Basel Beats: Culture, Classics & New Sounds

Summer is winding down, even though it seems like just last week we were swimming in the Rhine and spending long nights by the grill. This week on the show, we played new songs from the season that we didn’t get to in past weeks. You’ll hear fresh tracks from Kylie Minogue, Snow Patrol, and Post Malone with Dolly Parton. We also go back in time with artists like Prince and Fleetwood Mac.

In our culture calendar, we covered a range of events that could appeal to newcomers and long-time residents alike. For newcomers, there’s an Integration Talk coming up at Bibliothek St. Johann. For long-time residents looking for a way to fill the long nights of fall and winter, there’s BasGame, where you can pick up a new board game and chat with fellow players. And whether you’ve been in town a week or fifty years, there’s always something to admire about Basel’s built environment, which Architecture Week will cover.

Get your tickets now for the Baloise Session concerts in October and November, featuring musicians such as Take That, Seal, St. Vincent, Gary Clark Jr., Robert Plant, Mika, Nemo and many more. And for the whole family, why not join the bouncy-castle fun at Bounce Circus Basel from September 13-15?
