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.
Formed in Belfast, Kneecap — Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí — wield Irish Gaelic as a fiercely political instrument. Mixing Irish‑language rap, heavy bass, hip‑hop and rave energy, their FENIAN Tour channels songs from Fine Art and the film inspired by their story. The trio confronts identity, youth alienation and resistance with raw lyricism and pounding rhythms, producing a confrontational, euphoric live experience where urgency and communal release collide.
Jolagreen23 unveils a 23-track album, 23 Jours Plus Tard, structured in two movements: a melancholic opening that traces an intimate ascent, then a more assertive, conquering second half. Built with an XXL cast of composers, the project features collaborations with Tiakola, La Mano 1.9 and La Fève. Its visual rollout — from Avatar-inspired logbook videos to immersive bunker teasers — frames an artist who chooses to show more while keeping an aura of mystery. Introduced by the clip « Métal », the work oscillates between introspection and momentum.

Supported by the Consulate General of Brazil and the Guimarães Rosa Institute, the concert privileges nuance, tenderness and a powerful sense of cultural dialogue.
Fronted by Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg, First Aid Kit offers intimate, harmony-rich folk steeped in melancholic pop and refined songwriting. Across a stripped-down programme for the Visions of the Past tour, the duo revisits songs from their early Drunken Trees era to the luminous maturity of Palomino, weaving iconic originals and beloved covers. Their delicate vocal interplay, spare arrangements and wistful melodies create an immersive, tender atmosphere that balances nostalgia and emotional clarity.
Julien Lieb performs songs from his debut album Naufragé, offering an intimate, vocal-led recital that traces resilience and longing. After reaching the Star Academy final and earning the NRJ Music Awards Revelation (2025), he shapes a sensitive, refined universe where every lyric feels personal. His voice conveys an inward journey, alternating tender confession and luminous phrasing, supported by subtle arrangements that foreground emotion and storytelling.

Cocoon, led by Mark Daumail, marks twenty years with an intimate acoustic programme that revisits its most emblematic songs from the double album Bones for the Dogs.

Opening act The Woohoo — Valérie Martinez and Zep — brings complementary, tender harmonies born from their collaboration with Cocoon. The evening promises a hushed, emotive soundworld focused on nuance and lyricism.
