Waitlist is a Rock Band from the Geneva region that was formed in 2013 by two Germans and three Englishmen. They all played in bands during their youth and rediscovered their music passion when work had brought them to Romandie.
At the outset they only covered their favorite bands like Radiohead, Muse and The Killers without the intention of giving concerts. Their friends insisted though and so in 2014 the band played their first gig in the basement of a private residence – with overwhelming feedback. So, they decided to carry on and entered the Geneva club scene with gigs at La Scene, Pickwicks and Champmeslé.
In the meantime Waitlist started writing their own music which they would describe as melodic indie pop-rock. The likes of Coldplay, Placebo and again Radiohead can be named as influencers. More and more songs were written and at concerts played across Europe the band would now focus on their own songs. It is important to the band to involve the audience during their concerts and thus the gigs tend to become one big party. The band started recording and publishing songs and videos in 2023. An EP is envisaged for May 2024 followed by Waitlist’s first album which is expected for late 2024.
