TICKETS BIFFY CLYRO

Festhalle Bern is more than a venue — it’s a modern, purpose-built event hub on the BERNEXPO site, designed for concerts, live shows, sports, and congress formats. Its modular layout makes it easy to scale from intimate setups to major productions, with a capacity of up to 9,000 guests.

Inside, the experience feels unmistakably “arena-level”: generous sightlines, production-ready infrastructure, and a layout that supports smooth crowd flow. Visitors typically appreciate the practical amenities, comfortable waiting areas, and the way entry and intermissions stay efficient even on busy nights.

Head straight to Papiermühlestrasse 50, Bern, Switzerland. Entrances are located along the exhibition grounds and are usually clearly signed by event type; the venue is a quick walk from Bern Wankdorf, with Guisanplatz Expo as the closest stop. If you’re driving, on-site BERNEXPO parking is the easiest option; for broader city transport tips, see the text further down the page.

Bern, the Swiss capital, is not only the country’s administrative center, but also a surprisingly strong European destination for concerts and sporting events. The city combines an elegant vibe, a compact center, and top-tier organization, making a night out as enjoyable as the stay itself. With a varied range of accommodation and dining – from hotels in the historic core to practical options nearby – Bern is an excellent choice when you want to plan your trip and secure tickets without stress. Visitors often highlight the sense of calm, safety, and order, which adds an extra layer of ease to the whole experience.

One of Bern’s biggest advantages is its connectivity: the city transport network BERNMOBIL (trams and buses) and the commuter rail S-Bahn Bern make it quick to reach key arenas and stadiums without complicated transfers. If you arrive by train, Bahnhof Bern is the natural starting point for getting around the city and region, while flying in is convenient via Bern Airport (Belp), with an easy continuation by public transport. Thanks to the logical layout of lines and clear signage, it’s simple to match the event schedule with your arrival, check-in, and a short city stroll.

If you’re coming for an event, Bern also offers a great “tourist bonus” before or after the show. Wander through the Altstadt (UNESCO), beneath its iconic arcades and past the city fountains, then pause at the Zytglogge and on Bundesplatz to feel the city’s rhythm. For fresh air, a walk along the Aare River or a view from Rosengarten often becomes a highlight of the trip, while BärenPark and viewpoints over the old town round out Bern as a city that blends events with authentic Swiss charm.

Biffy Clyro are a Scottish rock band formed in Kilmarnock in 1995, celebrated for blending alternative rock grit with big melodies and stadium-ready hooks. The trio—Simon Neil alongside twin brothers James and Ben Johnston—deliver a signature sound that works as well in intimate rooms as on vast outdoor stages. Their songs often move from quiet tension to explosive peaks, so repeat listens keep revealing fresh guitar layers, rhythmic turns, and unexpected harmonic shifts that reward attention. The band’s longevity comes from a constant appetite to evolve without losing its core identity.

Their show production is built around a tightly tuned band “wall of sound”, clear vocals and responsive lighting that mirrors every change of pace. Audiences get a full, balanced mix wherever they stand, because the arrangements stay solid even when a song opens up for controlled improvisation. Live, they stand out for timing, drive and emotional pacing, with enough breathing space for the crowd to sing, reset, and surge again. Visuals remain purposeful and supportive, keeping the focus on the performance and the songs.

Biffy Clyro are not just hitmakers: they write songs that connect personal stories to universal themes of growth, loss and resilience. The lyrics are vivid enough to invite interpretation, yet direct enough to be shouted back in unison. Musically they range from heavy riffs to atmospheric interludes, with marked shifts in meter and tempo, so the catalogue suits rock fans and listeners chasing modern, heartfelt intensity. In the studio, layered arrangements and punchy detail help each chorus land with real impact.
