Label Suisse Lausanne – 16 – 18 Sept 2022
After a period of restricted service due to reasons too tedious to talk about yet again, the free festival Label Suisse, launched in 2004 by RTS, the French-Swiss branch of the national public service radio station, returns to normality mode.
Aiming to represent Swiss music in all its abundant stylistic and linguistic variety, Label Suisse creates networking opportunities for Swiss music business professionals. Even the Covid edition of the festival in 2020 boasted an impressive line-up of 85 acts performing in sixty concerts on seven different stages. This year’s real-life version is most definitely not going to be any smaller!
Apart from live music – yippee! – the festival also offers a wide variety of events designed to facilitate networking between music business professionals. All professionals are cordially invited to attend – naturally, we’d love to see you all there! Please note, however: for some of the events you will need to register beforehand.
Here are a few highlights from the programme:
*** FRIDAY 16 SEPTEMBER

The Big Label Market – No Label Suisse without Swiss labels
Village Label Suisse – 16h00
A dozen or so record shops and labels from the region will come to form – with a great deal of vinyls, turntables, cassettes and speakers – an ambush for diggers, whether they are neophytes or seasoned professionals. Spontaneity is the order of the day, and the chance of dj sets.
