Basement Jaxx headline Snowboxx 2017
Basement Jaxx, Wilkinson and Hannah Wants are set to headline the winter festival – Snowboxx – taking place from 18th – 25th March 2017, in the biggest ski area in Europe, Avoriaz, France.
Running for its fifth year, Snowboxx, the ultimate winter festival combines the best of both worlds with globally renowned artists that set the mountains alight and over 650km of pistes that cater for every level of skier and snowboarder. Snowboxx offers festival-goers an eclectic range of world class DJs, igloo parties, bottomless brunches and extreme snowball fights, set against the stunning mountain backdrop of the Morzine Valleys in the Alps.

Due to previous sell-out years, the festival has nearly doubled its capacity making it one of the biggest festivals on snow in Europe. The main stage is built beneath a backdrop of picturesque mountains and chalets covered in a sheet of white snow.
The main stage will see performances taking place across five days with Basement Jaxx, Hannah Wants and Wilkinson confirmed as the headliners. Supporting acts so far include High Contrast, TQD (Royal T, DJ Q, Flava D) and Bicep as well as Snowboxx residents Charlie Tee and Jack Swift.
The ‘Where’s Your Head At’ duo – Basement Jaxx - will be following a successful legacy at the festival, with previous acts including Mike Skinner, Stormzy and Sigma.
Rob Tominey, Co-Founder of Mainstage Travel says: “Snowboxx is making a big come-back in 2017, packing a bigger punch than we’ve ever seen before. We’re working with some of the biggest names in the electronic, drum & bass, pop and dance industries, and we’re delighted to have signed the likes of Basement Jaxx, Wilkinson and Hannah Wants.
