Eileen Alister

On 7 March 2026 Eileen Alister will perform at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. The Swiss singer-songwriter from Zürich is building melodic pop in which voice and lyrics are the starting point. She first made a name for herself online with covers; later the focus shifted to original material and collaborations on tracks like “Voices” and “I Want…”, which placed her between contemporary pop and introspective songwriting. In 2024 “Lifetime Lover” marked a turning point: together with producer ZID she refined a direct, emotional signature, compact in production and open in tone.

After a European support tour in 2025 with Bea and Her Business — with stops in, among others, Manchester, Amsterdam and Germany — her first headline shows followed in Zürich and London. In Amsterdam she brings that trajectory to the stage with songs that originate close to the pen and which, live, centre on dynamics, melody and her voice. Material from this period, including “Lifetime Lover” and earlier collaborations, is complemented by new work that continues the same clear line.
