On Saturday, 9 August 2025, we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary on stage! The birthday concert will take place at 8 pm at Station Circus on Basel’s Dreispitz.
As all 150 tickets have already been allocated, we are currently unable to accept any more reservations. If you still want to come, you can still try to get a ticket at the box office shortly before the start.
Admission is free – but if you would like to make us happy on our birthday, you are welcome to throw something into the hat at the exit. The proceeds will go directly towards our next customised stage outfit – a birthday present with a lasting effect 😉
We look forward to seeing you there!
Giovanni & Michael
Our album Cut & Play is now available at our concerts! It’s available digitally on AppleMusic and “for free” on Spotify.

Les Papillons cannot be pressed into any genre! Their programmes are neither comedy nor song recital, neither cabaret nor chamber concert, but above all a musically as well as visually captivating performance that is incredibly fun, and makes you almost always happy! With their concerts, in which they bring together quotes from around a hundred pieces of music that are burned into everyone’s ears, Les Papillons are unique. They tell stories with their wild collages, surprise again and again with unexpected twists and abduct the audience into their musical cosmos. The two award-winning musicians unite the worlds of pop and classical music with breathtaking virtuosity and playfulness. Now, after twenty years on stage together, they present their anniversary programme SUPERNOVA – a new star of light in the firmament of concert stages!
