eurosonic 2020
Switzerland will be the focus country of the 2020 edition of Eurosonic. We are excited about this wonderful opportunity to showcase the Swiss music scene and introduce some of the artists and bands that represent our creativity and diversity! Switzerland may not be the birthplace of rock’n’roll, or hip-hop, or electronic music, yet we have world-class artists in all of those genres – and then some!
As focus country we will receive higher visibility and have more meeting places and work spaces at our disposal to promote the Swiss music industry and its activities, its culture, and its companies.
Would you like to promote your organisation in Groningen?
Please contact us! We are still accepting new partners and sponsors.

Say Hi! Soundwalk
THU-FRI | 16-17th | January
Soundwalks will give you a very personal experience of Swiss creative processes away from regular festival activities. During the course of 90 minutes, groups of 10 to 12 persons will be guided to three different stations where Swiss artists such as Asbest, Ikan Hyu, Bitter Moon, Emilie Zoé, Louis Jucker (Coilguns), Pascal Gamboni and Veronica Fusaro will offer intimate insights into their musical activities. Enjoy very personal exchanges, new encounters, and a slightly different access to the Swiss music scene while visiting some special locations in Groningen.
