In the last months, the world has seen developments that seemed unthinkable just two or three years ago. War in Europe due to a senseless breach of humanity and international law. Societal and political developments aimed at the already discriminated against and most marginalized parts of our communities. Blatant attacks on basic human and medical aspects, such as reproductive rights, sexual orientations, choices of personal liberty. Fights we had already won, that now have to be fought again, all the while things like access to guns, etc. are on the uptick. Actual attacks on kids, LGBTQ+ communities happening… Oh, did I mention the climate crisis? The list goes on.

In lights of such events, it is very easy to give in to the heaviest of emotions, losing hope and giving in to despair. But I am no longer willing to do that. One thing has once again become very clear to me: If those in charge of the bigger decisions keep on failing us as humans, then it is time that we step in, and do our part. And talk about it.

2) We were able to hire two incredibly skilled and talented new staff from Ukraine, namely Daria Redko and Veronika Zhalnina. In a normal world, they would be active locally in their event production scope in Kyiv and West Ukraine, having worked for local festivals, promoters, and music managements. Due to the senseless aggression brought onto their country by a terror regime, none of that is possible of course. At the same time, us in Switzerland and central Europe are struggling massively for staff in the event industry. As such, we’ve had the pleasure to offer full time positions to Daria and Veronika since April, and it has been a win-win from the first minute on. My deepest amounts of respect, gratitude and love go to these two newest members of our staff, who are still in Ukraine, and have made our company simply a better place. The amount of resilience and passion they have brought to us as a company, and us as humans, is astounding. Thank you - and Слава Україні! 

I encourage everyone to do the same: Make your moves, talk about it, show that there is enough will around to actually make this world a better place. We desperately need it.

We are happy to announce that we joined Switzerland Tourism's initiative and meet the criteria to be accepted to the programme's level 1 tier.

If the last year has proven anything, then that's the fact that the way we use the ressources of this planet has to change, and it needs us all to do it. With Solver Productions, we produce tours and shows, which are really extremely ressource-intensive in nautre. But we can do better and get better, and we as a company are fully commited to be a part of this.

Sustainability, together with inclusion, is one of our core values, and we are happy to have found a great partner in Switzerland Tourism to bring this topic to the top of our priorities - one that is local, speaks our literal language, and will accompany us on this journey.

Next Generation 2021 - www.nextgeneration2021.ch

Seit ca letzten März gibt es für Lernende Veranstaltungstechnik in der Schweiz quasi keine Möglichkeiten, Praxiserfahrung zu sammeln. Die von der Pandemie hart getroffene Eventbranche geht mit virtuellen Showcases im Februar und März in die Bildungsoffensive – und der Branchennachwuchs zeigt gemeinsam mit den Lehrbetrieben sein Können!

Wir freuen uns sehr, mit als Produktionspartner von drei der Showcases mitwirken zu können.

PREORDER
In anticipation of things to come, we have launched a new merch range, ready to preorder now. We have also dug up some old tour stock, and with it a box of the long sold-out "Thousands of Evils" vinyls. They are available in our EU merch store in a shirt bundle and will never ever be sold again.

Good times ahead!

Today, we are happy to announce that we are teaming up with Angela Gossow's Kult Management. 🤘

Chrigel Glanzmann comments, “Times are weird and the metal scene has been unusually quiet the last few months. Have we been brought to our knees though? Hell no, nothing could be further from reality! While we were forced to pause our live activity we've gathered momentum all the more. Strengthened, energized and creatively inspired we're currently working on new music for you! And above that we have regrouped and are eager to attack! We're absolutely stoked to inform you that we've joined forces with Angela Gossow's renowned Kult Management. And together with them and our long-year partners Nuclear Blast Records and Believe Digital plus Cobra Agency and Solver Productions we feel we're one hell of a troop! You better watch out!”

Angela Gossow further adds, “We are thrilled to be representing ELUVEITIE moving forward! One of Switzerland's finest metal exports who are hungry to step it up! We are going to dominate the future - ELUVEITIE’s time has come!"

Die wunderbarste Venue der Schweiz sucht eine/n neue/n Programmleiter/in ab August. Das KIFF ist auch die Heimat von Solver Productions und deswegen kriegt man auch uns öfter zu Gesicht - das steht leider nicht im Inserat, ist aber schon auch ein mitentscheidendes Extra-Perk, finden wir.

Wir suchen auf Mitte August oder nach Vereinbarung eine neue Programmleitung 60-70% im KIFF:

We are continuing to see a dramatic reduction of flight service from all airlines globally. The time to come or go home is definitely now, a lot of airlines will be completely stopping operations in a couple days. All our band clients that were still on tour were safely brought home by now - but in case you are still stuck somewhere and you require assistance in repatriation, please feel free to get in touch to see if we can help.

We are facing some of the scariest times ahead that our line of business, or even better said the world as a whole, has known. A pandemic sweeps the globe as we speak, and everyone is going to be affected in some way, in the best case only economical, in the worst case in health. As pretty much everyone in our business we are also left with no other choice but to postpone or even cancel events, tours and concerts, you can trust that we are working hard behind the scenes to make sure this is done as thorough as we can given the circumstances, so that once we've flattened the curve and and can start thinking about resuming daily life, you will have an artist, venue, festival and countless others who rely on income from live music to support and enjoy the art it represents. We want to wish the best to all our colleagues in our dark times, remember that we all unify through the power of music and let's make sure we all feel like we can count on each other, our resilience will prevail. We are here if you need to talk. For now we can only ask everyone to stream or buy music to at least generate something for all the affected artists, or consider not asking a refund for the tickets you've already bought if you are able to do so. Stay healthy, stay safe, help each other where possible. Hope for better times soon.

So this situation sucks and our whole industry is on pause for the foreseeable future. But rather than burying our heads in the sand, we would like to make the most out of this situation.

We are considering using our (and potentially your) downtime for some learning and self-improvement by offering online workshops.

As touring and production industry professionals, we often get approached for questions and interest a lot of people have in our world and our lives.

We are, at this stage, collecting information about what topics might be of interest the most. We will then start looking around for partners and special guests where we think it would be great to hold the workshops with and would keep you posted on topics, guests, schedule, format, platform etc of the online workshops

We're also open to accept ideas if you would like to HOLD a workshop if you're an industry professional, in this case just get in touch ([email protected])

Let's get as many positive impacts as possible out of this dire situation :)

Nightliner Bus x Airplane = Skynest? Great concept by our favorite airline Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand has filed patent and trademark applications for the "Economy Skynest" -- the result of three years of research, development and testing. Here's a first look at what passengers can expect.

With our first tour of 2020 already done and with the festival season still a liiiittle ways out, we would like to use this breather to say hello and thank everybody for 2019. So: Hello, and thank you for 2019.

We ran some numbers and are delighted to present you these key figures of 2019.

So here's to 2020! We will once again be touring the world with ELUVEITIE and HEILUNG (and a couple others), as well as producing a couple more great shows in Switzerland. And hopefully booking a lot of flights, hotels, visas etc. etc. along the way.

Much love from camp Solver, and our belated best wishes for your personal and professional 2020,
