The SEGMENT Festival strives to push the boundaries by offering a unique concept featuring a round of the World Skateboarding Tour gathering the best athletes in the world, top-notch music performances, exclusive film previews, and conferences. To complement the experience, an innovative exhibitor park will bring together Swiss actors from the boardsports and tourism industry, along with a gourmet space. The choice of the iconic Beaulieu center in Lausanne as the location is not arbitrary. Its proximity to many renowned Swiss resorts makes it an ideal place for this festival, while its immense and modern space will create an immersive universe that brings the mountain to the city.
The SEGMENT Festival is more than a jaw-dropping sports program. At sunset, renowned DJs and artists will take over to entertain and make the crowd dance.
The two evenings of concerts, with the first featuring more hip-hop music and the second showcasing electro and techno, promise to keep the party going until the early hours of the morning.
