With a varied music programme, the Palace tracks down pop-cultural trends, interesting niches and surprising sounds.

The music programme always has its finger on the pulse of the times and aims to anticipate future developments in the music scene.

There is just as much room in the programme for the surprising and experimental as for the popular.

The musical guests come from near and far. The Palace always succeeds in engaging bands that strike a chord with the times.

Bands such as the xx, Courtney Barnett, Future Islands, Caribou, Young Fathers,

Mac de Marco and many more played their first gigs in Switzerland at the Palace.

Stahlberger, Jeffrey Lewis and Andreas Spechtl (Ja, Panik) were the most popular acts on the Palace stage.
