"Participation in the Basel Tattoo was a great privilege for our country. It filled me with immense pride that my band and I were able to represent Australia at this first-class event. The excellent organisation, the impressive show quality and the first-class support from the event team are among the best experiences we have ever had."

"The Basel Tattoo is a treat for the eyes and ears. I've had the privilege of being there live a number of times. The tattoo team is characterized by creativity and a doer mentality. A more than successful surprise was the visit of a tattoo delegation to Kandersteg on the occasion of my milestone birthday. I was very happy."

No DVD and BluRay of the Basel Tattoo 2024
Due to the following factors we have decided not to release DVD and BluRay of the Basel Tattoo to produce in 2024:
-
Changing demand: The trend towards streaming platforms and digital media has increased significantly in recent years. Demand for physical media such as DVDs and BluRays, on the other hand, has declined significantly.
-
Sustainability: By avoiding physical products, we want to make our contribution to reducing plastic waste and resource consumption.
-
Cost-benefit ratio: The production of DVDs and BluRays is complex and cost-intensive. Due to falling sales figures, the cost is no longer worth the benefit.
However, it is still possible to Basel Tattoo 2024 in full length on a USB stick for the price of CHF 19.90. You can find the article in our online shop at baseltattoo.ch. You are also welcome to place your order with the desired number of USB sticks by email to shop@baseltattoo.ch.
We thank you for your understanding and are pleased that you continue to support the Basel Tattoo remain faithful.
