YB championship celebrations 2023 in Bern: an unforgettable moment for the city

BSC Young Boys: BSC Young Boys is a Swiss sports club from Bern. YB has won a national title 23 times to date. The reigning champions won the championship for the sixteenth time in 2023.

ZONE B: Founded in 2010 as an owner-managed event agency, the company now operates successfully in the fields of communication, design and events.

Initial situation/requirements:

In the 2022/2023 season, BSC YB once again won the Swiss football championship, delighting many Bernese. Naturally, this fact had to be celebrated in style. The championship celebrations kicked off with a parade through the city of Bern and the fans then gathered at the Wankdorf stadium for concerts and a party. The musical highlights of the evening included concerts by Take This with guests from the Bernese music scene such as Lo & Leduc. Tens of thousands celebrated with the football team.

Technical implementation:

As a sponsor of YB, Zone B commissioned the Kilchenmann team with the technical planning and implementation of the entire audio and lighting technology. The mobile stage was also procured and set up by Kilchenmann.

A total of around 36 tons of event technology was installed. At peak times, the Kilchenmann crew was on site with 40 people. The tight schedule (only 18 days) required perfect advance planning by our project managers and briefings for the entire crew.
