Eluveitie at Varsity Theater

Eluveitie is a Swiss folk metal band from Winterthur, Zürich, founded in 2002 by Chrigel Glanzmann. The project's first demo, Vên, was released in 2003. Vên was a studio project of Glanzmann's, but its success led to the recruitment of a full band, and the re-release of Vên as an EP in 2004. The band then released a full-length album, Spirit, in June 2006. In November 2007, Eluveitie was signed by Nuclear Blast. The group rose to fame following the release of their first major-label album, Slania, in February 2008. The album peaked at number 35 in the Swiss charts and number 72 in the German charts.

Nini Music is a folk-fusion artist from Taiwan. She found considerable fame live-streaming on Reddit covers of videogame, film, and rock music using Chinese traditional instruments such as the San Xian, Ruan, and Liuqin. She currently has one EP of original music, Rise Up, and is producing a second focusing on Chinese history and Daoism.

Illumishade is a Swiss heavy metal band. The band was founded in 2019 by Eluveitie band members Fabienne Erni and Jonas Wolf and makes cinematic and fantasy music, combined with rock and metal. The band is currently signed to Napalm Records. The name is a combination of the English words illumination and shade and refers to the contrast between light and darkness that emerges in the songs, as well as the contrast between quiet and heavy songs. History Illumishade was created because Erni had to put together a music concept and band to obtain her master's degree in September 2018. Afterwards, all band members decided to continue the band and record an album.
