RECAP | SP Sessions: Zurich | March 30, 2024
Here’s a little recap from the first SP Sessions that recently happened in Zurich led by our very own 59 Perlen. After the test balloon event at the beginning of January 2024, the first edition of the 'SP Sessions Zurich' took place as the 'Spring' Edition. Guests enjoyed an exuberant live act event with finest electronic music and a relaxed atmosphere in Zurich's vibrant Glattpark neighbourhood.
The story behind the Live Act Event
"The unique standout feature of the 'SP Sessions' event series is clearly the artist line-up. Here the focus is set on Live acts, each playing for around 45 minutes. I want to offer unknown artists a platform to perform their music live and network with other musicians. The event is ment to be the little local brother of 'Sonic Playground', a yearly artist showcase event hosted by Petite Victory Collective, the label that also presents 'SP Sessions Zurich'." - 59 Perlen
The event takes place every 3 months and in each edition 59 Perlen presents a new lineup with international and local newcomer artists.
