8pm: I Skarbonari

On stage, I Skarbonari don’t just play—they pull everyone in from the very first notes. Formed in Neuchâtel in the early 2000s, the band embraces a truly multicultural identity, rooted in Italian, Swiss and Latin American influences.

That diversity is at the heart of their sound: tarantella collides with ska, sun-soaked rhythms blend with Italian melodies, creating a vibrant, generous mix that’s impossible not to dance to.

But what really stands out is their stage presence—a raw, infectious energy that transforms every performance into a shared moment. Whether performing in the street or on large stages in front of thousands, they maintain a simple, genuine connection with the audience, as if each song were a spontaneous celebration. With them, staying still isn’t really an option—hands start clapping, bodies start moving, smiles spread. A true burst of warmth and joy, perfectly in tune with the spirit of Absinthe en fête.
