Bandworkshops


Form a band & learn from the pros!

In the Helvetiarockt Bandworkshops you can experiment, discover new things and gain experience. You will rehearse with your new band for several months, led by professional musicians with many years of stage experience. Together you will try out different genres of music, improvise and develop your own style. For the grand finale, you will play your first concerts in spring and record a song in a studio. Do you already know how to play an instrument? Then take this unique opportunity to get to know our coaches and other passionate music lovers and help each other grow.

The next Helvetiarockt Bandworkshops will take place in Basel, Bellinzona, Bern, Chur, Lausanne, Geneva, St. Gallen and Wetzikon at the beginning of February 2025.

We accept registrations throughout the year. There are no strings attached. These workshops are for girls, women, inter, non-binary, trans and agender people.

The Bandworkshops in Basel and St. Gallen are now organized by partners (prices and conditions according to the respective partners).

Over twenty young girls, women, inter, non-binary, trans, and agender people have been rehearsing since February 2024 in band workshops across eight cantons and in three language regions. Together with their coaches, they have been working on songs and putting together a set that they will perform live in front of audiences in various Swiss cities in the fall of 2024. Now, 7 bands are coming together in Bern to take the stage with a spectacular Grande Finale show. Prepare for an unforgettable night featuring everything from pop and punk to chanson and hip-hop. The lineup includes the edgy and soft sounds of pullWunder (BL), the rock vibes of Ankylosaurus (TI), the chaotic charm of Sauce Bérnaise (BE), nostalgic psychedelia from Two Shoes (GR), covers and originals from Below Sea Level (GE), the jazz rock and bossa nova fusion of Jaylah (VD), and the delicate arrangements of Phoebe Bridgers fans from Strangers in the Alps (ZH).Headline Act: MuovipussiAfterparty: DJ Ms Joan and GAZ:elleIn collaboration with bee-flat Bern.More info here
