SYNERGY 'AFTER PARADE' @ ALTE KASERNE, ZURICH (08.08.2026)

On Saturday 8 August 2026, the Alte Kaserne Zurich becomes the place to be for everyone who wants to carry the energy of the Street Parade into the early hours. For the ninth consecutive year, our After Parade Party is a fixture of the Street Parade weekend, with music that means something: trance in its purest form.

This year's lineup is the strongest we have ever brought to Alte Kaserne. Five internationally celebrated headliners alongside a carefully selected group of Swiss artists, from driving tech-trance to uplifting energy and deep progressive journeys.

🇬🇧 Daxson, known for the last three official Transmission anthems, made his Swiss debut with us in 2024 and returns for one of the biggest nights of the year.

🇳🇴 Ørjan Nilsen, with over 280 million streams and ranked 7th most-played artist in the entire history of A State Of Trance, plays Zurich for the very first time on 8 August.

🇩🇪 Cold Blue stands for depth and long-form storytelling, with conceptual albums such as Winter, Summer Chills and Mountain and his own label Cold Blue Records. His set at Alte Kaserne will be his first ever club show in Switzerland.

🇩🇪 Kyau & Albert, active since the early 1990s, have performed in over 80 countries and remixed Faithless, Dido and Armin van Buuren. One of the most enduring acts in electronic music.

🇮🇪 Ciaran McAuley returns, with a connection to SYNERGY that goes back ten years, and a resume that now includes Tomorrowland, Dreamstate and A State Of Trance.

Three Swiss artists complete the night:
🇨🇭 Madwave, a pillar of the Swiss trance scene and on every SYNERGY edition since our very first Street Parade participation in 2013. 🇨🇭🇨🇿 WeNyx, whose sound bridges techno and trance and who just made her debut as a producer with Follow Up on S2 Records. And 🇨🇭 Code Red from Bern, one of the most experienced names in the Swiss scene, with a selection and technique that still move any floor.

Nine hours of music, central location, laser show, outdoor chill-out area and fair ticket prices. Phase 1 tickets are still available. This event has sold out at every recent edition.
