NON Open-Air Music Festival
NON Music and Wine Festival at the Sitenrain organic winery in Meggen The NON Music Festival invites you to celebrate the end of summer at the Sitenrain organic winery in Meggen on 19 and 20 September 2025. With a diverse range of music, good wine and a lovingly designed venue, the festival is an insider tip for music and wine lovers and families. Since 2011, the cultural association ‘NON’ has been organising the two-day non-profit festival at the Sitenrain organic winery. The festival takes place at the end of September – in the middle of the grape harvest and surrounded by autumnal golden vines. With its family atmosphere and unique setting, the open-air festival has secured a firm place in Lucerne's cultural landscape. Clear the stage for Swiss acts The NON Festival sees itself as a stage for Swiss music. A hand-picked line-up has been put together for the small stage – artists who thrill audiences with minimal equipment. The big stage will feature performances by Zurich rapper BIG ZIS, among others, who has been shaking up the male-dominated Swiss rap scene since the late 1990s with clever lyrics, funny punchlines and a provocative attitude. Swiss wine in your glass The festival takes place at the Sitenrain organic winery, which has been producing organic wine in Meggen for 20 years. Accordingly, wine culture is cultivated at the festival. For the first time this year, visitors can discover the diversity of the German-Swiss wine world on Saturday afternoon. A wine bar invites visitors to enjoy a tasting. Also in attendance: Nora Breitschmid from the Sitenrain organic winery, Heinz Kunz from Gatluzi, Fläsch, Patrick and Christina Germann from Weingärtli in Ennetbürgen and Benno Schwager from Bioweinbau Schwager, Egolzwil.
