Geneva organizes first Locazik Festival
For ten years, the City of Geneva's Youth Welfare Office has been providing young people with band rehearsal rooms. On March 6 and 7, the city will be presenting what is created there for the first time in the form of a festival.
Up-and-coming bands can use the city's rehearsal rooms free of charge for two years at a time. It is possible to extend the period of use. A good dozen bands with a total of around one hundred members have benefited from the offer so far. Where possible, they are given space in their home district of the city.
Now the city's youth welfare office is enabling them to present themselves to the public as part of a festival called Locazik, which is organized by the young people themselves.
On March 6 and 7, seven groups will present themselves on the Traverse stage in the Pâquis district center. The stylistic spectrum ranges from rock, ska and punk to blues and métal, hip-hop and chanson.
