Elijah Salomon - Essenz Tour

On 4 December 2026, Elijah Salomon and his band will bring the Grabenhalle to life. The Zurich musician has been one of the defining voices of the Swiss reggae scene for almost 20 years, blending Swiss German dialect reggae and dancehall with influences from dub, Afrobeats, hip hop and soul. His music stands for openness, cultural diversity and the unifying power of music, regardless of language or background. Through collaborations with artists from Jamaica and West Africa, as well as international tours, Elijah Salomon has created a distinctive sound that brings people together and makes different cultures heard. On his latest album Essenz, he presents songs in Swiss German, English and Mandinka.
