Alexandre Trochut

In case you missed it, Snowbombing – the worlds number 1 music festival on snow – has revealed the complete line-up for 2016, including The Prodigy, Sven Väth, Fatboy Slim, AndHim, Black Coffee, Sam Feldt, Jungle, Netsky, Oliver Heldens, Henrik Schwarz, Andy C, Jamie Jones and more! With breathtaking festival venues, a show shopping line-up, warm spring rays, 5* spas, pure powdery perfection and the most enthusiastic, up-for-it crowd in the world, snowbombing is the ultimate winter sports festival experience.

Snowbombing adds another avalanche of acts to the already jam-packed bill, including Fatboy Slim, Sven Väth, Skepta, Slaves, Black Coffee, Sam Feldt, Mind Against and more! The new acts will join headliners including The Prodigy, Bastille, Jungle, Netsky, Andy C and Jamie Jones at the world’s No.1 music festival on snow, which takes place from 4th – 9th April 2016, in the picturesque alpine town of Mayrhofen in Austria.

Nestled in a breath-taking alpine setting with snow-capped vistas, Snowbombing boasts the most awe-inspiring festival venues in the world; from a mountaintop igloo 6,000 feet above sea level, to enchanted forest clearings, cosy alpine lodges, atmospheric medieval barns, and an impressive selection of après ski bars and clubs.

This year, Fatboy Slim will return to the mountains for a headline set at Snowbombing 2016! Brighton’s favourite beatmaster took control of The Racket Club at SB15 to serve out one of the best sets of the festival. Brimming with hits like “Right Here Right Now” and “Praise You“, it also demonstrated the superstar DJ’s return to form with 2014’s chart-topping “Eat Sleep Rave Repeat” and his killer remix of Mark Ronson‘s “Uptown Funk“. With his new project Smile High Club, headline festival sets around the world and even a surprise DJ set at Banksy’s Dismaland, it’s been a phenomenal year for the big beat pioneer and his performance at Snowbombing 2016 is guaranteed to be another show-stopper.

Next up, and swapping the White Isle of Ibiza for the white peaks of the ‘Hof for his debut Snowbombing performance, it’s Sven Väth! Few artists have built a legacy as far-reaching and influential as techno luminary Väth. One of dance music’s most colourful characters, his legendary Cocoon parties at Amnesia continue to be a mecca for partygoers all around the world. With his outlandish on-stage antics and boundless enthusiasm, Papa Sven’s snowbombing debut is sure to be unmissable.

When it comes to house music, South African DJ Black Coffee’s soul-drenched house vibes will be the perfect pick me up after a day on the slopes, along with sets from Citizenn, Dirtybird’s Justin Martin, Spinnin RecordsSam Feldt and Dutch duo Chocolate Puma. Also announced today are acts including Chris Lorenzo, Doorly, Droog, Mele, Mind Against, Shy FX’s Party on the Moon and everybody’s favourite mischief makers The Cuban Brothers. With more names added and lots still to be announced Snowbombing 2016 is shaping up to be the most incredible year yet. Check out the full line-up below :
