Super Wednesday at STARS IN TOWN rocked Schaffhausen! From local heroes ELLIS MANO BAND to the legendary ALICE COOPER, the night was packed with unforgettable performances. UGLY KID JOE brought ’90s nostalgia with “Everything About You” & “Cat’s In The Cradle,” while ALICE COOPER’s shock rock spectacle—complete with guillotine and powerhouse guitarist Nita Strauss—blew the crowd away. Rain didn’t stop the energy, and the packed Herrenacker square proved once again: this festival is pure magic.
