Swiss Promoter AllBlues Konzert AG and Kultur & Gastro Holding AG have announced that the concert promoter AllBlues, established in 1994, will join the "Bierhübeli family" in Bern starting July 1, 2025.
For over 30 years, AllBlues Konzert AG has been a significant presence in the Swiss music scene, organizing around 100 concerts annually with renowned artists in jazz, world, funk & soul, blues, and singer-songwriter genres.
Notable events include the "Jazz Classics" series in Zurich, the KKL Lucerne, and the Victoria Hall in Geneva, as well as the internationally recognized ZURICH JAZZNOJAZZ FESTIVAL, launched in 1998.
"I am delighted to have found a successor who offers our team a promising future and who will continue our work and live our passion for concerts. During our discussions, it quickly became clear that we share the same values and pursue the same goal: to be successful with top-class concerts,” explains Johannes Vogel, founder and managing director of AllBlues Konzert AG. “I will continue to support the company to ensure a smooth transition.”
The integration strengthens the "Bierhübeli family" as an independent event organizer while expanding its footprint in the Swiss music market and Bern`s cultural landscape.
Bierhübeli GmbH, a concert and cultural venue in Bern, hosts around 400 events annually, including concerts, comedy shows, parties, and corporate events. It employs 25 permanent staff, 120 part-time employees, and welcomes approximately 120,000 visitors each year.
Dave Naef, Managing Director and Programme Manager of Bierhübeli, sees great potential in the takeover:
“This collaboration offers us the opportunity to expand our musical offerings and strengthen our relationships with international artists. We aim to deepen existing partnerships and pursue new, exciting projects simultaneously.”
Nando Hepp, Managing Director and CFO of Bierhübeli, adds:
“Following our partnership with Kursaal Bern, the acquisition of AllBlues Konzert AG is another milestone. With a strong team of 130 employees and approximately 300 concerts a year, we are well-positioned to thrive as independent concert organizers in Bern and throughout Switzerland. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
