Swiss duo Adriatique made their Royal Albert Hall debut with a four-hour set in the auditorium.
Adriatique, the Swiss duo who recorded a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2017, made their debut at the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington on Thursday 17 April 2025. They played a four-hour set from 20:00 to 00:00.
Adrian Shala and Adrian Schweizer met in a Zurich nightclub in 2008, and the name comes from the first name they share. They began producing as Adriatique in 2009 and released their first tracks in 2011.
They became affiliated with Diynamic, the label founded by Solomun, and launched their own label, Siamese, in 2016. Their debut album, Nude, came out on Tale Of Us’s Afterlife label in 2018.
The pair have won three awards at the Swiss Nightlife Awards. At the Hall they took a melodic house and techno set into an auditorium more used to orchestras, with a standing arena on the floor.
Labyrinth Events promoted the night. A support DJ set began at 19:00, an hour before the duo took over.
