📋About

Old But Gold Ü30 Hip Hop Festival 2026 in Switzerland

The Old But Gold Ü30 Hip Hop Festival celebrates hip-hop's golden age with a lineup exclusively dedicated to the legends who shaped 90s and 2000s rap culture. This 2026 edition brings together pillars of boom bap, conscious hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, and abstract hip-hop for a nostalgic and authentic evening reserved for those over 30.

The main stage will welcome absolute icons like Busta Rhymes, virtuoso of energetic flow, DE LA SOUL, pioneers of conscious and poetic rap, and KRS-One, professor emeritus of old school hip-hop. The festival will also unite Onyx, legends of New York hardcore rap, alongside Jeru the Damaja, DJ Premier disciple and pure boom bap master.

Contemporary R&B lovers will rediscover 112, iconic 90s vocal group, while Queen Omega brings her reggae-conscious touch. The evening will be punctuated by sets from DJ Viper, along with performances by Ray and Rayd, representatives of the new school respectful of the codes.

With its unique concept and legendary lineup, Old But Gold Ü30 Hip Hop Festival establishes itself as the essential gathering to relive hip-hop's authentic essence in a mature and festive atmosphere. A celebration of hip-hop's roots and culture in all its splendor.
