For the majority of people, most of the festivals they go to take place during the summer months. However, because of the popularity for big music events – a lot of festivals are now taking place during the winter months. Meaning you can add another festival wristband to your collection!
Berg Festival
The ‘BERGFESTival’ takes place in the town of Saalbach in Austria between the 2 – 4 December. It is a festival that is designed for all the family to go to which makes it ideal for a family ski trip. The headline acts to be seen at the festival are Wolfmother, Alligatoah and La Brass Banda, which offers rock music that combines the old sound with the new.
Horizon Festival
Horizon packs its bass layers much more tightly than most electronic snowsports festivals, with garage particularly prominent amongst the usual techno and house music seen at these type of events. With Bulgarian prices being traditionally being cheaper, Horizon’s lineups and attention to detail stand out as all the more impressive with Nina Kravitz, Gentlemen’s Dub Club and Goldie taking the stage at the festival.
Snowboxx
Snowboxx is a festival that is fairly new and tailored towards the younger ski crowd. It is known for the small and intimate stage which is in the centre of the Avoriaz ski resort which will welcome Sigma, Stormzy and Blonde between the 18 – 25 March.
Sneeuwbal Winter Festival
The Sneeuwbal winter festival aims to bring together all the festivities of the ski season and create a unique and joyful music festival. The creative house and techno lineups include the famous Dutch producer/DJ Joran van Pol, along with Jay Hardway and Benny Rodrigues, which will be sure to light up Utrecht, Netherlands.
Snowbombing
Snowbombing has without a doubt become one of the biggest music festivals regardless of the season. The famous mountain-top and igloo stages will be hosting some huge names including The Prodigy, Jamie Jones, Fatboy Slim, Jungle and Craig David. One thing for certain is that the city of Mayrhofen, Austria will host a music event that will put any of its ground-based festivals to shame.
