Volkshaus Zurich is a historic venue in Zurich, Switzerland, known for hosting a variety of cultural activities, including events, concerts, record fairs, and discussion panels.
Opened in the early 20th century, Volkshaus originally served as a center for the Swiss labor movement. Over time, it evolved into a space for social gatherings and cultural events.
The venue offers several rooms and spaces, with the theater hall being the highlight, where major concerts by Swiss and international artists across various musical genres, including rock and heavy metal, are held.
Iconic bands like Motörhead, Slayer, Die Toten Hosen, and Krokus have graced the Volkshaus stage at different points in their careers.
The audience can enjoy shows either standing on the floor or seated in the upper balconies. The venue’s relatively small size ensures good visibility of the stage, particularly from the seated areas.
