Seaside Festival
The Seaside Festival is nestled between vineyards on the beautiful bay of Lake Thun, with a fantastic view of Spiez castle and the Alps. It takes place on the same weekend as the SummerDays Festival in Arbon, and a closer look will reveal that the musical line-up is very similar—many of the musicians who play at one festival on Friday play at the other on Saturday and vice versa. On Friday, the musical line-up in Spiez is geared towards younger audiences, while Saturday’s programming tends to favor bands with a longer history. This year’s line-up includes James Blunt, The Kooks, Rag’N’Bone Man, Scooter, Tokio Hotel, 77 Bombay Street, Veronica Fusaro, and many more.
The festival grounds are located about 2 hours from Basel by car or 3 hours by train and can be reached in 10 minutes from the festival parking lot and a 5-minute walk from the main train station. Combination train–concert tickets travel discounts of 20% can be purchased through the SBB.
One-day passes are CHF 119 and 2-day passes are CHF 208. Children born 2010-2013 pay 50% less, and children born in 2014 and younger do not need a ticket or wristband for the Seaside Festival 2024 when accompanied by an adult. You can also treat yourself to an evening boat ride on the lake for CHF 25. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.ticketcorner.ch/artist/seaside-festival/.
