Lausanne, 26/09/2026
Lausanne, prepare for an unforgettable evening of music and elegance — on Saturday, 26 September 2026, the internationally acclaimed maestro André Rieu and his world-renowned Johann Strauss Orchestra will perform at the magnificent Vaudoise aréna for one of Switzerland’s most anticipated concerts of the year. As part of his 2026 European tour, Rieu returns to Switzerland with a spectacular production that combines timeless waltzes, romantic melodies and world-class orchestral performances in an atmosphere unlike any other.
Music lovers from across French-speaking Switzerland, as well as neighbouring France and Italy, are expected to travel to Lausanne for this special event. Together with his celebrated 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, talented soloists and guest performers, André Rieu will present an evening filled with beloved classical masterpieces, operatic highlights, cinematic favourites and the joyful Viennese waltzes that have become his signature. Every concert is carefully crafted to entertain, inspire and create unforgettable memories for audiences of every generation.
The concert takes place at Vaudoise aréna, a modern multi-purpose venue located in Prilly, just outside the centre of Lausanne. Opened in 2019, the arena has quickly become one of Switzerland’s premier entertainment venues, hosting international concerts, sporting events and major cultural productions. With a concert capacity of approximately 9,600 spectators, outstanding acoustics and excellent sightlines throughout the venue, Vaudoise aréna provides the perfect setting for André Rieu’s spectacular live performances.
Lausanne itself offers the perfect setting for a memorable concert weekend. Beautifully positioned on the shores of Lake Geneva, the city combines stunning lakeside scenery with rich history and a vibrant cultural atmosphere. Visitors can stroll through the picturesque old town, enjoy panoramic views across the Alps, visit the Olympic Museum or relax at one of the many waterfront cafés before heading to the evening performance. For many international visitors, an André Rieu concert becomes the highlight of a Swiss getaway.
Known worldwide as the “King of the Waltz,” André Rieu has spent decades introducing classical music to millions of people through performances that combine exceptional musicianship with warmth, humour and spectacular staging. His concerts regularly fill arenas across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, creating an atmosphere where audiences laugh, sing, applaud and celebrate together. Whether performing a Strauss masterpiece or a timeless love song, Rieu has a remarkable ability to create an emotional connection that makes every concert unique.
The 26 September performance in Lausanne follows Rieu’s concert in Zurich the previous evening, making Switzerland one of the highlights of his 2026 European tour. Fans travelling between both cities will have the rare opportunity to experience two spectacular concerts in consecutive nights, each offering its own unique atmosphere while showcasing the extraordinary talent of the Johann Strauss Orchestra.
