About Black Diamonds
Black Diamonds are a crazy mix of catchy melodies, hard rock and eyeliner. The four musicians from the St. Gallen Rhine Valley know how to stage 80s hard rock perfectly, leaving no stone unturned in the process: their high-energy show takes them far beyond the Rhine Valley, right across Switzerland and on concert tours throughout Europe. The collective is bound by a close friendship: you can feel it in front of the stage and hear it in the songwriting, in which every band member actively takes part.
“Anyone into wild, perfectly played and staged 80s-style rock […] MUST see Black Diamonds live. The only points I can deduct are for the set being too short, but that was down to the tight schedule of the evening.” (Live Review Rock Magazine 2017, 9 out of 10 points)
In mid-2024, the fifth studio album "Destination Paradise" is ceremoniously launched. The virtuoso guitars, sing-along choruses and punchy grooves make you forget your everyday problems and whisk you away into the glamorous world of rock 'n' roll. Grab your ticket and be part of the party – next stop: Paradise!
