Label Suisse: diversity as identity
From Appenzell to Geneva, from Ländler to electro, from yodelling to trap, Label Suisse does not seek to define what Swiss music is. Instead, it prefers to let it express itself in all its diversity. From 18 to 20 September 2026, Lausanne will become, for three days, the capital of a Swiss music scene that is as rich as it is unpredictable.
Over the years, Label Suisse has become much more than just a festival: it is a biennial event where the Swiss music scene takes stock of who it is, what it produces, and what it can still invent.
Admission is free to all concerts.

Oriane didn’t wait for someone to come and discover her. Having made her breakthrough on The Voice 2026 with a cover of a Lana Del Rey song that blew the coaches away, Lady O – a Lausanne-based artist who has only just come of age and is entirely self-taught – is simultaneously crafting an Afro-pop sound that blends jazz, R&B and hip-hop. With a powerful and poignant voice, and unfiltered lyrics that speak of everyday life going off the rails, she’s an artist to watch very closely.
Lausanne, a bedroom studio, a complete self-taught artist and now fame: Jordan Mfumu-Kanda Dhi – Arma Jackson – has built his own world single-handedly, track by track. Rap, neo-soul, tangy pop or house music: it all blends seamlessly in the work of this prodigy, winner of the 2021 Swiss Music Award. Since then: endorsed by Youssoupha, the artist behind the hit Cash has released No Man’s Land (2026), his third triumphant album.
Cyrielle Formaz likes to take her time. Ten years after launching her Meimuna project, the Valais-born artist finally released her debut album – C’est demain que je meurs (2024): a gem that blends Anglo-Saxon folk, ethereal pop and French-language poetry. With a pure voice and melodies that stay with you for a long time, the artist moves listeners with her deeply personal lyrics that celebrate intimacy and human emotions.
