Electron Festival (Geneva, Switzerland) 2026

Electron Festival is a festival of electronic cultures in Geneva, Switzerland, whose 2026 edition runs from Friday, October 2 to Saturday, October 24, with an exhibition continuing until October 25. Rather than one site, it spreads over the city: concert halls, clubs, bars, open air spaces and an exhibition in the former Gare des Eaux-Vives station.

The programme opens on October 2 with Electron Bar to Bar, a free night across 16 partner bars, followed by an open air event on Rue Lina-Stern on October 3. The main concert and club dates include Modeselektor Classics Live with Noria Lilt at Alhambra on October 6, the Detroit Legends evening with Cybotron, Dopplereffekt and Orphia at Alhambra on October 8, two nights at Palladium on October 9 and 10 with 2manydjs, Optimo (Espacio), HAAi, Anetha and Penelope, and Autechre at PTR L’Usine on October 12.

The second half brings the Electron Club Tour on October 16 at Le Zoo, Motel Campo and La Gravière, a night of art and music at La Comédie de Genève on October 17 with Chlär presenting Kernel, Marta and Dasha Rush, and the exhibition Machines sensibles from October 17 to 25. Free performances, quarter events and an after party follow until October 24.

Tickets are sold through the festival’s ticket page. Advance prices range from 29 Swiss francs for Pionnieres on October 4 to 45 francs for Modeselektor, with discounted tarifs for people aged 20 and for young visitors, and prices are higher at the door. Age limits vary by night, from 16 and over for the concerts at Alhambra and PTR to 18 and over for most club nights.
