Paléo Festival, 22-27 July 2025, Nyon, Switzerland

Nothing quite compares to the Paléo, as Sinead O’Conor famously sang, a festival of music, performance, art and food within spitting distance of Lake Geneva, the Jura and the beautiful vineyards that go with it. Someone has called it “the Glastonbury of Switzerland”, except it’s a little more relaxed… Six days of live music spread across eight stages in the middle of a surreal city of DIY palazzos, art spaces, countless food and merchandise stalls plus more than fifty bars. Oh, and well over 200’000 music fans gathered to enjoy an exceptionally varied program of live music from the big names (Queens of the Stone Age, Sex Pistols, Zaho de Sagazan, etc.) to the most exciting outliers and innovators. Small wonder the event is sold out within hours when the tickets go on sale in spring.

Needless to say, Swiss Music Export, too, loves Le Paléo. This year, we have invited seven international professionals to the festivals who will – obviously! – enjoy the best of Swiss rock’n’roll hospitality. And once again, in collaboration with our friends from the Fondation CMA, we will be presenting a couple of unmissable networking events.

Networking Events followed by Aperitifs at Cosmo (Paléo site)
Event 1: Wednesday, 23 July, 18:30
Event 2: Friday, 25 July, 18:30

Join us for a round of drinks or two, to meet old friends and new. Attendance is free for all accredited professionals.

We’d also like to draw your attention to an excellent selection of Swiss acts performing at the Paléo.
They are Alex Nantaya, Audrey Danza, Black Sea Dahu, Chien Bleu, Coilguns, Ele A, Flèche Love, Luvanga, Mairo, Milune, Moictani, Nemo, Olympic Antigua, SANTO & Mulah, Sami Galbi, Tendinites.
It’d be great to see you there!
