Located on the edge of Geneva’s old town, the Alhambra has been part of the city’s cultural landscape since its establishment in 1920. It primarily serves as a venue for contemporary music events, organized by private entities and non-profit associations. The venue also hosts concerts and events during Geneva’s many festivals, offering a diverse range of musical performances.
Aterciopelados, led by Andrea Echeverri and Héctor Buitrago, bring three decades of socially conscious rock fused with Latin rhythms. On this tour they celebrate La Pipa de la Paz — 30 Years with a set that balances electric immediacy and poetic lyricism. Support act Palenque La Papayera offers exuberant banda rooted in Caribbean mestizaje, communal dance and brass-driven textures. Together they create a festive, visceral dialogue where political urgency meets collective joy and movement.
Created and performed by DeLaurentis, Pionnières! rewrites the history of electronic music through the voices of women who shaped it. Drawing on influences from Éliane Radigue to Suzanne Ciani, Delia Derbyshire and Björk, the solo performer blends live machines — notably a rare ARP 2500 — with archival material and striking visuals developed with Sony CSL. Originally created for the 50th anniversary of Printemps de Bourges and presented in collaboration with Electron Festival × Les Créatives, the work offers an immersive, reflective exploration of memory and legacy.
Modeselektor — Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary — revisit their canon in Classics Live, a live reworking of their most iconic tracks. Across a sonic spectrum from techno and bass to mutant hip‑hop and adventurous IDM, the duo blends machines, improvisation and sustained tension, transforming familiar motifs into unpredictable experiments. Celebrating twenty‑five years of restless creativity, the performance unfolds as a visceral soundworld where texture, rhythm and bright electronic energy collide and evolve.
Fredz is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose singular voice blends rap, pop and chanson.

Independent and owner of his project, Fredz favours durable songs over trends, shaping performances of deep warmth and quiet intensity.

Presented by Electron Festival, Detroit Legends gathers pioneers Cybotron and Dopplereffekt for a dialogue between two foundational visions of techno. Their early experiments fused futurism, electronic machinery and African-American musical culture, shaping a sound that still echoes across generations. The evening opens with Geneva’s Orphia, whose analog textures, metronomic rhythms and luminous atmospheres form a bridge between origins and contemporary electronic practice. Three live sets, multiple generations, a concentrated portrait of the lineage and emotional force of Detroit electronic music.
Meryl has emerged as a defining voice of her generation, revealed by the 2019 single Béni and followed by the EP Ozoror (2023) and her debut album Caviar I (2024). Nominated at the Victoires de la Musique and Les Flammes in 2024, her songs blend intimate lyricism with bold melodic textures. Presented by Voix de Fête and Inouïe, this concert foregrounds the voice, moving between hushed confession and soaring chorus, with close musical interplay.
