The Baloise Session is an intimate and renowned indoor music festival held annually in Basel, Switzerland. Unlike large open-air festivals, the Baloise Session is known for its cozy, seated concert environment, with audiences typically seated at candle-lit tables, creating a more personal and close-up experience between the artists and the audience. The festival’s unique setting and high-quality performances make it a favorite for both music lovers and performers.

The English ska band from Camden Town, London, who actually formed in 1976 has still the original line-up. They are back on tour and the music scene with their new album “Can’t Touch Us Now ”

When you see the frontman Graham”Suggs”McPherson hidden behind a pair of long black shades, wearing his long black coat and his famous black bowler hat, the saxophone player Lee Thompson dressed in a checkered suit hit the stage… You definitely know from the start it’s gonna be a hell of a MAD party!! And it was an impressive show! Starting with the big hit “One step beyond”, Suggs they combined new tracks from their new album with classic sing-along songs. One very touching moment from the Camden town “Nutty boys” was their new song “Blackbird ”, accompanied by on-screen visuals. You could slowly discover a famous face…What a beautiful tribute to the wonderful female artist “Amy Winehouse”. “All right, nutty boy?” were the few words she told Suggs a few days before she died in 2011 when she walked past down Dean street in London.

The event is sponsored by Baloise Group, a Swiss insurance company, which gives the festival its name. Held typically over a two-week period in autumn, it has garnered a reputation for providing not only exceptional music but also a premium, VIP-like experience, with tickets often selling out quickly.
