After a two-year hiatus, the CERN MusiClub is very pleased to announce that the Hardronic Music Festival is back!
For more than 30 years, Hardronic has been an opportunity for CERN staff, students, users and their friends and families to come to the site and enjoy live music, delicious food and cool drinks. This year's edition, featuring nine of the CERN MusiClub's finest bands, will take place on Saturday, 23 July 2022 on the Restaurant 3 terrace on the Prévessin site. Music will start at 3.00 p.m., and there will be lots more on offer to entertain you.
Thanks to the kind support of the CERN Staff Association and Management, entry to the festival is completely free. A regular free shuttle bus will also be provided from the Meyrin site thanks to the SCE department. What's more, 100% of the profits from the bar will support the work of AidforAll, a local charity helping poor communities with basic needs, education and emergency health care in Viet Nam, India, Laos and, most recently, Ukraine.

“Music on the Lawn” is a free rock concert featuring bands from the CERN MusiClub. This year’s event, the first since 2019, will feature RPM2, Diracula, the Canettes Blues Band and Shadowplay.
After a two-year hiatus, the CERN MusiClub is also planning this year's Hardronic Music Festival to be held on 23 July on the terrace of Restaurant 3. We invite you to save the date and stay tuned for full details coming soon.
Dear all,
As you may have seen, CERN announced the transition to COVID level 2 (Yellow) as of Monday 7th of March and this means that on-site club activities can be restarted.
It is important to stress that all members must strictly follow the sanitary rules agreed with the HSE COVID taskforce last October to prevent a situation where we are forced to close our doors again. In particular, please note that, despite the easing of rules in Switzerland in recent weeks, CERN still require masks to be worn at all times.
Rules for the LARGE LOCALE:
Rules for the SMALL LOCALE:
All updates on these rules will be informed via email, but you can also check the up-to-date version on the website.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us.
Cheers,
the MusiClub board,
Greg, Pedro and Tom
Dear all,
The next Annual General Meeting of the CERN MusiClub will take place on Thu 24th March at 18:00. The meeting will be held via Zoom.
Since the club has been mostly closed, the meeting agenda will be (again) rather short:
If you have any other club matters that you think should be discussed, please let us know before the AGM.
During this AGM we will be electing the MusiClub board for the next year. Therefore, all club members who have an affiliation with CERN (staff members, users, contractors, alumni, and retirees) are encouraged to step up for the board elections.
Cheers,
the MusiClub Board (Greg, Pedro, Tom)
Dear members,
As you may have seen from the CERN official communication, as of Monday 6 December, CERN will be moving to COVID Level 3 - Orange.
This unfortunately means that all club activities are forbidden on site once again, so we are forced to shut the doors of our rehearsal locales as of next week. As a result, we have cancelled all bookings blocked all slots in the booking sheet until further notice.
It may not be the end of the year we expected, but we hope that 2022 will be a better year for all of us and that we can open the locales again as soon as possible. We will let you know as soon as we have news.
We take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and healthy Christmas break.
Cheers,
Greg, Pedro and Tom
your MusiClub board
Dear all,
Over the past months we have been working with HSE workgroup responsible for ensuring that all CERN premises and activities are safe for personnel. After some iterations, we finally came to an agreement for the measures required to safely open both locales.
It is important to stress that all members must strictly follow the rules to prevent a situation where we are forced to close our doors again.
Rules for the LARGE LOCALE:
Rules for the SMALL LOCALE:
Note that in the Large Locale regular slots are still reserved for bands that had them in previous years. We know that a lot has changed in the last year, so please log in to the booking system and update your bookings if you do not plan to keep using these slots.
We ask all bands to reply to us and nominate a responsible person in charge of enforcing all rules mentioned above. We remind you that all bands without a responsible person will not be allowed to use the room.
After a big break, we would also like to thank you all for your patience and comprehension regarding the current situation.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us.
Cheers,
the MusiClub board,
Greg, Pedro and Tom
Dear all,
We hope you are all doing OK.
As you may be aware, CERN's COVID level dropped to "level 2" on the 19th of July:
https://hse.cern/alert-level/general-level-2-yellow
At this level, indoors on-site club activities are authorized subject to compliance with a set of sanitary instructions. We are currently working on a solution for this so that we can have the rehearsal rooms available again. Until this procedure is complete and the measures approved, access to the rooms unfortunately remains blocked.
Furthermore, we would like to inform you that, during the closure, the floor of the large locale has been repaired and we are now restoring the room with all the equipment that you need to play. By the time we figure out all the sanitary instructions needed for the club to function again, the rooms will be fully ready for you!
In the meantime, we ask you to be patient for a few more days, having in mind that you will hear from us as soon as we have news.
Cheers,
Greg, Pedro, Tom
Dear all,
The next Annual General Meeting of the CERN MusiClub will take place on Thu 18th March at 18:00. The decision of pushing the AGM to early Spring was discussed and voted during our previous AGM held on the 21st October 2020. The meeting will be held via Zoom.
Since the club has been closed, the meeting agenda will be (again) rather short:
If you have any other club matters that you think should be discussed, please let us know before the AGM.
During this AGM we will be electing the MusiClub board for the next year. Therefore, all club members who have an affiliation with CERN (staff members, users, contractors, alumni, and retirees) are encouraged to step up for the board elections.
