As the ski resorts settle for their long off-season nap and the last echoes of après-ski parties fade into springtime memories, you might think things would slow down at Après Ski Bands. But not even close! While winter might be waving goodbye, we’re already looking ahead – because summer is just around the corner, and we’ve got one thing on our minds: incredible live music.
We’re buzzing to announce that some of our most dynamic, energetic, and crowd-pleasing artists are hitting the road this summer. From vibrant brass bands to soulful soloists and everything in between, these artists are ready to light up your festivals, fill your beer gardens, and turn your private parties into something unforgettable.
Whether you’re programming a summer series for your venue, organising a wedding or corporate event, or curating the line-up for a sun-drenched festival, these acts bring the same world-class energy and professionalism you know from the Alps – and they’re ready to bring it to you.
