Bettina Schelker is a musician, songwriter, activist, poet, and former boxer with over 1,250 concerts worldwide. For more than 20 years, she has been releasing powerful songs about love, courage, and visibility on her label Foundagirl Records.

The explosive live shows of IKAN HYU have become an indispensable part of the European music landscape. The way they create the power of a “full band” as a duo is as unique as the sound that emerges: free, glitchy, beautiful, profound, and unpredictable. The two frontwomen each play up to three instruments simultaneously – Hannah handles acoustic and electronic drum elements, a Kaossilator, and a synth bass, while Anisa uses a drum pad and a custom-designed electric guitar/keyboard hybrid that allows her to play guitar and bass at the same time. Additionally, they both sing alternately or together. Complemented by DIY artworks, merchandise items, lighting elements, and stage outfits (created in collaboration with Anisa’s sister Irina), IKAN HYU create an entire universe.

When electro-pop artist Jasmin Albash, performing as a duo and together with her Sijada Session guests, multi-instrumentalist Cori Nora and New York singer Annie Goodchild, unfurls her musical carpet on the Barfi, it’s more than a musical event – it’s a statement for equality, diversity, and the power of music to effect societal change.

The Lausanne artist NNAVY has made a name for herself with her velvety voice and a mix of soul, R&B and jazz. Since her beginnings with cover versions on Instagram, she has evolved into a celebrated musician who has already performed at renowned festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and has supported artists like Lionel Richie and Arlo Parks.

Since her debut “Rules” (2020), rapper and singer svmthoX has been delivering her messages honestly, humorously, critically, and energetically in the music ether. With as much skill in rapping as velvet in her voice, the multilinguist impresses with her “(T)Rap Soul”, a careful mix of Missy Elliott, Ms. Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu, on increasingly larger stages.

On Saturday, Samora brings Caribbean energy to Barfüsserplatz in Basel for the Women’s Euro. With her mix of reggae, dancehall, and Afrobeat, and her great band, the award-winning singer celebrates female strength and diversity – a musical plea that is not only danceable but also conveys important messages about equality and empowerment.

We’ll get you ready for swimming in the Rhine! We have a stand at the ‘Beach’ Museum Tinguely entrance and will be happy to provide information about Basel’s favourite summer activity.

The grand final of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 takes place at St. Jakob-Park in Basel.

The final of the Women’s Euro 2025 is eagerly anticipated, and whichever team wins, women’s football has taken Basel by storm and created a big family. The celebration after the final match should be for everyone, and what better way for people of all ages to celebrate together than with the timeless golden 70s disco classics? When the 15-member Basel all-star band Disco Experience plays songs like ‘So Excited’, ‘We Are Family’, or ‘Oh What a Night’, a night of non-stop dancing is on the program.
