Just Live Loud

Swiss rockers Shakra return to Z7 on October 23, 2026 with a brand-new album. Under the programmatic title Just Live Loud, they present fresh songs while capturing everything that has defined the band over three decades. “Become who you are,” Shakra quote Friedrich Nietzsche – making it clear that this chapter is more than just another release. It’s a statement. A night for everyone who doesn’t just listen to rock, but lives it.

For over 30 years, Shakra have steered their course unwaveringly through the highs and lows of the music business. Line-up changes, pandemic breaks, shifting trends – none of it has knocked the band off track. Instead, they have built a distinctive sonic universe somewhere between hard rock and metal, constantly evolving without ever denying their roots. The success speaks for itself: since 2007, every studio album has reached the top ranks of the Swiss charts, with Invincible even hitting No. 1. Yet after all these years, Shakra are not interested in being louder than everyone else or chasing trends. It’s about being clearer. More authentic.

Just Live Loud is more than just an album title – it’s an attitude. Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Don’t turn down the volume just to fit in. Make mistakes, get back up, move forward. Live your freedom to the fullest. Armed with new songs and an ever-growing catalogue of anthems from three decades, Shakra will once again deliver the full blast in 2026. Those who move forward strive toward their goals – and anyone with rock in their heart knows: this night at Z7 won’t be about standing still. Just Live Loud.
