A few years have passed since social distortion last stepped onto a Swiss stage. The four punk rock veterans from California used the time to write new material and let it mature. 2020 is harvest time and a European tour with a stop in Zurich on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 is on the program. In addition to fresh songs, the old classics like „Mommy’s Little Monster“, „Story Of My Life“ or „I Was Wrong“ are guaranteed to be on the ears. A cool beer in one hand, a good buddy in the arm; so young and old will sing along to the punk anthems in the Volkshaus,  toast to life and the good times and forget everyday worries for an evening. Even after more than 30 years and their soon eighth studio album, social distortion never tires and continues to write music that moves along, is euphoric and at the same time stimulates thought.

The grand masters of the Alternative Metal System Of A Down will return to Europe in 2020. Founded in 1994 and with just five studio albums, four US Armenians have become a globally celebrated institution. Not least because of their breathtaking live performance. In addition to festival appearances, two exclusive headline concerts in Berlin and Zurich have now been confirmed for summer 2020. Support will be provided in Berlin on June 8th by Special Guest Ego Kill Talent from São Paulo, who recently released their second album and toured Brazil with Metallica and Greta Van Fleet. There is also a special visit to Zurich on June 19: the Prog formation ORk.

There are not many bands in the world that are as unique and headstrong as System Of A Down. Her debut “System Of A Down” appeared in 1998 and turned the metal scene upside down. The wild mix of styles consisting of hard riffs, fast beats and Armenian folk sounds becomes the flagship of the band. In their texts, they take a sweeping look at society – sometimes dadaistically, sometimes lyrically, always directly in the face of the rulers.

The breakthrough into the mainstream was achieved in 2001 with the second release „Toxicity“. With songs like „Chop Suey“, „Toxicity“ and „Aerials“, SOAD create a masterpiece that is as intelligent as it is powerful in a politically heated time. In addition to great recognition from fans and critics, SOAD also achieves high chart placements, gold and platinum awards and sold-out tours bestowed on the whole world. Just a year later, „Steal This Album!“ Marks another milestone and the title also makes a political statement. In 2005 „Mezmerize“ and „Hypnotize“ are the last albums released by System Of A Down.

All five studio albums have achieved huge commercial success and have brought the band over 40 million records sold worldwide. Three of the albums debut at number 1 on the US Billboard album charts immediately after their release. Four Grammy nominations and one Grammy for the single „BYOB“ in the category Best Hard Rock Performance 2006 follow.

Often attempts have been made to categorize the band’s style, to impose a label on them, but SOAD cannot be pigeonholed. Frontman Serj Tankian says: “For me, SOAD is not a progressive band. But of course not a typical pop project either. For us it is first and foremost important to make music that is unique and that no one has heard before. „And bass player Odadjian adds:“ You can compare us with who you want. I’m not interested. Comparisons and drawers have no effect on SOAD. The fact is: we are who we are and the others are who they are.

“ In 2020 System Of A Down will return to the stages of the world. And so on June 19 in Zurich, an exclusive headline show offers the opportunity to experience one of the most powerful and diverse metal bands in the world live.

The tour of the album of the same name will stop for three dates in Germany and Switzerland next year: on May 30, 2020 in the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, on June 18 in the LANXESS arena in Cologne and on June 23 in the Hallenstadion, Zurich,

The new album will be released on December 6th and can now be pre-ordered.

Since Camila Cabello, who grew up in Cuba up to the age of six, took part in the US version of the casting show „The X Factor“ at the age of 15, her career has known only one direction: Ever upward. But even during her time in the Fifth Harmony group, the highly talented singer, who is influenced by the US R’n’B as well as by the traditional singers of Cuba, did some solo work. And even her first singles proved that she made it into the charts on her own and knew how to formulate her very own version of modern pop and R’n’B.

With her debut album „Camila“ and the oversingle „Havana“, Camila Cabello was the first woman in the United States for 15 years to hit the number 1 on the Hot 100, Billboard 200 and Artist 100 charts in the same week in 2018. In the UK, she made her debut in second place and in several dozen countries between Germany, Australia, Italy and Sweden in the top 10.Camila was not only the # 1 artist at Spotify worldwide, but also nominated for numerous prizes, including three Grammy and two Latin Grammy Awards. „Havana“ became the most internationally streamed song by a female artist of all time in 2018. „Señorita“ with Shawn Mendes is currently leading the list of the most successful titles of the year on Spotify.

The success of the young exceptional talent is based on a modern pop sound, which above all wants to be independent and not primarily commercial. All of this should only be a prelude to a world career that has not existed for a long time. To be experienced live in May / June 2020 in Berlin, Cologne and Zurich.

Nothing is more constant than change and nothing is more relevant in this context if you look at Megaloh’s development in recent years. Flashback spring 2013: Megaloh released his first major album „Endlich Unendlich“ on the „Max Herre“ NESOLA label, which immediately conquered the top 10 German album charts. In 2016 the follow-up album „Regenmacher“, which celebrated the success of the first album with a Still overshadows top 2 placement and cementes Megaloh’s reputation as one of the best MCs in the country, he is the one everyone can agree on, revered by fans, respected by his peers, and in 2017 he finally gives up his camp job, internalized the fact that music will be his only career from now on. He separates from his longtime label and management companions. And he reinvents himself, signs a label contract with Universal and takes the first steps on his own two feet. This is what independence feels like, but also the burden of being responsible for every decision. His third major album will be released in April 2020.  An album full of quotes and contradictions. Right now, without denying the roots. One can be excited. But one thing is certain: Anyone who has seen the man live knows what force of nature he is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live. The new motto is zero. And he reinvents himself, signs a label contract with Universal and takes the first steps on his own two feet. This is what independence feels like, but also the burden of being responsible for every decision. His third major album will be released in April 2020.  An album full of quotes and contradictions. Right now, without denying the roots. One can be excited. But one thing is certain: Anyone who has seen the man live knows what force of nature he is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live. The new motto is zero. And he reinvents himself, signs a label contract with Universal and takes the first steps on his own two feet. This is what independence feels like, but also the burden of being responsible for every decision. His third major album will be released in April 2020. An album full of quotes and contradictions. Right now, without denying the roots. One can be excited. But one thing is certain: Anyone who has seen the man live knows what force of nature he is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live. This is what independence feels like, but also the burden of being responsible for every decision. His third major album will be released in April 2020.  An album full of quotes and contradictions. Right now, without denying the roots. One can be excited. But one thing is certain: Anyone who has seen the man live knows what force of nature he is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live. This is what independence feels like, but also the burden of being responsible for every decision. His third major album will be released in April 2020.  An album full of quotes and contradictions. Right now, without denying the roots. One can be excited. But one thing is certain: Anyone who has seen the man live knows what force of nature he is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live. what force of nature it is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live. what force of nature it is. For every campaign and beyond, he tirelessly uses every option to play live.

After the first shows for his debut tour in January 2020 were sold out after a short time, Noah Levi now comes on „Young and on a big tour“ in autumn 2020! Noah Levi takes a lot out of it. The freedom to do soul, indie, latin and rap under the „Urban Pop“ flag, for example, and to write his songs primarily for and about himself. Noah Levi has more experience than most of his age and his debut tape comes with a charming dose of cheek that you can’t buy. The fact that this tape is called „Jung & Naiv“ is both ironic and grounded. Noah is young and still a professional, who released his first single at 14 and now 250.  Has 000 followers on Instagram. His school days are characterized by difficulties concentrating until Noah discovers music to compensate for school stress. It quickly becomes clear that he has found far more than just a leisure activity – when he plays and sings he experiences for the first time the feeling of being really good at something. He starts making music on the street, but his experience and real feedback ultimately make him understand music as his profession. Today Noah is 18 years old and has released his „Jung & Naiv“ tape. Seven tracks that you want to hear again and again, because Noah Levi has delivered what he loves most: songs that can do more than you can hear at first glance. After support shows for Teesy and Namika, Noah Levi 2020 is finally starting as a headliner!

Vega! A name that lies like fog over the scene. From the Juice to Casper, honored as Newcomer of the Year, the Frankfurter has reached the top of the hip hop scene. Few musicians manage to sell out concerts 2 years after their debut album and bring the halls to boil over. Vega yes.

With his debut album „Lieber ich remain Broke“, including „Kool Savas“, the Frankfurt rapper was able to establish himself in the scene. With his second album „Vincent“, released on January 13, 2012, via his own label „Friends of Nobody“ in cooperation with „Wolfpack Entertainment“, Vega wants to make another huge leap on the career ladder and himself, like others, in his shade. „Vincent“ is an album that combines hope and chaos, a work that reports suffering but still encourages. A sound carrier whose one-hour musical enjoyment immediately shows that its two-year development phase was based on real life.

At a time when German rap is said to have lost the authenticity and honesty that once made it the most important pillar of the urban youth culture of this country, „Vincent“ is an album that builds on where the modern „street rappers“ have theirs Have lost traction. Vega is aggressively trying to reach the kids‘ hearts. It doesn’t seem embarrassing. Also not because the rapper’s eyes leave no doubt that this statement is not marketing or a lack of courage to take a harder line. Vega convinces with passion and honesty. Self-reflection is more important to him than bought guest parts, friendship is more important than short-term business moves, loyalty is more important than money. A good album is more important than a place on the red carpet. The kids love him for it. Simply Vega!
