The story

m4music Festival Zurich in Zurich

m4music is a March showcase festival in central Zurich pairing evening club concerts with an industry program of panels and networking for the Swiss music business. Run since 2004 by Migros-Kulturprozent, it centers on new and emerging Swiss talent, highlighted by the Demotape Clinic competition for unsigned acts. Expect club-sized venues like Kaufleuten, genre-mixed lineups from indie to electronic, and a program built for discovery rather than marquee headliners.

m4music brings a few dozen Swiss and international pop, rock and electronic acts to a handful of Zurich club venues each March, built around discovering new talent rather than showcasing established headliners.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

m4music's defining feature is the Demotape Clinic, a competition for unsigned Swiss musicians that puts newcomers on the same stages as touring acts and gives them direct feedback from an industry jury

02

The mystery stays covered

Run by Migros-Kulturprozent since 2004, the festival treats its daytime conference program, panels, workshops and networking, as seriously as its evening concerts, making it as much a working event for the Swiss music industry as a fan festival

03

The city starts moving

Concentrated in a handful of central Zurich clubs rather than spread across the city, it lets visitors bounce between two or three shows in one night, and its March timing places it well outside Switzerland's crowded summer festival calendar
