STEPHAN EICHER (CH)

One of the most influential voices in Swiss music history. Since the 1980s, Stephan Eicher has been combining pop, chanson and poetry – multilingual, sensitive and timeless. With songs such as ‘Déjeuner en paix,’ ‘Engelberg’ or ‘Pas d’ami (comme toi),’ he has made music history – far beyond the borders of Switzerland. With his current album ‘Poussière d’Or,’ he brings twelve new songs to the stage – written with Philippe Djian and Martin Suter. Poetic, melancholic, timeless. Music that gets under your skin. And it is exactly this mix of classics and new songs that he will bring to Glarus. Always the same, always different – live on the Zaunplatz.

LEA WILDHABER (CH)

With her melancholic and honest lyrics, the singer-songwriter Lea Wildhaber has now touched a large audience. The singer from Sargans has already opened the stage for Swiss stars such as Marius Bear, James Gruntz and Linda Elys. With her ‘Swiss Covers’ and authentic ‘Indie-Artist-Vlogs’ on social media, she has made a name for herself in the Swiss music scene. In 2024, she was one of the finalists in the renowned ‘BandxOst’ music contest in Eastern Switzerland.

FLORIAN AST (CH)

Hardly any artist has shaped the Swiss dialect music scene as much as Florian Ast. With his big hits, he has long been part of the soundtrack of an entire country – and he has also enjoyed great success in Germany and Austria. What is he planning next? With Florian, you never know exactly what to expect. But one thing is certain: live performances are intense, honest and full of emotion.
