Except for some single-minded fans of genres like opera, or baroque chamber ensembles, it’s impossible for any music lovers of any stripe to attend the Zurich Open Air Festival and not find multiple performances to love. A musical melting pot, the three-day festival held in suburban Glattbrugg, features artists from an incredible array of genres, from ballads to electronic beats, and hard rock anthems to indie tunes. Jazz, blues, and folk join the diverse mix for good measure. The artists on stage represent some of the best in the business, as evidenced by lineup at this year’s (10th annual) rendition of the festival, which featured Robbie Williams, Zara Larsson, Bastian Baker, The Killers, The Chainsmokers and Paul Kalkbrenner to name a few.Read More »Zurich Open Air Festival’s Many Looks with CHAUVET Professional and FeedBack Show System & Service
