With Helvetiarockt, you can start your own band within a year. In our band workshops, experienced coaches guide you and your bandmates through the whole journey: from founding the band, to rehearsals, all the way to your very first concert.
Our workshops take place across Switzerland and are led by professional musicians. Together, you’ll try out different music styles, improvise, and develop your very own sound. The highlight comes in Autumn with your first live shows. Are you between 14 and 25 years old and do you identify as a girl, young woman, intersex, non-binary, trans or agender? Then this is for you – let’s go!
Registration for the 2026 band workshops (starting in February) is now open:
BERN, BASEL, GENEVA, GRISONS, NEUCHÂTEL, ST. GALLEN, TICINO, VAUD, ZURICH
The full workshop costs range between CHF 200, 400 and 500. We offer a sliding-scale pricing model – more details are available on the registration form.
The Bandworkshops in Basel and St. Gallen are now organized by partners (prices and conditions according to the respective partners).
Sign up – either alone or with friends who also want to join.
We’ll connect you with our local coaches.
Missing a drummer or a singer? No worries – the coaches put the bands together and make sure there are enough participants.
Once your band is complete, you’ll set rehearsal dates together.
Phase 2:
Rehearsals begin! Our coaches are there to guide you through the whole process
In addition to the regular rehearsals, the program includes two special weekend workshops: Performance and Soundcheck. In the Performance workshop, you’ll learn how to feel confident on stage and deliver your best show. In the Soundcheck workshop, you’ll discover how to do the soundcheck before your concerts
Phase 3:
In autumn, you’ll play your very first concerts, the Local Gigs!
At the Gran Finale, all the bands from across Switzerland come together for one big final show of the season

Depuis ce printemps, plus d’une vingtaine de jeunes filles, femmes, personnes intersexes, non-binaires, trans et agenres réparties dans huit cantons se réunissent pour répéter dans le cadre des bandworkshops, que nous proposons dans les quatre régions linguistiques. Grâce aux coaches qui les accompagnent, huit groupes sont nés et ont mis au point un set que le public aura la chance de découvrir en live à l’automne dans plusieurs villes de Suisse. Trois d’entre eux montreront le résultat de ce travail, une semaine avant de tous se retrouver pour le concert final à Berne. Venez les découvrir!
