ZOA 2025 – Zurich Open Air Music Festival

The 13th edition of Zurich Openair became a true highlight of Switzerland’s festival summer. With three new stage designs, over 100 international and national acts, and creative activations across the site, the grounds turned into a vibrant hub of music and culture. Across four days and nights, 87,000 visitors celebrated together in Zurich.

The line-up combined international superstars with Swiss favorites: Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, Anyma, Halsey, Apache 207, and Rita Ora performed alongside Dodo, Lo & Leduc, Manillio, and Milune, thrilling fans with diversity and energy.

Stage design reached new heights: the Main Stage, completely redesigned across 800 m², impressed with immersive LED technology and light architecture. The ZOA Stage also returned with a fresh new look, creating a unique atmosphere for unforgettable performances.

Beyond the music, guests enjoyed 40 food stands featuring everything from global street food to Swiss classics, styling corners, lounges, and the legendary Dance Circus for late-night electronic sets. A dedicated awareness team ensured a safe, respectful environment.

Festival director Rolf Ronner summed it up: “The success and positive feedback of this year’s edition fill us with joy. We are thankful to everyone who made Zurich Openair possible.”

Looking ahead, the dates are already confirmed: August 28–29 and September 4–5, 2026. Zurich Openair once again promises unforgettable moments of music, magic, and community.
