20 Minuten celebrates anniversary party at Kosmos

The Winterthur band Awesome Arnold provided the first musical entertainment of the evening. It continued with Kings, the Swiss-British dual citizen who is honing her international music career in London. One of the highlights at the 20-minute birthday party was the performance of Lewis Capaldi. The Scottish high-flyer is known as much for his sad songs as for his humor. In the cinema hall, he played an intimate showcase twice in a row.

After that, the guys from Hecht, who recently played at the sold-out Hallenstadion, lured the guests onto the dance floor of the Kosmos foyer with their dialect anthems. Finally, the guests danced to the songs of the Finnish newcomer Alma. 

Marcel Kohler, Head of Commuter Media, is proud: "In December 1999, a small commuter newspaper stirred up the Swiss media landscape mightily. 20 years later, 20 Minuten has not only grown up, but is by far the most widely read news medium in Switzerland. Reason enough to celebrate extensively, to toast with everyone to the success of the past years and to say thank you. And with a real party, as befits a 20th birthday." 

All employees, key customers and partners as well as an exclusive group of readers were invited to the birthday party, which was implemented in collaboration with the Standing Ovation agency. These had won the exclusive ticket to the party at one of the public transport concerts that 20 Minuten organized to kick off the anniversary celebrations. In the five biggest cities in German-speaking Switzerland, Nickless, Dabu Fantastic, Bastian Baker, Lo & Leduc and Crimer performed on streetcars, buses or boats in October.
