Sausage & Cider Festival 2025 at Lodge du Village and La Terrasse du Village absolutely blew the roof off Méribel Village. Three days of sunshine, music, cider-fuelled dancing, and packed terraces reminded us all why this is one of the most anticipated events of the winter calendar.
Après Ski Bands were proud to be right at the heart of it all — programming the artists, managing the technical production, handling the logistics, and working hand-in-hand with the incredible teams at LDV and La Terrasse to pull it all together.
Day 1 — Absolute Scenes from the Start
We kicked things off in style — blue skies, happy crowds, and a Silent Disco that will go down in history (ok it may have snowed a little, but it did not stop the party!) . Over 200 headphones flew out in record time as Subsessions took on Rio & Rhymes in an unforgettable musical showdown — were you on Channel A or B?
Upstairs at LDV, the night took a more refined turn with Chef James serving a spectacular 6-course dinner, followed by Marcus Brigstocke’s comedy set that had the whole room in stitches. An award-winning cheese platter closed out the night in perfect style.
A dream start to the festival.
Day 2 — Sunshine & Serious Tunes
Day 2 brought more blue skies (despite the forecast!), and the fantastic Paddy James got the crowd singing from the very first chord.
Next up, The Scribes turned heads with their beatboxing brilliance before The Wingmen stormed the main stage with a huge headline set that had the whole terrace moving.
Meanwhile, Rio & Rhymes lit up LDV for their Extended Après set, turning the venue into a full UV party — the energy was unreal.
Day 3 — Going Out With a Bang
As the weekend drew to a close, we saved some of the best for last.
Widebeam Sound System kicked off the day with 4 hours of DJs down on the lower terrasse, setting the vibe perfectly before Rio & Rhymes returned — joined by an all-star line-up of guests: Matt Pearce on sax, Elliot on guitar, Georga on vocals, and John on bars.
DJ Danz brought the energy levels through the roof before Gabby Gunn closed out the terrace party with a storming set.
And the night wasn’t done yet…
Revolverlites absolutely packed out LDV for a one-in, one-out show that will go down in Méribel party history — before DJ Kaya kept the dancefloor bouncing late into the night.
A Festival Powered by Partnerships
Sausage & Cider Festival 2025 wasn’t just about the music — it was about collaboration. Après Ski Bands worked closely with Lodge du Village and La Terrasse du Village on every aspect of this event — from booking the artists to running the tech, sound, and logistics.
We also want to give a huge shout out to our festival partners — OOSC Clothing and Sapaudia Brewery — for their support and for bringing the good times all weekend long.
Until Next Year…
To all our incredible artists, to the teams at LDV and La Terrasse, and most importantly to you — the crowd who showed up, sang, danced, drank cider, and celebrated the best of mountain culture with us — thank you.
Sausage & Cider Festival 2025 was one for the books.
See you on the dancefloor next year.
