‍Summerin Thun - that means balmy evenings, atmospheric music and culinary delights right on the Aare: away from the hustle and bustle of Mühliplatz, our quiet and sunny Aare terrace on the Thun Riviera invites you to linger. Here you can experience the relaxed side of summer - with live music by regional artists, delicious BBQ specialties and a unique atmosphere by the water.

Live music, BBQ & aperitif feeling directly on the Aare in Thun

On Wednesday, September 10, 2025 from 6 p.m., HIGHLAND SANCTUARY will be playing live on our terrace - a musical highlight on the Thun Riviera.

HIGHLAND SANCTUARY live - September 10, 2025 in Thun

Behind the Swiss act Highland Sanctuary is the young, extremely talented musician, songwriter and music producer Simeon. The Bernese grew up in a family of musicians. As a child, he attended piano and drum lessons, followed by guitar lessons and music theory at grammar school. He then deepened his knowledge and skills at music college. Versatile and talented, like his father who is a professional musician, Simeon taught himself other instruments such as electric bass, double bass, banjo, alto saxophone, trumpet and tin whistle.

It doesn't really sound like it, but Highland Sanctuary is a one-man band. Simeon plays all the instruments himself, sings and has also written all the songs himself. But that's not all, he produced all the songs himself in his own recording studio, Famous Sound Productions. This concept is also consistently implemented live: Highland Sanctuary presents a unique one-man show! In June 2019, Highland Sanctuary released his first song "Hold Me Tight". Since then, he has been wowing audiences at concerts and his music can be heard on major radio stations in Switzerland, the Arab world, South Africa and many other countries.
