It’s also the meeting point for people who have booked a seat in the accessibility zone for a paying concert.

TICKET OFFER

Our dedicated offer for people with disabilities now has its own page:

The Accessibility offer is reserved for people with a permanent disability. Temporary conditions, such as a broken leg, do not qualify for this offer.

In such cases, a standard ticket can be purchased through our official channels. Visitors are welcome to stop by the Accessibility Stand on the day of the event: if space is available, the team will do their best to accommodate. Please note that this cannot be guaranteed, and drop-ins are handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

New this year – Festival OFF

People with disabilities who wish to attend the free stages of the Festival and need support from a member of our trained team are welcome to contact us at accessibility@mjf.ch. We will do our best to organise the appropriate assistance based on individual needs.

EVENTS 2026

All events are free. Bookings are only possible for the Soirée Relax events.

LAVIVA PARTY – WEDNESDAY, 15 JULY, 2026

CHIRINGUITO – INCLUSIVE BAR

The Chiringuito returns this year in a new format – developed in collaboration with our new partner: the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation.

This bar is fully accessible for people with reduced mobility. To access it, there is a gently sloped ramp, easy for everyone. The tables are designed so wheelchair users can sit comfortably. Behind the counter, wheelchair users and other staff work together. This bar is a true place for exchange. You can discuss the wonderful experiences from the concerts. And also talk about equal opportunities and access for all.

More information about the partnership here.
