Ronnie Loves Music 2025:

Five Unforgettable Days of Music, Madness & Magic in the Mountains

If you were in Méribel between 24th and 28th March, chances are you felt it: the electric buzz in the air, the thud of basslines echoing across the snow, the sound of 1000s people singing in unison on a sun-drenched terrace. Ronnie Loves Music came back with a bang—and Après Ski Bands is beyond proud to have been part of this iconic event once again.

From our side, it was an honour to curate and manage the full artist line-up, stage logistics, accommodation, transfers, sound & lighting in partnership with Le Rond Point. And yes, it was as full-on as it sounds—but so, so worth it.

Here’s just a taste of what went down:

Ronnie Loves Music by the Numbers:

1000 people every day

3500 jugs of Kro (that’s a lot of beer goggles!)

1000 bottles of rosé

500 burgers + 400 portions of fries

40 staff working a combined 5000+ hours

The Line-Up That Kept Us Dancing:

A Word From Le Rond Point’s GM, Omar Baldaccioni:

“What can I add, I think we’re all incredibly proud of hosting a festival which can be regarded as free—and if you consider the work and investment that goes into hosting this event, not just from the core RP staff but also our partners such as Après Ski Bands, who do an outstanding job in putting together the lineup, planning all the transfers and accommodation for all the artists and not forgetting the technical side, the photography, videos, managing the stages, sound and lighting—it’s an incredible achievement. Roll on 2026!”

 A Massive Shoutout…

To Gwilym Thomas, who captured every single moment with passion, precision, and barely a minute of rest. From soaring drone shots to sweaty dance floor madness and the quiet in-between moments, Gwilym’s work has immortalised the magic of Ronnie Loves Music 2025.

The Energy? Absolutely Mad.

It wasn’t just the music—it was the people, the setting, the sunshine, the sound system, the terrace shaking  under your feet, and the sheer effort from every person behind the scenes. There’s nothing quite like Ronnie Loves Music, and we’re already counting the days until we’re back at it in 2026.

From all of us at Après Ski Bands, thank you to the entire team at Le Rond Point, the incredible artists, our tech crew, and every single person who came and made this one for the books.

Ronnie Loves Music. We love Ronnie. And we love you. See you in 2026.
