are capable of was personally experienced by Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice. At a concert in Graz, he couldn't resist rocking out with Strange Kind of Women. Afterwards, he said, "It's really great fun to play with them. They do a fantastic job, have a great sound, and give their all on stage. I really enjoyed the joint performance." The band members are all professional musicians who have already celebrated success with various other formations. Band leader and guitarist Eliana Cargnelutti is the great new hope of the Italian blues-rock scene. The Italian-Canadian singer Victoria Moro aka Ronnie Grace acts as the frontwoman. They are accompanied by Chiara Cotugno (drums), Margherita Gruden (Hammond, keys), and Paola Zadra (bass). When Deep Purple co-founded the hard rock scene in the 70s with songs like "Highway Star," "Child In Time," or "Smoke On The Water," the five musicians had not yet been born. However, for the past few years, they have been expressing their love for this music in passionate stage performances, providing an exhilarating impression of the work of the iconic rock formation that was founded in London in 1968. In September 2024, SKOW first took the stage at the Z7. Our in-house chroniclers diebuehrers.com reported enthusiastically: "The five power women not only brought the legendary sounds of Deep Purple to the stage but also the atmosphere of a time when rock was still raw and untamed" and added: "Strange Kind of Women delivered a tribute that not only honored the songs of Deep Purple but also reflected their energy and soul extremely authentically."

Eric Steckel

EXPLOSIVE BLUES-ROCK STORM

With his untamed guitar power, soulful vocals, and fine mix of blues and hard rock, Eric Steckel will be performing at Z7 again this year. The new album “Sandstorm” (Release: April 2026) showcases the musician more focused and explosive than ever. Heavy riffs, intense solos, and contemporary songwriting merge into a modern, powerful sound that excites both blues purists and hard rock fans.

Although he is only in his mid-30s, Eric Steckel already enjoys cult status in the international guitar scene and has an impressive resume. His debut album “A Few Degrees Warmer” was recorded live in April 2002 when he was just eleven years old. It didn’t take long for Eric to perform at the Sarasota Blues Festival, where his performance quickly became the talk of the day. And before the night was over, the newcomer was introduced by British blues-rock legend John Mayall as the youngest guitarist to ever take the stage with his Bluesbreakers. Steckel is a gifted musician who sometimes records an album almost entirely on his own and takes responsibility for piano, organ, bass, guitars, vocals, and production in the studio. With over 20 years of experience on stage and in the studio, Eric consistently delivers his characteristic blend of rock, blues, and blues metal to guitar lovers worldwide.

In October 2025, Steckel appeared with his power trio for the first time at Z7. Anyone who experienced the incredible show will surely not want to miss the concert next September. With the song “When It Rains, It Pours,” the exceptional artist gave a first taste of the new album “Sandstorm”: emotional vocals meet dynamic arrangements and a guitar sound that is raw, modern, and unmistakably Eric Steckel. The powerful production of the new songs was handled by Dan Malsch (Ghost, Gojira, Avenged Sevenfold, among others). With the album release in April, Steckel will kick off the World Tour 2026, where he will present the new material live. Fans can look forward to intense, energetic shows where Eric Steckel will not only introduce the brand-new titles but also perform selected highlights from his previous releases.

"Chief Inspector Schröder investigates"

The new "Kriminal COMEDY Dinner" piece by the two successful authors of "Testament à la Carte" revolves around the quirky Chief Inspector Schröder, who must solve a mysterious murder. Of course, he does this while thoroughly taxing the audience’s laughter muscles.

Chief Inspector Schröder rushes to the crime scene, exactly on his birthday, and almost becomes a victim of a violent crime himself. Good thing he had come up with a code word with his new colleague Pit Zimmermann. His incompetent boss, forensics, and his "charming" mother are meanwhile making his life difficult, and as if that weren’t enough, Susi has now also gone missing – who is Susi??

Whether Chief Inspector Schröder can solve this tangled case, you’ll find out best for yourself.

New to the program: There is now a lot of handmade music in the "Comedy Krimi Dinner," which the two multi-talents skillfully incorporate into the plot. After all, the guests should get what they deserve:

SEM: Espionage - Extortion - Murder, or Spinaci, Espresso, Morte (as the Italian says.)

A two-person piece with 16 characters. Nine roles are played by the two actors themselves, while the other 7 willingly come from the audience.

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hotel Seepark. The thrill for nerves and taste buds starts at 7 PM, with entry from 6:30 PM.

NEW ALBUM OF THE SYMPHONIC METAL QUEEN

Finland's most popular soprano voice, Tarja Turunen, returns to the Z7 with brand new material. After two celebrated "Living The Dream" greatest hits shows, during which she reflected on her successful career, we are excited to welcome the iconic metal singer back in October with her brand new album.

Over the past three years, Tarja Turunen has been touring with her "Living The Dream" greatest hits tours. Sometimes solo, sometimes together with her old Nightwish companion Marko Hietala. In between, she was a guest at "Rock Meets Classics" and gave festive Christmas concerts. But now the time is ripe for the next chapter in the singer's career. After seven long years, a new studio album by Tarja will be released in spring 2026. In autumn, the big album release tour will follow, bringing the artist to the Z7 on October 9th with her new material.

As a soprano, composer, and songwriter, co-founder, voice, and face of Nightwish, Tarja Turunen has significantly shaped the genre of Symphonic Metal for nine years. During this time, she was awarded numerous gold and platinum awards and was crowned the queen of the genre. After leaving the band, Tarja launched a successful solo career, resulting in six metal albums as well as several classical works and live releases. Her extraordinary abilities also led Tarja to fantastic collaborations. She has performed with shock rock legend Alice Cooper, symphonic colleagues Within Temptation, the German electronic artist Schiller, metal queen Doro Pesch, and the British "Father of Tubular Bells" Mike Oldfield, among others. However, the unique blend of Tarja's classical and rock influences continues to be best showcased in her solo releases. We look forward to album number seven and another fantastic symphonic metal night at the Z7.

Storace & Special Guests - Marc Storace’s 75th Birthday Bash

MARC STORACE – 75 YEARS OF ROCK
Marc Storace’s 75th Birthday Bash – A Rock Legend Celebration

75 years of Marc Storace. A voice that has written rock history. In October 2026, the legendary singer will celebrate his milestone birthday with a very special evening at Z7: a unique Birthday Bash full of hard rock, companions, and musical surprises. A celebration for fans – and for a career that is unmatched.

Born on October 7, 1951, in Malta, Marc Storace became one of the most influential voices in European hard rock. With Krokus, he certainly made music history and shaped the sound of an entire scene for decades.

After a brief forced pause during the pandemic, Storace opened a new chapter and founded Storace – a project that gave him creative freedom and consistently developed his musical signature. The albums Live And Let Live (2021) and Crossfire (2024) showcased a singer at the peak of his art: rough, charismatic, and unmistakable.

His 75th birthday will now be the occasion for a special evening at Z7. The concert evening is deliberately divided into two parts: First, a regular set with STORACE, followed by a second part that is all about surprises. Musicians who have accompanied Marc Storace on his journey or are particularly close to him will join him on stage. Who will be there exactly? We won’t reveal it all at once. Names will be announced step by step.

Big Big Train - The Woodcut & Other Stories Tour 2026

PROG AROUND THE WORLD

The British retro-prog formation Big Big Train will come to Pratteln in autumn 2026. With the comprehensive concert recording “Are We Nearly There Yet? – Live Around The World”, the band released an exciting documentation of their last tours in October 2025. On the upcoming European tour, the band will once again present songs from all phases of their three-and-a-half-decade career.

Big Big Train continues to demonstrate high productivity even after 35 years: For the past 10 years, at least one studio and/or live album has been released each year. The amount does not detract from the quality. The creativity of the musicians remains unbroken. Founded in 1990 in Bournemouth, Big Big Train has become internationally successful protagonists of the progressive rock genre with 17 studio albums, various EPs, and live releases, and can look back on high international chart positions (#1 in the UK rock charts), various prestigious awards (4-time winners of the Progressive Music Awards), and countless sold-out concerts. Big Big Train remains true to their roots but also explores new paths. They incorporate influences from various genres and assert themselves as skilled boundary crossers between pop, rock, and prog in the style of English bands from the early 70s. In September 2023, Big Big Train last performed at Z7 with their “The Journey Continues Tour.” The colleagues from diebuehrers.com wrote about the live spectacle: “The 7-member band and their additional brass section immediately showed why they rightfully storm the charts. The multi-talented international band from Great Britain, the USA, Italy, Sweden, and Norway consisted of lead singer Alberto Bravin (PFM), drummer Nick D'Virgilio (Genesis, Spock's Beard, Tears For Fears), guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom (Beardfish, Gungfly), violinist Clare Lindley (Stackridge), bassist Gregory Spawton, keyboardist Oskar Holldorff (Dim Gray), and the rising guitar star Maria Barbieri. With a varied setlist, the band offered a great selection of classics and, of course, songs from their new album ‘Ingenious Devices’. It was a really strong rolling prog train.” Meanwhile, another studio album titled “The Likes Of Us” has been added in 2024. In October 2025, the live recording “Are We Nearly There Yet? – Live Around The World” followed, documenting the British band's fantastic concerts from recent years. For this, Gregory Spawton and exceptional singer Alberto Bravin selected the best recordings from the past tours. Among them are Big-Big-Train favorites and current tracks, captured before enthusiastic fans in the USA, UK, and Europe.

Black Star Riders & Tyketto - Rock’n’Roll Salvation Tour 2026

HARD ROCK ANTHEMS AT YOUR DISPOSAL

Founded in 2012 as a successor project to Thin Lizzy, Black Star Riders have long established themselves as an independent force in the rock circus. Now, after nine long years, the band led by frontman Ricky Warwick returns to the Z7. As co-headliners, they bring the 90s heroes Tyketto with their brand new album to Pratteln.

Ricky Warwick is a busy man. Besides his activities with The Almighty, as a solo artist, and at occasional Thin Lizzy shows, he also continues to lead Black Star Riders as singer, guitarist, and main songwriter. Even after the departure of Scott Gorham, dissolving the band was never up for debate: "Scott wanted us to continue," Warwick stated. "My belief in this band remains unbroken." The album "Wrong Side Of Paradise" (2023) underscores this with catchy rock anthems and a touch of Phil Lynott. Warwick processes personal themes within it and consciously opts for a positive mindset. Live, the band has long moved away from the strong Lizzy influence and impresses with original material, without forgetting their roots.

TYKETTO: In the early 90s, they were among the great hopes of melodic hard rock with "Don't Come Easy" and "Strength in Numbers." However, the grunge boom halted their rise, and after "Shine" (1996), the band disbanded. Since their comeback in 2012, Tyketto has been active again, re-establishing old strengths with albums like "Reach." In 2026, a new work titled "Closer To The Sun" will be released, addressing themes of love, loss, and life.

Basement Saints

ROCK’N’ROLL-UPROAR FROM SWITZERLAND

With a gritty vintage sound, modern energy, and explosive live shows, Basement Saints are on their way to securing a solid place in the European rock scene. The Swiss trio brings the spirit of Deep Purple & Co. into the here and now.

Basement Saints are the best proof that it does not take much to create great rock’n’roll: guitar, Hammond organ, and drums are enough to create a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. Inspired by legends like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Steppenwolf, or The Doors, the band combines classic rock with a modern attitude that also excites fans of Rival Sons, Dirty Honey, or Marcus King.

The international origins of the band – with roots in South Africa, Austria, and Switzerland – are reflected in their musical diversity as well as their uncompromising work ethic. In a short time, the trio has built a remarkable live reputation. Countless shows as headliners, support acts, and at festivals in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain speak a clear language. Their acclaimed album “Down South” has been positively received by critics and has led to radio airplay and strong streaming numbers.

Especially on stage, Basement Saints show what they are made of: energetic, intense, and with a joy of playing that is instantly contagious. Their concerts are not a nostalgic time travel but a powerful rock experience in the here and now – honest, loud, and with plenty of groove. A must-see for all who love handcrafted rock.

Rosalie Cunningham - Rosalie Cunningham + The Universe By Ear

LIMITLESS DIVERSITY

Rosalie Cunningham is considered one of the greatest musical talents in Great Britain. Classic Rock magazine exclaims: “If Kate Bush and The Beatles had a joint baby, it would be Rosalie Cunningham,” and Metal Hammer knows: “Rosalie Cunningham is a rockstar.” In October, the multifaceted artist will come to Switzerland with her fascinating mix of rock, folk, prog, jazz, goth, and pop.

Rosalie Cunningham is a musical all-round talent. At the tender age of 16, the Brit founded the psychedelic rock girl quartet Ipso Facto in 2007, which made waves with four singles. This was followed by various jobs as a backing vocalist and keyboardist for bands such as Magazine, The Last Shadow Puppets, Cathedral, or These New Puritans. As a guitarist, she was part of Willy Moon's band and toured as the opening act for Jack White. In 2011, Rosalie Cunningham founded the psychedelic band Purson, only to explore new paths again after six exciting years. Rosalie wrote countless songs that she began performing under her own name starting in 2019. Critics' acclaim quickly followed; her self-titled debut album made its way into annual best-of lists in several European countries. The "Prog" magazine even ranked her among the ten best female musicians of all time, and in a reader survey, Cunningham was voted the best singer. Over the years, the music has become more intricate, with songwriting not relying on gimmicks but captivating through a range of sounds and both vocal and instrumental excellence. The artist can hardly be pigeonholed stylistically. She proves this with her current work "To Shoot Another Day," which offers rock between psychedelic and metal with numerous musical flirts. Betreutesproggen.de wrote: “With all her compositional skills, she can make her music sound complex or slightly jazzy without really being jazz; it is the voice of the singer-songwriter that stands out. It is versatile and swings effortlessly from almost whispering to powerful-raw, which not many female singers can achieve.” And Saitenkult.de asks: “Why should anyone not enjoy this rock, folk, prog, jazz, goth, and pop, this psychedelic mix of Jinx Dawson and Lana Lane? This psychedelic sound between Music Hall and Birmingham heaviness does not need to be categorized. Rosalie Cunningham and her collaborators simply need to be heard.”

Fischer-Z - 50th Anniversary Tour

CELEBRATE WITH FISCHER-Z

Passionate, political, determined. And above all: an artist. John Watts is Fischer-Z. A musical concept and creative vehicle that has experienced many incarnations. In 2026, Watts will celebrate half a century of music on stage with Fischer-Z: The “50th Anniversary Tour” offers a best-of set featuring highlights from the band's rich repertoire, supplemented with current tracks.

2026 will be a big year for Fischer-Z. The band was founded 50 years ago by singer, guitarist, and poet John Watts in the English town of Sandhurst. Under his leadership, Fischer-Z became a staple of the New Wave and post-punk scene in the late 70s and early 80s. With classics like “The Worker,” “So Long,” “Marliese,” “Red Skies Over Paradise,” and “Room Service,” the band has profoundly influenced several generations of music lovers. Fischer-Z were successful across Europe and sold over two million albums. They collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Steve Cropper, and Dexys Midnight Runners. They performed alongside James Brown in East Berlin and toured with The Police and Dire Straits. They also accompanied Bob Marley on his last festival tour across Europe and toured in the USA and Canada. In 1982, Watts disbanded Fischer-Z to pursue a solo career. He revived the name Fischer-Z in 1987 with a new lineup. John Watts has since released 26 albums and played around 4000 concerts with his band or as a solo artist. New material continues to be released regularly. Most recently, “Triptych” was released in May 2024. The current Fischer-Z studio album marks a return to familiar sounds and themes with new freshness and provides an impressive retrospective of John Watts' life and previous career. Watts has found, as a constantly reinventing artist, that many of his works over the last 50 years of his musical career repeatedly address the same driving themes that are just as relevant today as they were 50 years ago: Love, Power, People - and how they interact with one another. In the anniversary shows of the “50th Anniversary Tour” across Europe, Watts and his companions will present us a best-of set featuring classics from the extensive Fischer-Z discography.

Shakra - Just Live Loud! Tour 2026

JUST LIVE LOUD

The Swiss rockers Shakra are returning to the Z7 on October 23, 2026, with a new album. Under the programmatic title “Just Live Loud,” they present fresh songs while encompassing everything that has shaped the band over three decades. “Become who you are,” Shakra quotes Friedrich Nietzsche – and makes it clear: This chapter is more than just another release. It is a statement. An evening for all who not only listen to rock but live it.

For over 30 years, Shakra have steadfastly navigated their course through the highs and lows of the music business. Line-up changes, pandemic pauses, shifting trends – none of this has ever deterred the band. Instead, a distinctive sound universe has emerged between hard rock and metal, which has constantly evolved without denying its roots. The success speaks for itself: Since 2007, all studio albums have reached the top ranks of the Swiss charts, with “Invincible” even reaching number 1. But after all these years, Shakra are not about being louder than others or chasing trends. It’s about being clearer. More authentic.

“Just Live Loud” is therefore not just an album title but an attitude. Not waiting for the right moment to come. Not quieting down to fit in somewhere. Making mistakes, getting up, continuing on. Living freedom – to the max. With new songs in their backpack and an ever-growing selection of anthems from three decades, Shakra will bring the full force in 2026 as well. Those who move strive for their goals – and those who carry rock in their hearts know: This evening at the Z7 is not meant for standing still. JUST LIVE LOUD.

The Watch plays Genesis - Tales from 1970 - 1976

REISE INS HERZ DER FRÜHEN GENESIS

In the 70s, the English band Genesis was one of the Big Four of Progressive Rock alongside King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Yes. The Italian band The Watch takes us on a trip to the early days of the influential prog rockers. With “Tales from 1970 - 1976,” they dive deep into the time when Peter Gabriel was the frontman of Genesis.

Turning back time to experience the magic of a 70s rock concert. That is exactly what The Watch from Italy makes possible. The internationally celebrated prog rock band brings the music of the early Genesis era to the stage with impressive authenticity. In intense, detail-loving performances, they revive the feeling and sound of the Gabriel era. Even before Genesis celebrated their worldwide breakthrough, the musicians were a class of their own. Their songs from this era are today considered milestones of Progressive Rock. The Watch ensures that these classics can be experienced live again. They are not just a mere copy; rather, they capture the creative energy and pioneering spirit of those years with impressive precision and passion. Singer Simone Rossetti’s voice is astonishingly close to the young Gabriel, and the entire band impresses with masterful instrumental artistry. Guided by the motto “Take a little trip back from 'Trespass’ to 'Wind And Wuthering’,” The Watch delivers a show that leaves no desires unfulfilled, especially not for fans. Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett personally gave his verbal endorsement: “The Watch is a band with very talented musicians. I can only highly recommend them.” In the UK-Prog newsletter, it was noted: “What is unique is the voice - so remarkably similar to that of the young Peter Gabriel.” And ECHO-News UK stated: “It’s like a time machine for those who loved going to concerts in the 70s and want to feel that atmosphere once again.” No other tribute band manages to capture the musical adventurousness and high tension of Genesis during their pioneering days with such emotional power.

Threshold - Hypothetical 25th Anniversary Tour

PROG-POWER PUR

For nearly four decades, the British progressive metal kings Threshold have consistently delivered high-quality material. In 2026, they will celebrate a major anniversary. With the “Hypothetical - 25th Anniversary Tour,” we will enjoy one of the strongest albums from the South English band. Additionally, there will be other classics and fan favorites from Threshold, along with a top-notch special guest in the supporting act.

They are the undisputed kings of British prog metal. Founded in 1988 by guitarist Karl Groom in Southern England, Threshold has always been a unique endeavor. Driven by youthful confidence and enthusiasm, the band quickly developed into Britain’s leading force in the realm of progressive metal. Now, nearly four decades have passed, and Threshold continues to hold strong at the top of the scene. From early works like “Wounded Land” (1993) and “Psychedelicatessen” (1994) to the triumph of more recent successful albums like “For The Journey” (2014) and “Legends Of The Shires” (2017), and most recently “Dividing Lines” (2022), the band has continually demonstrated their impressive songwriting qualities, which have never been swayed by fleeting trends. Thus, the band remains a driving institution within the genre.

In 2001, Threshold released one of their most important albums with their fifth studio full-length “Hypothetical.” Metal.de was inspired by what they heard to write a superlative review: “'Hypothetical' is the best progressive metal album I have come across in two years. Even the last Ayreon double album falls short in comparison. Yet 'Hypothetical' is by no means a CD solely for musicians. The songs are so catchy and melodic that even 'ordinary' listeners should have no trouble grasping the material.” This primarily distinguishes the band from their big American counterparts Dream Theater: While the latter tends to go big, showy, and flaunt virtuosity, Threshold adopts a subtly British approach on “Hypothetical,” using their instrumental abilities to deliver one classy song after another. This milestone will have been around for 25 years by 2026. A perfect reason to honor the timeless opus with a tour and once again dive deep into the fascinating sound world of “Hypothetical.”

Clawfinger - Before We All Die Tour

FURIOUS SOUNDS FROM THE RAP-METAL PRIMEVAL

For over 30 years, Clawfinger has belonged to the top tier of the international crossover scene. With their hits, they have shaped the scene like hardly any other band. On Halloween Saturday, the Swedish-Norwegian genre pioneers will come to our concert venue with their new studio album "Before We All Die" and numerous hits from their long career.

Clawfinger burst onto the international music scene in 1993 with a loud bang. Their debut album "Deaf Dumb Blind" became a worldwide success with tracks like "Nigger," "The Truth," and "Warfair," and is still considered a groundbreaking milestone today. Clawfinger not only created a new music style with their mix of metal, rap, and electronic elements but also addressed socially critical and unvarnished issues in their songs: Clawfinger managed to speak to an entire generation's soul. Today, the profound hit factory of the crossover scene enjoys absolute cult status. The last album "Life Will Kill You" is already 18 years old, but now there is finally new material: "Before We All Die" (Release February 20, 2026) is the name of the new studio record. Frontman Zak Tell is back with hard-hitting lyrics: "This is not about peace. This is about spreading the truth, no matter how terrible it may be. And that's exactly why we do it." Clawfinger addresses topics such as environmental destruction, political hypocrisy, and personal disillusionment up to collective denial on "Before We All Die." "This album consists of one-third protest, one-third therapy, and one-third middle finger," he adds. "Unfortunately, we can't just pull solutions out of the hat, but at least we rebel because being silent would mean the end for all of us." Already the first single "Scum" clearly shows the direction they are going. The band criticizes corrupt leaders, feigned morality, and the growing mob driven by right-wing ideologies. Zak: "'Scum' is a raw, loud, and brutally honest punk-rap track that hits hard. It targets those who are selfish, sexist, and narcissistic and won’t stop talking. With razor-sharp lyrics and a beat like a punch to the face, 'Scum' says exactly what we think about those guys who should just disappear. The song is immensely angry, dark, and direct. If you've ever wanted to spit in someone's face but lacked the courage or it was socially unacceptable, then this track is just right for you."

´The Last Joint of Marie Juana - A Hippie Crime´

The year 1999 is coming to an end. The old hippies Sabine and Michi are still trapped in the flower power era. They are slowly longing for change – they are ripe for the island. The invitation to the big millennium party "HIGH END" on the tiny island of Hellegraskog comes just in time. This island, owned by beach chair tycoon Tim le Ary, serves as the venue for a retreat for "opening" on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Woodstock. The spirit of the 70s is invoked, and the colorful mix of participants, from the old 68er hippies to the 90s party girls, plunges deep into the not yet completely forgotten world. With and in the grass, there is heartfelt and substantive work on oneself.

But then the unimaginable happens - a murder amidst the atmosphere of love, peace, and bliss. A lifeless figure lies in the white sand. Who pushed Marie Juana over the cliff?

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Rössli Illnau. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 5 PM, with admission starting at 4:30 PM.

Black Sabbitch - All Female Black Sabbath Tribute

BACK TO THE BEGINNING

"We don't just want to play Black Sabbath, we want to feel Black Sabbath from the bottom of our hearts." With this intent, the American all-female formation Black Sabbitch returns to Z7 two years after their celebrated Swiss premiere to once again immerse us in the early songs of the British metal pioneers deep into the seventies.

Black Sabbitch is not an ordinary tribute band. The four ladies from the USA impress even die-hard Sabbath devotees and have earned the respect of critics and musicians alike. They were personally invited by Sharon Osbourne to open for Ozzy. They rocked on the iconic Kiss-Cruise, as well as at the legendary Cal Jam with Iggy Pop and the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl shortly thereafter shared photos of the band's performance on his social media channels and wrote, "We were fascinated and listened intently." By now, Black Sabbitch has become a true festival favorite, regularly performing with some of the biggest acts in the world or thrilling Black Sabbath fans at their intense club shows. They often present varying setlists consisting of all-time classics and long-forgotten gems from the iconic Ozzy phase of the legends from the working-class city of Birmingham. "We are not an ordinary tribute band. We are the female Black Sabbath," confidently states Angie Scarpa, the drummer of Black Sabbitch. Founded fourteen years ago in LA, the musicians do not simply want to cover Black Sabbath's songs. "Since I have always been a huge fan of the band, I didn't want to just play covers in another boring ‘Hey, we sound like their records’ band. It had to feel right from the start. Just like it must have felt to see and hear Black Sabbath in 1972." With their concerts, the ladies regularly manage to transport their fans back to the seventies. With songs from the early days, when Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward traveled from the West Midlands to the wide world to make music history with their innovative, heavy, and dark rock sound. In the summer of 2013, Black Sabbitch played their very first show in West Hollywood. Since then, the quartet has been regularly touring the USA. In 2022, they expanded their activities to the UK, and in 2024, they performed at Wacken and played additional dates on the European mainland, including the Swiss premiere at Z7. Diebuehrers.com judged the performance in November 2024: "With strong stage presence and enormous musical ability, they powerfully showcased the dark and heavy sounds of songs like ‘War Pigs’ and ‘Children of the Grave’" and "the audience celebrated every minute of this intense set."

SYMPHONIC POWER IN PRATTELN

For the sixteenth time, the Americans Kamelot will perform in our concert factory in the fall of 2026. Over the past three and a half decades, the Americans have earned a reputation as one of the most influential and innovative Melodic Power & Symphonic Metal bands in the world. On November 6, 2026, they will come to the Z7 with their classics, a brand-new studio album, and guests Exit Eden and Temperance. A hot autumn night is guaranteed!

In April 2025, Kamelot posted a concert photo from the Z7 on their social media channels with the following text: “Switzerland!! See you in 2026!!” And yes, they are coming back to us at the Z7! On November 6, Kamelot will present new songs and a new stage show. With their unique blend of Symphonic, Melodic, and Power Metal, the US band is one of the most successful in the scene. Kamelot has already played ahead of Nightwish and Within Temptation at the top level. Founded in 1991, Kamelot has grown with the Z7. What first made its mark in Switzerland in 1998 as a curious young band became an act that was often featured on Viva and MTV and is now indispensable in the metal scene. In November 2026, the quintet will take the stage at the Z7 for the sixteenth time. Over the years, the band, centered around the last remaining founding member Thomas Youngblood, has refined their sound from album to album. Almost unusually for an American band, the group presents European songs that obtain a bombastic touch with opulent orchestral parts. In the world of hard rock, Kamelot occupies a very special position: Their sophisticated Melodic Metal has always cleverly opened up to related styles, integrating progressive elements as well as references to Doom/Gothic Metal or classical music, thereby establishing a genre of their own. Two years after their last Z7 show, Kamelot will return to Pratteln with new songs, a new stage show, and a great line-up to celebrate their 35th anniversary with fans.

Yes, you read correctly, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and myself, Dr. Watson, have found ourselves in Swabia. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. But our genius could not decline the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining at the same time in the adjacent room of the restaurant where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

Fleeing from his table neighbor, the endlessly chatty Swabian Baroness, the detective narrowly misses the alleged murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Granted, his health was not the best. But to suddenly fall face forward into the Maultäschlesupp is not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A dialect crime is on the horizon, an extremely tricky case at that, as the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. Questioning the witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes many innocence appear suspicious in the room. The famous detective eagerly and in high spirits engages his little grey cells. "Swabian cunning" quickly takes hold, but no false housebuilder can deceive the master that easily. For him, the solution to the case is clear soon. As always, he leaves us in the dark for a while before the murderer is skillfully captured.

But maybe you will have the solution soon as well, as you also have a word to say that evening.

The 3-course menu is served by the catering team at the Burgdorfer Schützenhaus. The Crime Dinner will start at 7:00 PM, promising thrills for your nerves and palate. Admission is at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site

Hardline - European Tour 2026

TIMELESS AOR GEMS

With the melodic rock hits from the debut album "Double Eclipse," the group Hardline achieved cult status in the early 90s. Singer Johnny Gioeli has continued the legacy of the AOR band since then with changing musicians. In November 2026, Hardline will once again review old and new songs at Z7. As support, Sevi from Bulgaria will rock our stage. The band, led by singer Svetlana Bliznakova, has accompanied Hardline several times in Pratteln and made a fantastic impression.

With the album "Double Eclipse," Hardline established a monument in 1992. With the highest musical quality, fantastic melodies, a unique voice, and the perfect mix of power and emotion, Hardline delivered a milestone of AOR with their debut. Every song has hit potential and still makes the hearts of melodic hard rock fans soar today. The lineup from the 92 album is long gone, but powerhouse Johnny Gioeli has repeatedly revived the band and carried on the legacy with changing musicians. Meanwhile, what started as an all-star project has become a real band. Since the release of the album "Danger Zone" in 2012, Hardline has offered a straightforward, riff-based melodic hard rock sound that represents a continuous development of the sound offering. Presented by a group of musicians who have become a unity, with each member contributing their personality and strengths to the anthemic rock songs. The expressiveness of singer Johnny Gioeli combined with the production and songwriting skills of Alessandro Del Vecchio (Revolution Saints, Jorn etc.), the shredding talents of guitarist Andrea Seveso, and the powerful rhythm section consisting of bassist Anna Portalupi and drummer Marco Di Salvia merge into an unbeatable entity. This is also evident in the current album "Heart, Mind and Soul." Johnny Gioeli raves: "I can never get enough of listening to this album. 'Heart, Mind and Soul' is without a doubt one of my absolute favorite records by Hardline."

dArtagnan - Helden & Hymnen - Die Jubiläumstour 2026

HEROES & ANTHEMS: 10 YEARS OF DARTAGNAN

On November 13, the Z7 will once again be filled with full force folk-rock power with capes, swords, gunpowder smoke & thunderous roars. The Musketeer rockers dArtagnan celebrate the first decade of their fantastic career with the "Helden & Hymnen - Jubiläumstour 2026". The opening acts will be the folk-metal pirates Storm Seeker and the folk-punk tough guys Doppelbock.

The three friends Ben Metzner, Tim Bernhard, and Gustavo Strauss from Nuremberg, better known as dArtagnan, confidently promote their atmospheric folk-rock hit sound as Musketeer rock. What does it sound like? "Many of our songs are closely intertwined with traditional songs, with melodies that echoed through the streets hundreds of years ago. And yet, our music certainly still fits into today's time." Since 2015, dArtagnan has been winning the hearts of listeners with their hits, storming the charts, and receiving numerous awards. On the upcoming tour, the musicians will reflect on their previous career. "Friends, companions, musketeers. It's hard to believe: for ten years we have been traveling the lands with our songs. A whole decade full of adventures, unforgettable concerts, sweat, tears - and above all: endless friendship. In 2026, our first album 'Seit an Seit', which was awarded gold, will celebrate its tenth anniversary, and we want to celebrate this milestone with you twice as much. After the grand response to our 'Heldenfest' in Wuppertal, we quickly decided to play an entire anniversary tour. In 13 selected locations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, we want to toast with you to everything that was, everything that is, and everything that is yet to come." The greatest musical moments from a decade of dArtagnan will be celebrated, along with life and the love for music. And of course, dArtagnan has a few new surprises in store that will make these evenings truly special. "This is our thank you to you. To the loyal friends who have accompanied us for years, without whom none of this would ever have been possible. So raise your glass, warm up your voices, and sharpen your swords: heroines and heroes, sing with us the anthems - and celebrate with us on the 'Helden & Hymnen' tour ten years of dArtagnan."

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Criminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup‘ – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish setting surrounded by an exciting criminal case at PARK Lange Erlen in Basel.

‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup‘

Yes, you read that right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian land. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not refuse the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining in the adjoining room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

While fleeing from his dining companion, the endlessly chatting baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health condition wasn’t the best. But to suddenly fall face-first into the Maultäschlesoup is not the refined English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the thus far deadeningly boring evening is saved.

A crime is afoot, an exceedingly tricky case moreover, because the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic doctor, and some of the dinner guests makes several innocent little lambs in the room appear suspicious.
Eager and in good spirits, the famous detective revs up his little gray cells. “Swabian cunning” is already taking hold, but no false builder leads the master astray so quickly. For him, the solution to the case soon becomes clear. As always, however, he keeps us in the dark a little while longer before the murderer is virtuously apprehended.

You may also soon have the solution at the ready, as you will have a word to say this evening too.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team at PARK Lange Erlen. The crime dinner kicks off at 7 PM, promising thrills for the nerves and the palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Walter Trout

BLUES ROCK LEGEND

Walter Trout is considered one of the best guitarists of all time in expert circles. He has played with greats like John Lee Hooker and John Mayall and was a member of the legendary Canned Heat. As a solo artist, the blues rocker from Ocean City, New Jersey has released over 30 albums. In the fall of 2026, Walter Trout will come to Z7 with his current album "Sign Of The Times" and songs from five decades of his career.

On stage, Walter Trout, who celebrates his 75th birthday on March 6, feels at home. Every show by this passionate musician is a feast for the senses for blues and rock enthusiasts. Few artists play with as much fire, soul, and honesty as Walter Trout. For over five decades, this blues rock titan has poured his heart into every note, processing the highs and lows of life in his distinctive guitar sound and his experience-shaped voice. In 2026, Walter will return to European stages to delight us with his extraordinary abilities. Each performance is a celebration of survival, a defiant cry, and a soul connection, united by the unbreakable spirit of the blues. From soulful ballads to exhilarating rock anthems – Trout's live shows are raw, emotional journeys that overwhelm the audience. Accompanied by a world-class band, including his son Jon, who has been masterfully handling the guitar strings for several years. The father-son duels have become one of the outstanding highlights of every Trout show.

In 2025, the tireless artist released his latest album "Sign Of The Times." Great artists feel the pulse of the times. In his half-century as a societal observer and brutally honest songwriter, Walter Trout has never dictated to his fans what to think, feel, politically represent, or scrawl on their protest signs. Yet in a time when the entire world is bursting at the seams on the frontlines of modern life, the new album serves as a cry and the outlet we all urgently need. "I wanted to express the anger and fear in the world," says the musician. "For me, writing these songs was therapy. They are not just about what is happening out there, but also about how it affects us in our heads. 'Sign Of The Times' was simply the obvious title." With the new songs, Walter Trout comes to Pratteln once again in November. Whether you've known him since the Bluesbreakers days or are just discovering him – here you have the chance to experience a true icon in her element. Unadulterated and without frills. With real music, real stories, and pure energy.

ERRA + Currents

METALCORE-MANIA

In November, we present the fattest Metalcore package of the year 2026. The relentless tour convoy is led by the scene giants ERRA and Currents, who together form the spearhead of this tour as co-headliners. While ERRA sets another milestone in their career with the new album "Silence Outlives The Earth," Currents delivers the perfect counterpoint of hardness and atmosphere with their current EP "All That Follows." Supporting acts Caskets and Aviana will ensure multiple coregasms.

ERRA:
Founded in 2009 in Birmingham, Alabama, ERRA represents modern progressive metalcore with technical finesse and plenty of atmosphere. Heavy riffs collide with melodic vastness and the switch between screams and clean vocals. With songs like "Echo Sonata" and "Further Eden," they gave an early glimpse into their new album "Silence Outlives The Earth" (Release: March 6, 2026). The album feels at times more open and emotional, without losing intensity – another strong step in the band's development.

CURRENTS:
The US band Currents combines dark metalcore with djent elements, massive breakdowns, and melodic parts. Frontman Brian Wille shapes the sound with his switch between clean singing and screams, while the songs often tackle existential themes. With the EP "All That Follows" (2026), the band shows itself to be more experimental and personal than ever – an intense, high-energy set is guaranteed.

Gazelle - Comedy Perle

In her first live comedy tour, Gazelle talks about her life as a craftsman's daughter and a newly minted dog mommy - with a typical Gazelle sprinkle of self-irony and a satirical look at our society.

In autumn 2026, comedian and social media sensation Gazelle will launch her first solo live comedy tour, performing in a total of nine major cities in Germany. In her program, the 37-year-old discusses growing up as a craftsman's daughter and the ups and downs of being a dog mommy in Berlin. With her usual Gazelle charm, she critically examines us as a society and tackles nothing less than her own identity. Following the motto: Who am I actually, and if so, can I wear pink while doing it?

Gazelle has been successful on social media since 2021, captivating a following of 390,000 people on TikTok and 270,000 on Instagram with her satirical videos. There, she not only discusses what is "typically German," but also prompts reflection with social commentary addressing issues of queerness and being trans*. However, her live show will cover even more: “I believe that those who like my content will also enjoy my humor and what I talk about on tour,” explains Gazelle, “but stand-up tells the stories in a completely different and new way. I have the opportunity to share everything that has no place on social media. I can basically introduce myself all over again."

On her tour, Gazelle will be accompanied by different artists. Who they are will not be revealed yet. “I definitely want to share my stage with other artists that I personally like. I want to present a program that not only others will enjoy but one that I can fully stand behind 100%.” The audience can look forward to an evening completely without filters - but filled with plenty of charming self-irony and brutally funny insights into Gazelle's life.

DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Consciously, the production eludes the countless interpretations that the work has undergone in its more than two-hundred-year history. The Lindau Magic Flute is set in a fairytale land.

Every viewer may and should find and invent their own story in the Magic Flute.

STAGE HISTORY
The world premiere took place on September 30, 1791, at the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden - a suburban Viennese stage. Still in October 1791, the Magic Flute had nearly twenty performances, and in the following months it remained successfully on the program of the Viennese stage. A year later, on October 25, 1792, it was performed with great success in Prague, followed by performances in Munich, in 1793 in Frankfurt a. M., and finally in 1794 in Berlin and Weimar.

The New Roses - Down & Dirty Tour 2026

80s HARD ROCK IN STADIUM FORMAT

The New Roses from Wiesbaden are back at Z7 with their exhilarating stadium rock anthems. Finest 80s groove and plenty of live energy guaranteed. Supporting them are the rising French glam rockers Harsh, bringing endless Sunset Strip vibes.

The New Roses are among the most successful German rock acts, achieving chart success and heavy rotations on rock stations in Germany and Great Britain with their albums and singles for years. After performances at international festivals such as Wacken, Hellfest, or Sweden Rock, and shows with big names like Kiss, ZZ Top, Black Stone Cherry, Joe Bonamassa, or Die Toten Hosen, as well as tours with artists like the Scorpions, Saxon, Accept, and Tremonti, along with countless club shows as headliners, The New Roses are now familiar to every fan of refined 80s rock. The quartet from the Hessian capital also entered the legendary Kiss Cruise in 2018 and 2019 as the first German band. So far, the band has released six acclaimed albums. Musically, the band delivers top-notch American rock. Bon Jovi in their prime are often referenced. There are plenty of stadium-worthy songs, hard riffs, and powerful drumming, catchy choruses, and pronounced melodies alternating with authentic rockin' Americana tracks. And of course, The New Roses always show their softer side. At times, a gripping mid-tempo ballad or a touching acoustic piece resonates, where frontman Timmy showcases the full range of his voice. On stage, The New Roses also deliver across the board. Tinu from Metalfactory.ch wrote about the Z7 gig in December 2024: "With 'The Usual Suspects' and the sung-along 'Down By The River,' an extraordinary concert evening came to an end, one of the most moving of the year. The New Roses seem to add a few more bricks with each gig. The infectious joy of playing, the incredibly distinctive and amazing vocals, as well as the international flair that the guys have earned will eventually fill stadiums."

NEW ALBUM – OLD RAGE

The NY hardcore legends Pro-Pain are back in action. For the 35th anniversary of the formation, guitarist Eric Klinger has returned. With the album "Stone Cold Anger," there is finally new Pro-Pain music again. The hefty new record shows that the band led by singer/bassist Gary Meskil has lost none of its original force and unrestrained rage from its early days.

Surpassing themselves with each new album is probably the biggest challenge for a band. Especially when eleven years have passed since the last release and the predecessor made quite an impact. To achieve this ambitious goal, Pro-Pain has brought back their old guitarist Eric Klinger. And even the two advance singles from the new album "Stone Cold Anger" (release: May 15, 26) have shown that Pro-Pain need not worry about their reputation as an exceptional presence in the New York hardcore scene. Since their groundbreaking debut album "Foul Taste Of Freedom," which was nominated for various awards in the early nineties, the uncompromising group led by band founder Gary Meskil has earned the affection and respect of countless fans around the world and is rightly considered a true hardcore metal legend today. All albums are hard to surpass in intensity, inspiration, and honesty. And the latest offering is no exception. After the long release hiatus, the hardcore heavyweights are back with album number 16 in a loud way. On their label debut at Napalm Records, the scene icons show themselves from their most explosive side: "Stone Cold Anger" is, as the title suggests, angry and weighs a ton. Pro-Pain has lost none of their power. Exceptionally catchy, the new album supports gripping melodies with both inciting angry and anthemic vocals, making the new songs worthy successors to the 3.5 million times streamed hit "Voice Of Rebellion" (2015). The long-awaited work opens with the hard-hitting "Oceans Of Blood," an energetic track that immediately confirms that Pro-Pain are unstoppable even after three and a half decades. Gary Meskil and his musicians have remained musical and political idealists who have not deviated an iota from their relentless stance. These and other qualities will also be brought to our Z7 stage by Pro-Pain on the occasion of the “35th Anniversary Tour 2026.”

Hämatom - Gagamania 2026

GAGAMANIA TOTAL

Ahoy dear freaks and Gaga maniacs! Hämatom are going on a big concert tour again in 2026 and are coming to us at Z7. It will be loud, colorful, shrill, and quirky - the escalation continues. The "Gagamania Tour" once again brings the brutal, yet chart-compatible mix of provocative lyrics, groovy metal, and New German Hardness to our hall. The special guests J.B.O. and Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt ensure a wild start to a spectacular concert night.

Since their founding in 2004, Hämatom have been delighting fans with their unmistakable powerful sound. They shout out their socially critical messages point-blank and straightforward, and now look back on two exciting and turbulent decades. In 2026, Hämatom invite you to the craziest tour in their band's history. The masks are polished, the amplifiers cranked up to the max - Hämatom return to the stage with full force. With their "Gagamania Tour," these four exceptional personalities not only bring their usual explosive live fireworks but also open a whole new chapter in their band's history. What starts as a normal live show becomes an event that turns all previously known concert nights upside down. Like at a completely crazy carnival, you move from one absurd attraction to the next. And before you know it, a stilt-walking freak hands you cotton candy while you actually wanted to sing karaoke.

After the success of their last album and sold-out shows in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, Hämatom are ready for a tour in 2026 that breaks all boundaries: wilder, louder, crazier - Gagamania is both name and program. The band promises a unique experience between madness and reality, between brutal metal, gripping hooks, and an audiovisual spectacle that seeks its equal. For this extraordinary tour, Hämatom have brought two very special special guests on board: with J.B.O., the masters of fun metal, anarchic humor meets pink metal power. A guarantee for party and fun at the highest level. Additionally, Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt bring their electronically driving sound, creating completely new sound worlds – somewhere between ecstasy and a state of emergency. These will not be ordinary concerts; they will be true experiences. A brightly shining parallel universe called Gagamania that you won't be able to shake off once you've experienced it. Don’t miss this spectacle. Welcome to "Gagamania 2026."

Das schwäbische Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary delight and thrill: Guests at Hof zu Wil in Wil are offered quite a lot: Exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The Kriminal Dinner – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an interactive crime piece:

`A Thick Crime`

The absolute highlight in the quaint Swabian town is the annual performance by the cultural association. This year, due to great success, the play "Faust I" by Goethe will be performed again. However, the main role must be recast in a public audition. The board of the association has warmly invited the local population to participate. The well-known actress of Mephista, Linda Bergmann, is also present to assist. The audition goes surprisingly well until a sudden death throws the relaxed evening into chaos. Are there criminal machinations at play? Who can trust whom now?

The previously flawless cooperation of the cultural association and the small Swabian community shows cracks and threatens to fall apart. Marlene Dieterle, not only the chairwoman of the cultural association but also a commissioner and head of the homicide department, takes over the investigations.

Ultimately, all threads lead together:

What happened during the previous night at the extravagant farewell party of the former Faust actor? Could there have been a mix-up between play and reality? The case is painstakingly reconstructed, with some guests coming under suspicion. Commissioner Dieterle urgently requests assistance to solve the mysterious case.

The tempting multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hof zu Wil. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 5 PM, with entry from 4:30 PM.

Entry: 4:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on site.

ZOMBIE-METAL IN Z7

Fascinating storytelling, brilliant songwriting, and musical skill: with these ingredients, the Nuremberg-based Dominum conquered the metal scene three years ago. In December 2026, Dr. Dead and his zombies will present their unrestrained power metal with horror appeal for the first time as headliners on our stage. They will bring their new third album (Release: July 2026) along on tour.

The Nuremberg power metal sensation Dominum burst onto the scene in 2023 with a bang: they immediately reached the top 20 of the German album charts with their debut album "Hey Living People" and won a lot of fans with their horror-inspired lyrics, powerful compositions, vibrant covers of Dead or Alive, Billie Eilish, or Midnight Oil, and theatrical performances. The mastermind behind the project is singer Felix Heldt, who has made a name for himself as a songwriter and producer for bands like Feuerschwanz and Visions Of Atlantis. As Dominum's frontman Dr. Dead, he takes listeners into the world of the undead and tells stories of zombies, the struggle for survival, and an insatiable greed for more. With the debut album, Dominum conquered European stages as a support act for scene giants such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Feuerschwanz, and Peyton Parrish or through celebrated festival shows in front of tens of thousands of fans. At the end of 2024, the second installment followed. The zombie metal combo unleashed the undead again with "The Dead Don't Die" and climbed this time into the top 10 of the charts. In addition to ten new tracks, Dominum served a fat cover version of the Scorpions' belter "Rock You Like A Hurricane." With their two albums, Dominum was also regularly seen in Pratteln over the past few years. In December 2023, they presented themselves in the opening act for the Apocalyptic Riders for the first time to fans. In December 2024, they were guests with Feuerschwanz again. In December 2025, the next performance followed as a special guest of Battle Beast. Meanwhile, the power zombies have developed from a premium opener to the main act and will come to Pratteln in December 2026 with their third album, which will be launched at the sold-out Rockharz Festival in July, for the first time as headliners.

Eisheilige Nacht 2026 - We Will Folk You!

EISHEILIGE NACHT 2026 – WE WILL FOLK YOU!

Since 2009, SUBWAY TO SALLY has been concluding the year with the Eisheiligen Nacht – an indoor festival where the band joins forces with friendly artists and transforms the last days of the year into a loud, exuberant concert party.

Under the headline "We Will Folk You," the Eisheilige Nacht 2026 is marked by a special friendship: SUBWAY TO SALLY and FIDDLER’S GREEN have been shaping the folk and rock scene in the German-speaking world for about 35 years. Both bands have found their own ways to blend traditional sounds with modern rock energy – one with medieval and folk metal, the other with Irish speed folk. On tours and festivals, their paths have crossed time and again, turning colleagues into allies and finally into close friends.

In 2026, SUBWAY TO SALLY and FIDDLER’S GREEN will share the top of the line-up and make it clear together what the evening is going to be: a single, big, loud, danceable explosion. The hosts SUBWAY TO SALLY will delve deep into their now multi-decade spanning discography and combine classics with newer songs. FIDDLER’S GREEN will bring all their live experience: fast tunes, sing-along choruses, and the typical Irish drive that leaves no moment of stillness.

This package is further enhanced by MANNTRA, bringing their powerful, dark mix of rock, metal, and folk elements to the stage, as well as SAINT CITY ORCHESTRA, who will provide additional movement in the audience with their vigorous folk-rock and punk influences. Together, the four bands create a line-up that relies on live energy from the first to the last minute.

The Eisheilige Nacht 2026 remains what it has been for years: a year-end celebration among friends – on, in front of, and behind the stage. Those who want to know what "We Will Folk You" means will find the answer in the mosh pit.

For years, Katja Berlin has captivated millions of audiences with her legendary pie charts. What began as a satirical infographic has long evolved into its own stage format: clever, pointed, unexpectedly political – and always deeply funny.
Her latest book “When an Idea is Considered Good” collects the most recent socially critical graphics from Katja Berlin on the major issues of our time: right-wing shifts, climate crisis, misogyny, social cutbacks, and why online shopping is so annoying.
She now brings these topics live to the stage – with new charts, sharp wit, and precise observational skills. Between statistics, satire, and self-irony, she breaks down decision-making processes, majority opinions, and societal dynamics into their components. What appears soberly turns out to be a highly comedic analysis of our time.
“Die Torten der Wahrheit” 2026 promises an evening full of clever punchlines, surprising shifts in perspective, and very clear pie charts. A program for all those who want to know how we can maintain our humor in times of crisis.
The 2026 tour will take Katja Berlin to 13 cities, including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Vienna, and Zurich. Tickets for “Die Torten der Wahrheit” will be available from 02.03.2026 at katjaberlin.reservix.de, promising an evening that shifts between punchlines and political insights, with a clear view of what we collectively accept as “truth” – or not.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

Culinary enjoyment and thrills: Guests at the Tropen-Restaurant Florida in Studen are in for a treat: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The COMEDY Kriminal Dinner – it's a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by a criminal play:

“Testament à la Carte“ - a testament opening with a bite!

Prof. William Chattney is dead. He was a renowned scientist. However, before the will can be read, the life of the deceased must be reconstructed with the help of the guests. Actually not a problem, if it weren't for Detective Johnson. He is investigating, as Chattney's death is considered a violent crime.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to the grave? Notary Mr. Green and his loyal assistant Manfred have their hands full: They are checking the surveillance cameras of the estate, reading with the help of Herbert Wandschneider from the future, and Dr. Sten-Gelle combines cosmic energy with science, all in order to solve the mystery. In the end, however, it is Extreme Norbert, supported by the audience, who initiates the turnaround.

The actors spontaneously involve the audience repeatedly through their extensive experience as improvisational artists in the crime story. Culinary delights and entertainment, unpredictable developments and astonishing twists alternate.

The two performers make use of diverse means of expression, play several characters, and have a keen sense of the audience. Their joy of playing is barely containable and delights the crowd. "The sparkling uncertainty and the moment of surprise – both in the audience and on stage – that is what makes it exciting."

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at the Tropen-Restaurant Florida. The thrill for nerves and palate begins at 7 PM, with admission starting at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and play are included in the price / Tables and seating will be assigned on-site.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Swabian Criminal Dinner 'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup' – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an exciting criminal case at the Hotel Restaurant Alpenblick in Weggis.

'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesoup'

Yes, you read that right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian region. Admittedly, not entirely willingly. However, our genius couldn't turn down the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining just at the time in the adjoining room of the restaurant where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

While escaping from his chatty table neighbor, the endlessly chattering Swabian baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health condition wasn't the best anymore. But to suddenly fall forward into the Maultäschlesoup is also not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the otherwise deadly boring evening is saved.

A dialect crime mystery is on the agenda, an extremely tricky case as well, since the investigation results seemingly rule out any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic doctor, and some of the dinner guests makes many an innocent little lamb appear suspicious in the hall. Eager and in high spirits, the famous detective cranks his little gray cells into action. "Swabian cunning" is already spreading, but no false builder can deceive the master so quickly. For him, the solution to the case will soon be clear. As always, however, he keeps us in the dark for a while longer before the murderer is virtuously revealed.

However, perhaps you will soon have the solution at the ready as well, since you will also have a say in this evening.

The 3-course menu will be served by the gastro team of Hotel Restaurant Alpenblick. The crime dinner will kick off at 7 PM, promising excitement for nerves and palate. Admission is at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and theatrical performance are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on site.

live/wire - The Swiss Tribute to AC/DC

HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK’N’ROLL

What would December be like in Z7 without live/wire? Year after year, Europe's best AC/DC tribute band creates an electrifying atmosphere as the year comes to an end – a tradition that will continue this winter as well. On December 18 and 19, the five full-blooded rockers return to the Pratteln rock temple and unleash a spectacular fireworks display of hits from the Australian rock giants over two evenings – accompanied by hellish bells, bagpipes, and the thunderous crash of cannons. Just like the motto: Let There Be Rock!

For more than five decades, the name AC/DC has stood for uncompromising hard rock and legendary live shows. Over 200 million records sold and world tours in sold-out arenas speak for themselves. More than 20 years ago, the formation live/wire emerged from the Basel region through the merger of the two cover bands Riff Raff and Jailbreak – and since then, they have been the most authentic AC/DC tribute that Europe has to offer. With incredible joy of playing and a meticulously accurate show, the five musicians send their audience into ecstasy night after night. Singer Däny comes astonishingly close to his idol Brian Johnson with his voice, facial expressions, and flat cap – one might believe the original was on stage. Guitarist Cello hits every note like Angus Young with his Gibson SG and leaps around the stage in a school uniform as if he had never done anything else. Adi provides the typical, straightforward Malcolm groove with his Gretsch, while Ronny on drums delivers the right punch in the best Phil Rudd manner. The sound is rounded off by Beat, who solidifies the foundation in the style of Cliff Williams with his four strings. Since their debut in the fall of 2002, the band has continuously developed, and their repertoire now includes over 50 songs from four and a half decades of AC/DC history. The sound is faithful to the original, the show full of energy – and together, live/wire brings the spirit of AC/DC to a new level with every show. Anyone who has been there knows: This is not just a cover band; this is pure passion. So: Hop on the Rock’n’Roll Train or take a course on the Highway to Hell – Z7 will become the party zone for all AC/DC fans. Two evenings. One band. And plenty of High Voltage Rock’n’Roll.

Orden Ogan + Ensiferum - Tour Of The Grave 2027

TOUR OF THE GRAVE

Orden Ogan is at the forefront of modern Power Metal – dark, melodic, and technically skilled. Classic metal structures meet cinematic breadth and a strong sense of atmosphere and storytelling. In January 2027, Orden Ogan will come to the Z7 with their new masterpiece "Lords Of The Grave" – and will bring along the Finnish folk metal giants Ensiferum as a high-profile special guest. Band leader Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann explains: "Although we come from different subgenres, our styles complement each other excellently. This tour combines epic force, melody, and intensity at the highest level – exactly what both bands stand for."

Germany's melodic power institution Orden Ogan is set to provide a strong start to the concert year 2027. The new tour will kick off on January 7th in Munich, one day after the release of the new album "Lords Of The Grave". With two consecutive top-3 albums ("Final Days" and "The Order of Fear"), a nearly completely sold-out headline tour in 2025, and massive festival shows that have long reached headliner level, Orden Ogan is among the dominating forces of modern Power Metal. Hardly any band in the scene combines epic storytelling, monumental live shows, and such a loyal fan base at this level. After their joint tour with Wind Rose, Orden Ogan is now announcing their biggest and most ambitious concert tour to date: the "Tour Of The Grave". The new album marks the next stage of development for the band. Musically, "Lords Of The Grave" continues the course uncompromisingly: darker, heavier power metal interspersed with massive walls of guitars, sublime melodies, and choruses made for arenas. What to expect from the upcoming tour is explained by Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann: "An even more epic show than ever before. Those who know Orden Ogan know that our shows are always a huge party with the audience – but this tour will be the biggest of all parties."

Joining them on stage is one of the most influential folk metal bands in Europe, Ensiferum. For decades, the Finns have been blending Nordic folklore with melodic intensity, hymn-like force, and epic choruses. With their unmistakable style of folk, Viking, and melodic death metal, Ensiferum has built a loyal fan base worldwide and is one of the defining bands of their genre. The shared history with Orden Ogan goes back a long way: as early as 2008, Ensiferum headlined the WinterNachtsTraum festival organized by Orden Ogan. Almost two decades later, two established European metal acts meet again – a package that combines epic melodies, powerful intensity, and exhilarating live energy. Copyright: k.A.

U.D.O. - Triple Anniversary Tour 2027

UDO IN CELEBRATION MOOD

Udo Dirkschneider is celebrating a triple anniversary in 2027! 75 – 40 – 20 is the magic formula: The German metal legend turns 75, his formation U.D.O. has been around for 40 years, and in the anniversary year, he will release album number 20. With the “Three Times Anniversary Tour,” U.D.O. will come to Pratteln in January to celebrate a big party with the Swiss fans.

Actually, Udo Dirkschneider was supposed to follow in his father’s footsteps and take over the family tool factory in Wuppertal. But as his musical commitment grew stronger, he had to make a decision at a young age: “Take over the company, or step into madness – so I stepped into madness.” Luckily for all metal fans. With his bands Accept, U.D.O., or Dirkschneider, the singer has written music history over the last five decades and has become the epitome of the Teutonic metal frontman. Since the 80s, his distinctive voice has shaped countless metal classics. Udo is a true icon of the genre, continually redefining its history. This is also true in 2027. A big year for the musician, as Udo will celebrate his 75th birthday on April 6. He gives himself the best gift. With his formation U.D.O., he will deliver - just in time for the tour kick-off - the twentieth studio album since the band's founding in 1987. The “Three Times Anniversary” release tour will once again bring Udo and his fellow musicians to us at Z7 in January. One thing is clear, when Dirkschneider stands on our stage, it will be anthemic, brutal, and authentically over the top. For the last U.D.O. gig with the top-ten album “Touchdown,” Tinu from Metal Factory wrote: “They came, played, and tore the place apart. It was a great evening for a seasoned band that still has a hell of a lot to say in metal.”

Culinary enjoyment and thrill: Guests at Hof zu Wil in Wil are offered a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. Das Kriminal Dinner – a delicious 3-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an interactive crime play:

"Deadly Past"

Sir Barnabas Edwarson was murdered during his birthday dinner. That much is clear.
However, the police of the small county have not been able to solve the murder to this day, despite having hot leads.

Exactly one year later, the most famous detectives meet to finally solve this case.
The case is mysterious, as Sir Barnabas Edwarson had already invited these detectives to his birthday party a year ago. Did he suspect he wouldn't survive his birthday, and that the investigation would only be possible by high-profile detectives? Did Sir Barnabas leave clues that lead to the murderer or murderess? Or are there entirely different reasons behind it?

Things take an even more absurd turn when Sir Barnabas Edwarson suddenly appears himself. But he was murdered a year ago! Is someone playing a macabre game here?

The attending detectives take on the task of finally clarifying the events of this eerie evening.

The seductive 3-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hof zu Wil. The thrill for nerves and taste buds begins at 5 PM, with entry from 4:30 PM.

Grave Digger - Legends Never Die Tour '27

GERMAN METAL ATTACK 2027: LEGENDS NEVER DIE

The great Teutonic metal parade is rolling in. Led by the Ruhrpott legends Grave Digger, a massive, loud, and uncompromising metal package is coming to Pratteln in January 2027. As a special guest, Motorjesus will join with their high-octane metal. To kick things off, there will be hard riffs and crazy double-bass inferno from Warwolf.

Steel is being forged once again. In 2027, German heavy metal makes a powerful return to the stages of Europe. Under the banner "Legends Never Die," three mighty forces unite for a package that makes metal hearts beat faster. At the center is the cult band Grave Digger. With pioneering albums and unique anthems, Grave Digger has been one of the most defining and influential bands in the German metal scene since the early 80s. And even after more than four and a half decades in the relentless business, there are no signs of fatigue. Chris Boltendahl, Jens Becker, Marcus Kniep, and Tobias Kersting remain a serious force in the live sector, regularly releasing high-quality albums. With "Bone Collector," Grave Digger released their first album in January 2025 completely without keyboard passages. With new axeman Tobias Kersting, the band returns to long-forgotten trademarks. Raw, brutal, honest, and yet catchy, songs like "Bone Collector" or "Made Of Madness" thunder out of the speakers. The record is a manifesto of German heavy metal, old school at its finest, without rust and patina, always authentic. Rarely has the band sounded as versatile, energetic, fresh, and multifaceted as on this album. For the German Metal Attack, Grave Digger will come with a classic set from over four decades of band history as well as hard-hitting new material to once again prove that true legends never fade. Timeless classics like "Heavy Metal Breakdown," "Rebellion," or "Excalibur" meet brand new thunder anthems, creating an explosive mix of past and future.

Das Kriminal Dinner - Krimidinner mit Kitzel für Nerven und Gaumen

The Kriminal Dinner ‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘ – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting criminal case at the Hotel Schweizerhof in Zurich.

‘Sherlock Holmes und die vergiftete Maultäschlesupp‘

Yes, you read it right, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and yours truly, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Swabian countryside. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not once again decline the invitation from an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner. So here we are dining just at the time in the adjacent room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

While fleeing from his table neighbor, the endlessly chattering baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Well, his health was not at its best. But to suddenly fall face-first into the Maultäschlesupp is not exactly the refined English way to die, even in Swabia. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the previously deadly dull evening is saved.

A crime is afoot, an extremely tricky case at that, as the investigation results seemingly rule out any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes many a supposed innocent lamb in the hall appear suspicious.
Eagerly and in high spirits, the famous detective sets his little gray cells in motion. "Swabian cunning" begins to spread, but no false home builder will mislead the master so easily. For him, the solution to the case is soon clear. As always, though, he keeps us in the dark for a while before the killer is virtuously caught.

Perhaps you will soon have the solution as well, as you will also have a say this evening.

The 3-course menu is served by the gastro team at Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich. The Krimi Dinner will commence at 7 PM, promising to provide thrills for both nerves and palate. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Entry: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Tables and seating will be assigned on-site

“Testament à la Carte“ - an opening of a will with a bite!

Prof. William Chattney is dead. He was a famous scientist. However, before the will can be read, the life of the deceased must be reconstructed with the help of the guests. It would actually be no problem if it weren't for Detective Johnson. He is investigating, as Chattney's death is a violent crime.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to the grave? The notary Mr. Green and his loyal assistant Manfred have their hands full: They are checking the surveillance cameras of the estate, reading with the help of Herbert Wandschneider from the future, and Dr. Sten-Gelle unites cosmic energy with science, just to solve the riddle. In the end, it is still Extrem Norbert, who, supported by the audience, initiates the turnaround.

The actors spontaneously involve the audience time and again through their long-standing experience as improvisation artists in the crime story. Delicacies and entertainment, unpredictable developments and astonishing twists alternate.

The two performers use a variety of means of expression, play several characters, and have a keen sense of the audience. Their joy in acting is hard to restrain and delights the audience. “The thrilling uncertainty and the moment of surprise – both in the audience and on stage – that’s what makes the charm.”

You find yourself in the ballroom of the exquisite wellness hotel "Pachisi". The gala dinner is ready, and the kitchen already smells delicious. After the exhausting yoga afternoon, you truly deserve your dinner! Or did you rather burn off your energy with archery or water aerobics? Whichever group you were in - now you gather together for the festive feast and the exclusive presentation of the new board game "And you are out" - the game author will be present personally! Much to the dismay of yoga icon Eva Endlich, who would have preferred to send her guests to bed early. After all, tomorrow's program includes "Yoga at sunrise". But what was announced as a funny game night turns into bitter reality: A corpse hangs lifeless over the garden fence - with an arrow in the chest. A competition between the rival sports groups? Or a sinister version of the "Game of Life"? Roll the dice! It's about nothing less than the truth and the necessity to find the perpetrator(s)!

tAKiDA - SECTION 7 TOUR

ROCK RADIO HITS THAT GET UNDER YOUR SKIN

Since the release of their debut album in 2006, the alternative rockers Takida have been living in the fast lane. With their mainstream-ready rock radio material, the band initially won over their home country and eventually all of Scandinavia. Ever since the release of the 2024 album "The Agony Flame," the multi-Platinum musicians have been convincing rock fans across Europe with their catchy songs.

They lead radio airplay charts, perform in increasingly larger venues, and bring their unmistakable sound to a continuously growing fan base. The Swedish multi-Platinum group Takida is rushing from success to success. In 2023, the band embarked on their biggest tour to date, taking them through sold-out arenas in their home country and onto major festival stages throughout Europe, including one of the main stages at Wacken Open Air. Their "Smoke & Mirrors" tour in April 2024 continued the success story with sold-out shows in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With the latest album "The Agony Flame," their recognition increased even further. The band also made its debut on the Swiss charts with this album. The long player once again embodies the unmistakable Takida sound with its infectious, anthemic choruses. Singer Robert Pettersson presents himself in absolutely top form. With "The Lonliest Hour," the first song from the album, released as a standalone single beforehand and directly entering at number 1 on the German Rock Radio airplay charts, Takida also achieved their biggest radio success to date. With strong and emotional songs like "Your Blood Awaits You," "Third Strike," and "On The Line," "The Agony Flame" offers further hit candidates. The songs elevate Takida's thrilling live sets to the next level. And now, the band announces their return to Pratteln in spring 2027. Diebuehrers.com wrote about the last live show of the Swedes at Z7: "From the first note, the atmosphere among the fans was excellent, and there was no holding back. With hits like ‘Master’ and ‘Losing,’ the crowd went wild. The powerful voice of Robert Petterson gave the songs an unimaginable intensity. Fans enjoyed the set from the first to the last note. A concert that got under your skin."

Amorphis - Borderlands Tour 2027

MELANCHOLY & STRENGTH

Nordic melancholy meets progressive soundscapes and healthy strength: the cult band Amorphis comes to Pratteln with their unique blend of melodic death metal, folk, epic melodies, powerful metal anthems, and atmospheric sounds. On the “Borderland Tour 2027”, the Finns will present their current album. The supporting acts are Insomnium and Unto Others.

Since the 90s, Amorphis has been one of the most influential bands in their genre. With albums like “Tales From The Thousand Lakes” and “Queen of Time,” they have continuously developed their unmistakable sound, combining powerful riffs with profound lyrics often inspired by Finnish mythology. Fans of demanding, modern metal sounds will be well catered for here. On the ongoing tour, Amorphis presents their latest album “Borderline,” which was created in their first collaboration with Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Epica, Evergrey, among others). Esa Holopainen states: “Amorphis has an unmistakable sound and a unique approach to making music. Six strong personalities in the band certainly bring their own challenges to the production process – especially for the producer. Jacob was chosen for several important reasons: He has already worked with an impressively diverse array of artists and is an incredibly calm, creative, and resourceful producer.” The result sounds fantastic. Band leader Esa Holopainen seems to have an endless supply of brilliant melodies. Metal1.info writes: “The first association with ‘Borderland’ is joy of playing: when you hear these songs for the first time, you can directly envision the euphoria on the faces of the musicians as they work on these songs, playing the riffs, solos, choruses, bridges, and more. The fact that Amorphis dares to try one or two experiments greatly enriches ‘Borderland,’ but what’s more crucial is that the Finns have rethought established elements: Amorphis sounds unmistakably like themselves on ‘Borderland’ – yet also at times more melodic, at times heavier, and above all more compelling than ever before.” The Metal Hammer critic gives the top rating and concludes his review as follows: “This band sounds more Finnish than the Finnish national anthem and will surely be declared a national cultural asset soon.”

DELAIN DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE

DELAIN will open a new chapter in 2027 and present an extraordinary concert format on stage. Together with Marko Hietala and other guests, a unique live experience will be created that connects the past and future of the band. Fans can look forward to a special evening beyond a classic tour show.

For over two decades, DELAIN has established itself as a major force in modern melodic metal. Since the debut album "Lucidity," the band has represented a distinctive blend of catchy melodies, orchestral arrangements, and powerful guitars. Albums like "April Rain," "We Are the Others," and "The Human Contradiction" have shaped this journey, while "Dark Waters" (2023) marked the band's biggest success yet with top-10 placements in Germany and the US Hard Music Charts. Behind the band is mastermind Martijn Westerholt, who founded DELAIN after leaving Within Temptation and has been continuously developing it since.

In February 2027, DELAIN will embark on a special concept tour: instead of a classic show, the audience can expect a specially curated live format with changing high-profile guests and musical surprises. At the center of this is also the renewed collaboration with Marko Hietala, whose shared past has produced some of the most significant moments in the band's history. Other contributors will be announced at a later date. Simultaneously, the band is working on new material set to be released before the tour, marking the beginning of this new phase. With only a few selected dates, this tour promises an intense and unique concert experience that goes far beyond a typical live evening.

Whitechapel - Burn Forever Tour 2027

CULTIVATED BRUTALITY

For 20 years, Whitechapel from Knoxville have represented cultivated deathcore and death metal. With their ninth album "Hymns Of Dissonance", the Americans have returned in 2025 to the uncompromisingly brutal sound of their early days. In 2027, they will come to Europe with the "Burn Forever Tour" to knock out fans with their blastbeat anthems. Supporting acts: Sylosis, 200 Stab Wounds, and Tribal Gaze.

"Hymns In Dissonance" – the title of the current Whitechapel album is programmatic. "There is nothing beautiful about HID, from the riffs to the lyrics to the overall melody of the album. We tried to write our hardest album yet. We wanted to release something that is shockingly menacing and brutal," says guitarist Alex Wade about the band's latest work. "The album follows the story of a cultist who gathers people to join his cult. There are moments in this story where the cult followers sing an anthem to open a portal through which the main cultist can enter." The dynamic, brutal musicality of the band provides the perfect soundtrack to the captivating story that singer Phil Bozeman vividly imagines: "'Hymns in Dissonance' is a mockery of the true nature of hymns," he says. "Hymns are melodic and harmonious. Dissonance is the exact opposite of melody and harmony. It represents evil. And the tracks on the album represent the seven deadly sins." A critic from Metal Hammer magazine writes about the band's latest output: "We have only just gotten used to the fact that Whitechapel musically opened a new, quieter chapter in their band career with 'The Valley', which continued on the 2021 work 'Kin'. Those who expected a continuation of that will be not only surprised but also overwhelmed by 'Hymns Of Dissonance'!" He summarizes the relentless death storm as follows: "For over ten tracks, it rages on in every shade of red rage. The blastbeat machinery fires incessantly, and Philip Bozeman's diabolical vocals swing between growling growls and hissing shouts." There is truly no room for sentimentality.

Additionally, she should give up her hotel room to the band "The Dark Fairground." Last but not least, she hands Silvie her lapdog FrouFrou and departs for her next exhibition. When a blood-curdling scream is heard and the police cannot arrive in time, Silvie remembers her father, village policeman Luc Breton, and starts her own investigations. What has happened? Were there any deaths?

The finest culinary skills will be served to you in a multi-course menu by the kitchen team at Hotel Kettenbrücke. The thrill for nerves and taste buds starts at 7 PM, with entry from 6:30 PM.
