Gölä plays in the sold -out Hallenstadion Zurich

First of all a stinging cheese fleece. He immediately smells who is entering the Hallenstadion this Saturday via the western main entrance. An hour before Gölä begins his anniversary concert here, the snake for raclette is long. The same applies to the stands with steak burger or cheese spaetzli. Because Gölä has sold out the stadium, as he has done a few times.

He actually had completely different. To celebrate his 25-year-old stage presence, the 56-year-old singer wanted to organize a three-day open-air festival at an airfield in the Nidwaldner town of Buochs. The festival should have taken place last summer, but had to be canceled beforehand because not enough people had bought tickets.

Marco Pfeuti, as Gölä is called, lost half a million francs and then said that he probably had “just too big with three days”. Therefore Halle instead of heaven, Zurich instead of Buochs. The approximately 10,000 Hallenstadion tickets for Saturday were gone in a week, which is why Gölä announced an additional concert for Sunday. Standing on Sunday there were still tickets for this.

Göläs is estimated “authenticity”

A few years ago, Gölä raved about the magazine “Weltwoche” that my audience is so diverse: young, old, old, punks, whites, white, yellow, immigrants, original Swiss. » In the Hallenstadion it can be seen that this is half right. The age differences of the fans actually look quite big. Obvious “punks”, on the other hand, are not recognizable. Many wear tidy hairstyles and checkered blouses or shirts, some in turn with Edelweiss. Hoodies, some with inscriptions such as “Landjäger”, “Hard Rock Cafe” or “Swiss Elite Truck” are also popular.

Also, the “Urschweizer” – if Gölä means Swiss without a migration background – should also be clearly in the majority. There are dialects from all over German -speaking Switzerland, flawless. Almost all fans are white. What do you appreciate about Gölä, why do you spend almost a hundred francs to see him?

A man with a beard and a hoodie on which the “Büetzer Buebe” stands is teeming with a laugh. «I’m the wrong one. I don’t have it that way with the media. » Others are more happy. They praise Gölä to be “authentic”, “honest” and “down -to -earth” because he, the trained flat painter from opplished be, still works with his hands today. Nobody of the respondents wants to see a contradiction in the fact that the wealthy musician no longer leads the life of an average craftsman and still insists that they have remained a “Büetzer”.

“He lived the life of a Büetzer, he knows what that means and is still a Büetzer in the heart,” says the real estate manager Annina, 35, from Hergiswil. Göläs political attitude finds her “partly delicate because he also makes extremely right statements”. But still enjoying the concert is not a problem.

Little political statements, but clear

Gölä, who rejected “heavy heart” in 2018, to run as a National Council for the SVP, is back in the Hallenstadion with political statements. He does not talk about finding the death penalty accordingly depending on the crime and does not compare the acceptance of queerness with “Sodom and Gomorrha”, as he has already done in interviews. He also does not say hair-raising things like recently in an SRF conversation when he suspected that “a good dictatorship was probably better than bad democracy”.

The attitude of the musician and that part of his audience flashes only occasionally. When Gölä looks back on his career by letting archive videos flicker about one of the large stage screens and comments on them, he naturally also tells the story of the surprising, incomparable success of his debut album “Uf u Dervo” (1998).

At that time, the featureleton overgone him with unnecessarily borne ridicule, smiled at his music and called him a “droll Michelin male” (“Facts”) or “undeterred manli with characters’ (” NZZ “). The audience saw it differently: No other dialect album sold as often as “Uf u dervo”, Gölä won countless prices. In 2025, in the Hallenstadion, he proudly summed up the beginnings of his career: “I have a whole left -wing artist scene.” To which roaring cheer breaks.

Love burns like fire

In general, Gölä and its very patent band have a firm grip on their audience. Fans were able to vote in advance which songs they want to hear. And she plays Gölä, who likes to refer to the “service provider” in this context. “Keini tears Meh”, “Büetzer”, “UF U DERVO”: All the classics of the earliest creative phase still work brilliantly more than 25 years later. Of course, most of them are text -safe in the stadium. Of course, tears fall on the first encore “Schwan” and any dance inhibitions at the last encore “I would have no viu Blöder Ta”.

The singer pushes some less acquaintances between these long eternal songs from the past 20 years, so that the show takes a whopping two and a half hours. The English -language songs, which Gölä once unsuccessfully published under the unoglover name “Burn”, cannot be heard. For this, nozzles blow real flame pillars into the stadium sky. “Dr Sit Geili Sieche,” says Gölä towards the end of his fans, “I Liebenech”. Love is mutually.
