Once again, we’ll be awarding the most successful Swiss artists at Hallenstadion. At the SMAs, short for Swiss Music Awards, we won’t only be seeing Swiss musician. There will also be international celebrities that will rock the stage.
You might remember us being at the SMAs last year; we were able to check out the red carpet and follow the awards show live. You can find our review about last year’s show here: Swiss Music Awards 2017. There were lucky enough to spot the following international artists: James Blunt, Alvaro Soler and Mark Forster.

A new side-event has been announced at today’s press conference. The Event “SMA presents” will be held at the Kosmos in Zurich on Feb. 7th, so 2 days prior to the SMAs. Swiss female musicians are clearly underrepresented on all public stages, the SMAs are no exception. But why? And what can we do to change that – this will be the topic discussed at this years “SMA presents”. Entry is free!
