The biggest rock bands of Switzerland together on one stage.

This has never happened before! For the first time ever, the two biggest rock bands of Switzerland share the same stage on one bill. Gotthard and Krokus co-headline exclusively two shows in the German-speaking parts of Switzerland. Special guest Shakra is rounding out this unique monster package. For every rock fan an absolute MUST and the unique opportunity to experience Swiss rock history live in concert when Gotthard and Krokus rock together on one stage at Festhalle in Bern and at Eventpark in Zurich on Friday and Saturday, March 3rd & 4th, 2017 respectively!

It is an absolute first, when Gotthard and Krokus share the same stage in early March of next year. For more than 20 years Gotthard has been the most successful rock band nationally and one of the few Swiss bands that established themselves abroad as well, with regular Top 10 placements in the German charts and headlining tours throughout Europe, Asia and South America. After the tragic death of vocalist Steve Lee in 2010, many fans feared for the survival of the band. After an intensive period of mourning, the band was able to find a fitting successor in Australian resident Nic Maeder in autumn of 2011 - successfully! With the current record "BANG!" - which was named Best Album at the Swiss Music Award show - Gotthard released their 15th No.1 album and proved impressively that they are with this new line-up still pure rock a la Gotthard , live in concert as well as in studio recordings!

For over 40 years the name Krokus stands for best hard rock. This legendary band has been the most successful Swiss export in rock music since the early 80's. Touring extensively around the world with rock greats such as AC / DC, Judas Priest, Motörhead or Van Halen established their reputation as an exciting live band. No. 1 albums, gold and platinum awards not only in their native Switzerland, but also in the USA and Canada, are solid proof of the incredible success of Krokus. The fact that they are far from being done, proved Storace, von Rohr, von Arb and Company with their last studio work "Dirty Dynamite" and the steaming hot live album "Long Stick Goes Boom" in an impressive way - a much-needed, dirty load of stadium rock that Krokus uniquely delivers every time on stage!

Special guests Shakra are the opener for the two shows. Since the early 90's the Bernese band stands for "Swiss hard rock" and rock the stages of the world. With its former and new singer Mark Fox, Shakra just released their 10th and probably best album. Fans of Swiss rock can look forward to two super concerts that without a doubt will go down in history - Friday and Saturday, March 3rd and 4th, 2017 at Festhalle in Bern and Event Park in Zurich.
