The shores of Lake Constance once again became one of Switzerland’s most beautiful festival settings as SummerDays Festival 2026 took over Arbon on 28 and 29 August. With 24,000 visitors across two sold-out days, the festival brought together international stars, Swiss favourites and plenty of summer atmosphere.
Friday started with changing weather, but a little rain did nothing to stop the party. Anastacia brought her unmistakable energy to the stage, while Swiss rock legends Gotthard enjoyed the enthusiastic crowd and spectacular lakeside setting. Roxette delivered hit after hit before Nena closed the first evening with a memorable finale.
Saturday arrived with sunshine and Lake Constance at its most picturesque, complete with boats gathering around the festival grounds. Valentino Vivace provided the perfect soundtrack with his Italo Disco vibes, followed by Lo & Leducand an energetic performance from Max Herre & Joy Denalane.
One of the weekend’s most emotional highlights came from Tom Odell. His distinctive voice and piano performance created an intimate atmosphere as evening descended over the lake.
For the grand finale, Swiss band Hecht transformed the entire festival grounds into one huge party, closing SummerDays 2026 on a high.
With its unique waterfront location, relaxed crowd and mix of international and Swiss artists, SummerDays once again proved why it remains a highlight of the Swiss festival summer.
SummerDays returns to Arbon on 27–28 August 2027.
