Heading back to Snowbombing for his second stint behind the decks is superstar of sound and screen, the irrepressible Mr. Idris Elba who proved to be a smash at last year’s festival.

With many, many more acts and attractions just added to the bill and still more to be announced 2016 is shaping up to be the greatest Snowbombing of all time!

Nestled in a breath-taking alpine setting with snow-capped vistas to die for, Snowbombing which this year takes place between 4–9 April 2016, 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 and atmospheric medieval barns not to mention the plethora of bars, clubs, dives and speakeasys. Last year saw the reintroduction of the legendary Bruck N Stadl, a traditional Austrian wooden ‘haus’ equipped with an enormous Funktion-One sound-system that in its time has hosted the very cream of the house and techno scene.

In celebration of the SB16 launch, the now legendary annual Snowbombing Party Series has also kicked off its tour of the UK and Europe’s most esteemed nightspots. Each weekend a city will come alive with a Snowbombing club show featuring some of the biggest names in the music industry including Basement Jaxx, 2 ManyDJs, Jackmaster and more.
