01 / THE BAND

Meet
BigBang.

Since the late 1980s, BigBang has played distinctive rock with New Wave influences, memorable melodies and a generous dose of humor. Formed in Winterthur, the band quickly made a name for itself with energetic live shows, witty lyrics and a stage presence all its own.

BigBang’s musical signature remains the same: honest rock, catchy songs and lyrics that look at life with wit and irony—sometimes biting, sometimes reflective, always authentic. The spirit that set the band apart from the start lives on.

After a long break, BigBang is active again. Alongside classics from its original repertoire, the band now plays new songs that carry its characteristic sound forward. Old and new tracks stand side by side, showing that good rock music is timeless.

Even back then, the press noted BigBang’s unusual blend of creativity, musicianship and humor. One concert review described the band as specialists in New Wave with plenty of humor, praising its inventive stage ideas and infectious live atmosphere.

Today, BigBang brings the same passion to the stage—more seasoned, musically evolved and full of joy in playing. See them live and you will feel it: these are musicians who live their songs and carry them into the future with fresh energy.
