Snowbombing 2011 > The Music
the music
For over a decade, Snowbombing has embraced live music from a wide spectrum of international artists; from Fatboy Slim to Friendly Fires, Mylo to Madness, Dizzee Rascal to De La Soul and Doves to Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip... A World Class Electronica Showcase in the Snow!
2011 Line Up Coming Soon!
Next year's Snowbombing will carry on where this years left off: with another awesome avalanche of live acts and DJ’s. We’ll be embracing all you’re your fave genres… whilst continuing to fly the flag for yodeling of course. Expect to be gradually flabbergasted over the coming months, as we assemble a line-up which will represent the LARGEST EVER SEEN in a ski/board resort – and that’s a promise.
With sky high igloo parties, open-air forest raves, secret backcountry shindigs and Austria’s biggest fancy dress street party… At Snowbombing, we tear up the rulebook and dare you to dance somewhere different.
Forest Party"The Arctic Disco is a venue to knock your socks off each time you see it and the Forest stage is something quite special... I'd love to go back..." - Virtual FestivalsThe now famous Waldfestplatz (the amazing forest clearing where Fatboy Slim, De la Soul, Krafty Kuts, Madness, 2ManyDJs and many more have played) will once again see the whole population of Mayrhofen donning their scarf's and winter warmers, and heading to the woods for a couple of amazing planned performances. Where better to party than in the middle of the woods in an Alpine mountain town. We turn the surrounding traditional Austrian shacks into bars and sausage factories, bring down a massive sound system and stadium size video screen and turn the old wooden stage (usually reserved for lederhosen-slapping dance troops and local weddings) into a pine-cradled platform for some of the world's best artists! |

Arctic DiscoThe coolest party you'll ever attend"Keep your Full Moon parties and tell Ibiza to go jump, because once you've danced in an igloo on top of a mountain in the Austria Alps, nothing really comes close." - TNT Mag Sat on a plateau high above Mayrhofen, is a party venue unlike any other you will ever visit. Sculpted from eternal ice and snow; the Arctic Disco is a destination without equal. A meandering corridor leads to two dance areas; a chill out space complete with luxurious fur rugs, and three bars (the house speciality is a cocktail served in ice glasses). Outside, star gazers sip warm drinks around a roaring fire and gaze in wonder at the unique atmospheric display viewable at this altitude. Partying doesn't get any cooler. Literally. (The Igloo is open to all in the daytime but tickets for the night events need to be booked and paid for in addition to your standard Snowbombing entertainment wristband.) The Arctic Disco costs a mere 35GBP and is worth every penny. To book; add the option when you book accommodation or log back into your booking and add it later. |

Street PartyIts a roadblock... Literally!
We stop the traffic, park a stadium rock Funktion 1 P.A system right across the main street, set up loads of bars and invite the entire population of Mayrhofen to join the fancy dress party. The street party is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Snowbombing. It kicks off in mid-afternoon in glorious sunshine and ends in darkness in the late evening. Fancy dress themes have included superheroes, mythical heroes, animals, inflatable Viking ships, retro-skiwear... and Bill Oddie. |

The Racket ClubAn over head smashDuring Snowbombing, this vast underground tennis centre is completely transformed to create a 3000 capacity concert + club venue. Massive sound system, huge dance floor and a subterranean vibe which is unmatched across the mountains. Going underground has never been as much fun (well not since the great Circle Line party of 2008…)! Handily located in the middle of town, our host venue has witnessed some electrifying live sets over the last few years: Grandmaster Flash, Dizzee Rascal, The Enemy (twice!), Dirty Pretty Things and Friendly Fires to name a few. Production values here are worthy of any venue... Sound is crystal clear and lighting is state-of-the-art. As every Snowbomber knows, there’s nothing like a bit of Raquet to make the party swing… |
|
SchlusselSauna Clubbing!Affectionately nick-named the 'sweat-box' by Snowbombing regulars, this traditional wooden venue is always a favourite: Yer traditional wooden Austrian alpine holiday disco with beefed up sound and lights, which results in a uniquely steamy atmosphere...
|
 |
ArenaThe late, late show!One of our favourite DJ venues and always kicking until the small hours is the Arena. Nestling naughtily beneath our HQ Hotel - The Strass, The Arena has seen a long list of superstar DJs over the years including Tayo and his ever colourful Tracksuit Party, DJ Yoda, Jon Carter, Justin Robertson, DJ Marky, James Zabiela and many many more... And with an extended licence until 7am and extra sound in 2010, the Arena was the place to be. |
 |
Backcountry PartyThis Party Is A TripYou'll be taken by coach though the centre of a mountain (in a 2 km long tunnel) to "the forgotten valley" of Floitental. The coach then climbs up the steep sided valley (snow conditions allowing) through a wild forest, past the waterfall, to snowfields which lead to the Tux, glacier. Here you'll spend your evening in a unique venue: the 200 year old Tristenbachalm: a converted traditional wooden farmstead...which possesses a sound system, split level bars, balcony, minstrels gallery, stage and...of course decks!
Outside on the terrace, traditional musicians play and fires will keep you warm under the stars, as plucky souls Challenge the Lumberjack in a series of tree-trunk lifting and log-carrying tests of strength, spirit and sobriety... The BCP costs a mere 30GBP and is worth every penny. |
 |
Sports BarIntimate and infectiousHosting apres ski fun and games on the terrace outside, followed by a line-up of fantastic live bands in the evening this centrally located and intimate venue has seen some of Snowbombings best live gigs over the past few years including: Eliza Doolittle, the Noisettes, The Courteeners, Lightspeed Champion, Kid Carpet, Metros and many more...Snowbombers love it because it offers a unique chance to get up-front-and-personal with all the bands who'll be playing on festival stages and in huge arenas as the summer sun climbs higher. "One of the loudest and gleefully received events of the year. Summer's going to have to pull something seriously heavy out of the bag to top this." - IDJ Magazine |
 |
Mountain StageHigher than the clouds"The sun sets behind some of the most stunning scenery you're ever likely to clap your eyes on." - IDJ MagazineSnowbombing afternoons are spent beneath blue skies at 5000 feet above sea level, drinking cool golden beer, (and er eating golden chips), and being aurally massaged by the only arena which sees the stage manager leave work on a paraglider! Loose Cannons leading a mass mosh pit in the snow to Rage Against the Machine, Petty Crooks pumping out the Feel Good Tunes and Squeaky Hill running around with targets around their heads encouraging the snowball flight of the century... It's just another day at the office for the mountain stagers who catch springtime sunshine to a cheese-free mountain musical soundtrack (and if you've ever been on a normal ski holiday, you'll appreciate just what this means!)... One of the unique aspects of Snowbombing. |

Pro-Rider Party In The ParkDon't try this at home!The park in question being the Vans Penken Park; a gravity-abusing play area comprising of more kickers than a Pub football team, a half pipe the size of the Eurotunnel, genital-threatening rails and table tops of epic proportions. Watch from the of the nearby Almhof, sit back in the sun or enjoy one of Christine's perfect pizza's on the Terrace, as people invariably younger and decidedly more talented than you, show how it's done to a cool soundtrack provided by a selection of DJ's. Details of our Pro-comp coming soon... |
 |
Mo'sSavoury Bites and Juicy FunSlightly more chilled and serving food until late, the parties in Mo's revolve around participation. From the 'Just Press Play Party' (iPod battle) to Open Mic Nights and Musical Blingo, Mo's is more gregarious than Graham Norton and tastier than Keeley Hazell with a reputation for informal interactive fun with steaks, burgers and chicken wings! |
 |
Secret Venue TBA...Hidden gemFollowing the secretive success of NARNIA (our super hush hush hidden venue which was accessed via a wardrobe (natch), we will be unveiling another mysterious hideaway at SB:11. Expect the unexpected - including some big name surprise guests and the kind of interactive party experience on a par with that pass the parcel game at your 8th birthday (when your Mum let you win and Stephen Dorricot stormed off and locked himself in the loo). Details will be divulged in a slow motion striptease - with clues given to help you find our innermost sanctum / secret lair / the hide (ok so we havn't got a name for it yet, but you can bet your beanie that it'll be more engaging than a penalty shoot out - without the inevitable pain). |
|
Every night at Snowbombing, we make sure that there is enough room across all of our clubs for everyone to go out and have a wicked time. In some cases, our venues do reach capacity and we have to direct Snowbombers to other parties. Please bear with us on this issue... We do our utmost to make sure everyone is happy!
Artist Biogs Coming Soon!
For Snowbombing we like to add a bit of excitement by adding new artists to the line up as we get closer to the event. We have not yet announced any acts for Snowbombing 2011, but watch this space... With artist negotiations firmly underway, we are expecting this year to have the biggest and best line-up yet! You can expect to see the full schedule finished by Christmas, however keep your eyes on the website as we update the line up constantly.
The Snowbombing UK Club Tour 2011!
Mobile Blizzard!We're on the road again... The Snowbombing UK Club Tour is a devil may care voyage of disco(very), which stops off and sprinkles Snowbombing lunacy on the UK's clubbing hotspots. Once again we're hitting the road and being driven by Volvo-literally. From golden leafed October 2010 to bloody freezing January 2011, we’ll be covering more miles, staring at the Sat Nav and eating more pasties and bags of Wine Gums than ever before. Our club tour will be touching down in the UK's coolest cities; giving you folk a slice of Snowbombing-sculpted shenenigens and on-the-button beats from our touring troupe of tyre turning turntablists.
