Info
On 9 June 2026 at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, Kaytranada brings his blend of house, hip‑hop and electronic R&B to the stage. Born in Port‑au‑Prince and raised in Montreal, Louis Kevin Celestin has, since the early 2010s, developed a distinct club language through mixtapes and remixes. His debut 99.9% (2016) emphasizes smooth grooves, funk and soul inflections and features from indie and rap; Bubba (2019) pushes the sound further toward vocal house and was honored at the Grammys in 2021. Meanwhile Kaytranada produces for other artists, forms the duo The Celestics with his brother Lou Phelps, multiplies collaborations — for example with Aminé on KAYTRAMINÉ (2023) — and with Timeless (2024) cements his place between club culture, Afro‑Caribbean heritage and contemporary hip‑hop aesthetics.
Also on the bill is Uncle Waffles, a DJ and producer from Eswatini/South Africa, who since 2021 has become a defining voice in the amapiano scene. Her sound relies on slow grooves, distinctive basslines, repetitive percussion and melodic hooks, supported by a choreographed stage presence. The EPs Red Dragon (2022), Asylum and Solace (2023) sharpen her approach between dancefloor focus and melodic openness. From Johannesburg clubs to festivals in Europe and North America, including Coachella 2023, she expands the spectrum of amapiano both live and in the studio.
