Zuger SEEfest
Zuger SEEfest is a free, one-day music festival that takes place along the promenade of Lake Zug, so you can enjoy the beautiful views while getting your groove on.
Zuger SEEfest
With over 20.000 attendees every year, it's the biggest festival in the Swiss canton of Zug and attracts visitors from all over the country. The lakeside area is given over to the event and will be filled with food stalls and refreshment stands, alongside the stages themselves.
The music starts at 4pm, making it a great event for the whole family, and there are three stages. The programme gradually evolves to match its audience through the day: the first band on are children's duo Billy & Benno, and the last ones standing are pop-punk band DELILAHS and the DJs Flaver&Lui at the dance stage.
The event is arranged by ZugSPORTS, an association that aims to promote exercise for everyone. So know that whether you're doing an embarrassing dad dance or unleashing some hardcore moves on the dance floor, you're also getting fit and finding your joy de vivre!
Who is playing at Zuger SEEfest?
A wide range of music is showcased at the festival. There's the Basement Saints, a duo that channel classic 70s and Southern Rock, and Nat Cartier & The Dream Team, a band that is perfect for fans of bombastic pop like Prince and Elton John.
Also appearing is The Voice contestant Melizza singing her heartfelt compositions and Seraina Telli performing with Mike Malloth as the Seraina Telli Acoustic Duo, doing stripped-back versions of her own songs as well as some covers of evergreen tunes given her unique treatment.
How to get to Zuger SEEfest
The main promenade area is just a 10-minute walk from the Zug central train station, so public transport is the best way to arrive. The organisers are very mindful that people come in from all over to attend Zuger SEEfest and have arranged five special late buses that run at 2am from Zug train station to various places.
The festival is free and you do not need any reservations to attend. It is an outdoor event, so let's just hope the Swiss weather stays fine! You can find out more about everything that is happening on the Zuger SEEfest website.
