1 - 4 April 2010

In a few years, the Electron Festival has become a major musical event on the Swiss calendar. What’s more, it is now seen as a reference on the European electronic music landscape. Proof of this came with the incredible success of the sixth edition, in April 2009.

Converging point between electronic music and arts, Electron’s initial ambition was to create a Geneva-based artistic platform for showcasing electronic music projects from different Swiss and international artists. Now scheduled on a fixed date, it takes place during Easter Vacation in eight specific sites within the heart of the city of Geneva.

Since 2007, Electron has become one of the major festivals in Switzerland of this kind. Each year it welcomes more than one hundred artists and 12 000 people, coming from Switzerland and abroad.

The organisers have always wished to propose a wide panorama of the current electronic scene, with live performances, DJ sets, theme nights, experimentations with sound and electro-acoustic stages. In 2008 they decided to break out into other disciplines, introducing contemporary dance performances, cinema, conferences and artistic installations to the already diverse program.
