The legendary DICHTERSCHLACHT returns to the TOBS stages on 14 & 15.11.25 with a variety of promises. Poetry what? At a poetry slam, spoken word artists compete with self-written texts and fight for the audience's favor.
The line-up from Austria and Switzerland, curated with great attention to detail, promises a fantastic autumn highlight with a colorful bouquet of live literature: Emil Kaschka (A), Vice World Champion in Poetry Slam 2024, cabaret cannon Lisa Christ, art and culture jack-of-all-trades Patrick Frey and slam princess Fine Degen guarantee a top-class spoken word quartet and the best entertainment. Paquita Maria and François Colléaux (F) will provide the musical intermezzo with a mixture of French chansons and Bernese-German poetry. The battles will be hosted by slam legend and podcaster Marco "Güschä" Gurtner.
Save-the-dates Dichterschlacht 2026 : March 27, 2026 in Solothurn | March 28, 2026 in Biel
Following on from the sold-out Bern City Theater at the final of the 2022 Swiss Poetry Slam Championship, the region's oldest poetry slam will take to both big stages at TOBS! Since the 24/25 season, the poetry slam has been held twice a year at the Stadttheater Biel and Solothurn. The timing couldn't be more perfect. In 2026, the Dichterschlacht will celebrate its 20th anniversary. The first poetry slam took place at the Autonomous Youth Center in Biel on 16 September 2006. Back then, poetry slams were still a niche event in Switzerland and Hazel Brugger was just entering her teens.
Today, poetry slam inspires a wide audience. The Dichterschlacht celebrates the art of words and makes the TOBS! stage shake.
