ROCKEN IM RÖMERTHEATER

Das Römertheater Augusta Raurica ist die besterhaltene antike Freilichtbühne nördlich der Alpen und seit vielen Jahren Schauplatz von Z7-Konzerten. 2014 sorgte die Schweizer Pink-Floyd-Tribute-Band Crazy Diamond hier für eines der eindrücklichsten Konzerterlebnisse, gefolgt von Auftritten von Künstlern wie Tangerine Dream, Nena, Mike & The Mechanics, Nick Mason oder Beth Hart. Wer im 1600 Plätze fassenden Halbrund ein Konzert erlebt hat, kennt die unvergleichliche Atmosphäre dieser historischen Umgebung. 2026 kehrt das Z7 zurück und präsentiert für „Augusta Raurica – Live in Concert“ Crazy Diamond, Apocalyptica und Eluveitie als hochkarätige Headliner.

APOCALYPTICA – PLAYS METALLICA LIVE

Vor 30 Jahren tauchte eine völlig unbekannte Band aus Finnland in der Musikszene auf, die sowohl Klassik-, wie auch Metal-Fans aufhorchen liess. Mit dem Album „Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos“ liessen klassisch ausgebildete Musiker aus dem hohen Norden auf der Bühne die Sau raus. Headbangen und gleichzeitig Cello-Spielen, das hatte die Musikwelt noch nicht gesehen. Das Konzept wurde fortwährend ausgeweitet. So standen bei Konzerten bald drei Celli und ein Schlagzeug auf der Bühne. Mit Gastsängerinnen und –sängern wurden weitere Bands gecovert und schliesslich auch eigene Songs komponiert. Im Jahr 2024 fand man jedoch wieder zur alten Liebe zurück und schob das Album „Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol 2“ nach. Das Werk setzt die Reise fort, die 1996 begann, als Cellisten der weltberühmten Sibelius-Akademie in Helsinki ihre symphonische Hommage an die Metal-Titanen Metallica schufen. Auf dem zehnten Apocalyptica-Album gibt es mehrere Überraschungen. Wie zum Beispiel die atemberaubende Neuinterpretation eines der grössten musikalischen Metallica-Momente, den Song „One" vom Meilenstein „And Justice For All". Ausserden sind auf dem neuen Apocalyptica-Album auch James Hetfield und Rob Trujillo zu hören. Apocalyptica haben sich mit diesem Release einmal mehr selber übertroffen. Auf der aktuellen Tour spielt die Band zur Freude der Fans denn auch ausschliesslich Metallica-Songs. Die entfesselten Cello-Metaller mit einem Best-of-Metallica-Set – das verspricht eine wilde Sommernacht in Augusta Raurica.

Einlass: 18:00 Uhr ROCKING AT THE ROMAN THEATER

The Roman Theater Augusta Raurica is the best-preserved ancient open-air stage north of the Alps and has been the venue for Z7 concerts for many years. In 2014, the Swiss Pink Floyd tribute band Crazy Diamond provided one of the most impressive concert experiences here, followed by performances from artists such as Tangerine Dream, Nena, Mike & The Mechanics, Nick Mason, and Beth Hart. Anyone who has experienced a concert in the semicircle with 1,600 seats knows the incomparable atmosphere of this historical setting. In 2026, Z7 returns and presents for “Augusta Raurica – Live in Concert” Crazy Diamond, Apocalyptica, and Eluveitie as high-profile headliners.

APOCALYPTICA – PLAYS METALLICA LIVE

Thirty years ago, a completely unknown band from Finland emerged in the music scene, catching the attention of both classical and metal fans. With the album “Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos,” classically trained musicians from the far North let loose on stage. Headbanging while playing the cello was something the music world had never seen before. The concept was continuously expanded. Soon, three cellos and a drum set appeared on stage at concerts. With guest singers, more bands were covered, and eventually, original songs were composed. In 2024, however, they returned to their old love and released the album “Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol 2.” This work continues the journey that began in 1996 when cellists from the world-famous Sibelius Academy in Helsinki created their symphonic tribute to the metal titans Metallica. The tenth Apocalyptica album features several surprises. For example, the stunning reinterpretation of one of the greatest musical Metallica moments, the song “One” from the milestone album “And Justice For All.” Additionally, James Hetfield and Rob Trujillo can also be heard on the new Apocalyptica album. With this release, Apocalyptica has once again outdone themselves. On the current tour, the band exclusively plays Metallica songs to the delight of fans. The unleashed cello metallers with a best-of-Metallica set promise a wild summer night in Augusta Raurica.

Doors open: 6:00 PM

Crazy Diamond - The Pink Floyd Tribute - Augusta Raurica - Live in Concert

ROCKING IN THE ROMAN THEATER

The Roman Theater Augusta Raurica is the best-preserved ancient open-air stage north of the Alps and has been the venue for Z7 concerts for many years. In 2014, the Swiss Pink Floyd tribute band Crazy Diamond provided one of the most impressive concert experiences here, followed by performances from artists such as Tangerine Dream, Nena, Mike & The Mechanics, Nick Mason, and Beth Hart. Anyone who has experienced a concert in the 1600-seat semi-circular arena knows the incomparable atmosphere of this historical setting. In 2026, Z7 returns and presents for “Augusta Raurica – Live in Concert” Crazy Diamond, Apocalyptica, and Eluveitie as high-profile headliners.

CRAZY DIAMOND - THE PINK FLOYD TRIBUTE

We are celebrating 25 years of Crazy Diamond! “Run, run, run, run – you better run!” Since its founding in 2001, Crazy Diamond has rocked across Switzerland from corner to corner. “Year after year, running over the same old ground.” More than a hundred thousand fans have experienced this band live over the years. Presenting the unique music of Pink Floyd is one thing; adding that certain something to the sound is another. Apparently, the musicians repeatedly hit a nerve. Powerful, forceful, and mighty, the songs are served with a touch of uniqueness. These are the right ingredients to take the listener on a time travel journey that spans from the 60s to the 90s. Whether it’s the first single “Arnold Layne” or one of the last highlights, “High Hopes,” hits like “Another Brick In The Wall” and “The Great Gig In The Sky,” or gems like “Sheep” or “Careful With That Axe Eugene.” Crazy Diamond gives their all with every song to captivate the audience with an unforgettable show. The bombastic sound is further highlighted by fantastic visual effects. To get a sense of “one of the best Pink Floyd tributes,” as the band has been enthusiastically labeled, you must experience Crazy Diamond live. Preferably in the unique atmosphere of the theater in Augusta Raurica, where the band already delivered two magnificent shows in 2014, referencing Pink Floyd's “Live At Pompeii.”

Doors open: 18:00
