Kulturfestival St.Gallen

From 30 June to 18 July, world stars and new discoveries, regional heroes and culinary delights can once again be experienced in the most beautiful courtyard in the city of St.Gallen.

The St.Gallen Culture Festival brings together culture lovers and music lovers from Eastern Switzerland. This year, concerts of various styles such as soul, jazz, folk, electro and world music are on the program. Experience unforgettable evenings full of musical diversity and rousing sounds from all over the world.

Afro soul from Mali, hip-hop from Germany, roots reggae from the Ivory Coast or psychedelic funk from Bogota – every evening a new sound can be heard.

The program is as diverse as the music itself. International acts such as Afrob and Ferris MC, Fatoumata Diawara, Calle Mambo or Say She She meet Swiss artists such as To Athena or Lunik.

On the weekend of 11 and 12 July 2026, the cultural festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary. This weekend, the stage belongs to the St.Gallen acts. For this anniversary, what has shaped this festival from St.Gallen's point of view comes together: Dachs, Ikan Hyu, Stahlberger, Riana, Owen Kane, Tüchel, Yes I'm Very Tired Now, Page and the Biergrüppli DJ Set – acts that have played here, left their mark and helped write the sound of St.Gallen.

The inner courtyard of the cultural museum will once again become the stage for unforgettable summer nights.
