Sunice Festival 2026: three days of techno on the shore of Lake Maggiore, in Ascona
Set on the Lido of Ascona, on the shore of Lake Maggiore in Switzerland, Sunice Festival closes the summer with a major open-air techno gathering. The summer edition runs from 17 to 19 September 2026 and is strictly 18+.
The line-up fields major names from the electronic scene: the razor-sharp techno of Amelie Lens and ARTBAT, alongside AVAION and rising talent such as Aaron Hibell.
The setting — a lakeside beach facing the mountains of Ticino — makes Sunice one of the most spectacular backdrops on the Swiss techno circuit. The festival also runs a winter edition in St. Moritz.
See you from 17 to 19 September 2026 in Ascona — info and tickets on the official site.
