Oesch´s - Die Dritten - Handmade Tour 2026
Finally, Oesch’s - Die Dritten, who are already superstars of folk music in Switzerland, are coming on their first big tour in Germany with their new program and their new CD "Handmade". They will present their most popular songs and of course songs from the new album. Oesch’s die Dritten primarily stand for one thing: Folk music is heart music!
One of the secrets of the family from the Swiss Bernese Oberland is the intergenerational composition of the formation: The siblings Melanie, Mike, and Kevin Oesch perform together with their parents Hansueli and Annemarie Oesch on stage and make folk music as if it were the most natural thing in the world. They are complemented by accordionist Urs Meier.
The family tradition began with the "Trio Oesch" led by Hans Oesch. His son Hansueli continued it with his wife Annemarie, and when their three children joined, thus forming the third generation, the group named themselves Oesch's die Dritten.
The success story began in the already 90s. Oesch’s die Dritten had their breakthrough in 2007 by winning the newcomer competition of the Musikantenstadl. Their CD from that year "Jodel-Zauber" stayed in the Swiss charts for months and reached double platinum. Since then, the 27-year success story of Oesch’s has been unstoppable, with over 2000 concerts played and performances in 15 nations, a total of 16 released albums of which 7 have been awarded gold, 2 platinum, and one even double platinum. Not to forget the PRIX WALO, with which the group has been honored four times.
Melanie Oesch, who is considered the best yodeler in the world, captivates with her unique vocal style and an engaging stage presence as the front singer. She has already impressed Helene Fischer with this talent, who invited her to reinterpret her biggest hit "Atemlos" together in her TV show.
Annemarie, who is not only the second singer but also plays the accordion, and Hansueli, master of the "Schwyzerörgeli", form the musical foundation. The sons Mike Oesch on bass and Kevin Oesch on guitar make up the perfect rhythm group. They are supported by Urs Meier, a perfectionist on the accordion, who as a trained accordion builder has a unique approach to his playing style.
Oesch’s die Dritten stand for joie de vivre, family cohesion, and respect. Their music combines tradition with modernity, and they are not afraid to weave elements from country, blues, and pop into it. Whether in dialect, German, French, English, or Spanish, Oesch’s die Dritten love it versatile and contrasting. With their motto "Oeschmusik is heart music and heart music knows no borders," they bring emotions and excitement to the stage, an experience that no audience can resist.
