International References — Named Honestly
Gemini Music has no Basel reference of its own — we say that openly instead of suggesting events that never happened. What is on record is our international profile: The SWISS A350 launch in the hangar at Zurich Airport — as part of the overall production by Aroma Event Agency, adapted to an acoustic situation that is anything but easy for live sound. Three formats for FIFA in Zurich across several years — New Year's kickoffs in a hall, the summer party open air on the headquarters grounds, and a show at X-TRA Zurich. SAP Sapphire in Madrid — performing immediately after the CEO keynote. Plus performances in over 20 countries. That experience is what we bring to Basel — with the same standard for scheduling, technology and sound. Details on our Zurich page.
Coverage: Basel, the Region and the Three-Country Corner
From Kirchzarten, Basel is reachable in around one hour. We are available in Basel itself and the surrounding area — including Liestal, Rheinfelden, Lörrach, Weil am Rhein and Freiburg. Because Basel sits near the border, we plan travel and setup with border crossing and equipment import built in from the start. Travel, technical setup and schedule are calculated bindingly in our proposal for every location.
For which rooms we are configured in Basel
Grand Hotel Ballroom
Ballrooms with noise limits and tight setup windows. We coordinate with the venue's technical staff in advance and play concert-standard backline, in-ear monitoring and with our own sound engineer.
Congress and Trade-Fair Space
Stage plan, cue list, existing direction. As at SAP Sapphire in Madrid, we slot into the schedule, timing and cues of a running production — without imposing our own.
Historic Palais in the Old Town
Narrow lanes, short access routes, little room for setup and power distribution. We plan both in detail before the team arrives — including alternative equipment routes.
Rhine Terrace and Open Air
Weather, power supply and noise levels toward the neighbourhood. We include backup plans and sound-protection measures transparently in our proposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a live band in Basel cost?
In Basel, a professional live band costs between approx. CHF 4'200 and 23'000 (around €4,500 to €25,000 net), depending on line-up and playing time. Entry level is a small line-up — for example two musicians or two singers with a DJ — from around CHF 4'200. Travel and accommodation are itemised transparently in our proposal. After a short briefing you receive a binding proposal within 24 hours — no hidden extras.
Is Gemini Music available in Basel?
Yes. From Kirchzarten, Basel is reachable in around one hour. We are available in Basel itself and the surrounding area — including Liestal, Rheinfelden, Lörrach, Weil am Rhein and Freiburg. Travel, technical setup and schedule are calculated bindingly in our proposal.
Do you also play corporate events and product launches?
Yes. Internationally we have played the SWISS A350 launch in the hangar at Zurich Airport, events for FIFA in Zurich, and SAP Sapphire in Madrid with a performance directly after the CEO keynote. In Basel itself we cannot yet name a reference of our own — what we bring is experience from over 20 countries.
How large is the line-up?
The standard is a line-up of 7 to 10 musicians. For the apéro and dinner we offer an acoustic duo or trio; extendable with horns, and as band + DJ for long evenings.
Do you also play the apéro and dinner?
Yes. For the apéro and dinner phase we reduce the line-up to an acoustic duo or trio — subtle volume, without a full drum kit. Then the full line-up for the dance floor. The transitions are rehearsed, not improvised.
Do you bring sound and lighting?
We bring concert-standard backline, in-ear monitoring and our own FOH sound engineer. PA, room sound and lighting are provided by the organiser or venue — we coordinate with their technical staff. On request we bring the complete sound system; we calculate that transparently in our proposal.
Do you also work with event agencies?
Yes. We played the SWISS A350 launch in the hangar at Zurich Airport as part of the overall production by Aroma Event Agency — coordinated with their schedule and cues. That format applies to Basel too: the overall production sits with the agency or client, we deliver the live act that slots into the direction, timing and cues.
