The Tension Festival 2018 was great and shone with a record attendance. Many ticket categories were completely sold out (early bird , combined tickets and VIP tickets). This has driven the organizers with full energy to start the planning for the TENSION Festival 2019 even earlier , so that already for all loyal guests the first Very Early Bird Combi Tickets can be offered! The ticket entitles you to the Daysession AND Nightsession in the club of your choice. The offer is limited to just 100 tickets and usually quickly sold out. Hurry up! The already ninth edition of the Tension Festival takes place again on 31 July , the day before the Swiss National Holiday , in the Gartenbad St. Jakob in Basel. Traditionally , first on the open-air floor during the day , before it can be celebrated at night in Basel's top clubs. You can look forward to a first-class line-up and an attractive festival area with two mainstages , a large beach lounge , street food area , various stalls , bars and many other attractions. Not to be forgotten is the unlimited access to the garden St. Jakob including the use of the slide , which allows all guests a refreshing cooling off the hot summer day. More Info below.
