«Let Life Flow» et abandonnez-vous à la musique! Le musicien de blues suisse Philipp Fankhauser vous emmènera dans un autre monde avec sa Baloise Session @home.

There are songs that have made Swiss rock history. “I schänke Dir mis Härz” by Kuno Lauener is one of them. Or “Scharlachrot” by Büne Huber. The Swiss Jazz Orchestra has delivered the freshest and jazziest versions of some of the most memorable Swiss evergreens. For this project, these experienced jazz artists were united with Swiss rock performers: Büne, Sina, Philipp Fankhauser, Kuno, Freda A. Goodlett and others made the trip to Basel for this joint concert. Another top act of the evening was Florian Ast. Almost the entire Swiss music scene appeared in this one-of-a-kind project: Hopp Schwiiz.

Sir Elton John's appearance marked the first time that the festival has been honoured by a titled performer. Knighted by the Queen in 1998, this veteran star aired doubtless many of his greatest hits during his two performances: songs everyone knows, such as «Crocodile Rock», «Sacrifice», «Sad Songs» and «Rocket Man».

With his dynamic piano playing, energetic live shows, outsize glasses and flamboyant stage costumes, Elton John has not only conquered the world, but broken all records for recording artists. He has sold over 250 million albums and had 50 Top Forty hits. These achievements ensured Elton John a place on rock music's Mount Olympus many years ago.

The support acts was blues singer Philipp Fankhauser.
