The creative team behind Europe’s biggest and best snow and music festival – Snowbombing - has announced the launch of a brand new ‘sister’ festival: Transition.
Taking place 13-19 December 2015, Transition will be taking over the stunning snow-capped resort of Avoriaz in the French Alps with an avalanche of incredible dance acts and artists from the four corners of the globe.
The confirmed bill is already world-class. Headed by the Mercury winning grime-meister himself - Dizzee Rascal - the stellar line-up features straight-up legends from across the dance pantheon including genre-transcending garage duo Bondax, Canadian DJ, producer and remixer B-Traits, electro hip-hop maestro Krafty Kuts, drum & bass hero Wilkinson and DJ Mag’s Best Breakthrough Producer Ben Pearce to name but a few so it’s safe to say that the hills will come alive to the sound of some very, very serious beats.
Brought to you by the daddy of all snow fests – Snowbombing – revelers can also expect to enjoy some ‘bombing favourites like the Artic Disco Igloo, Rompa’s Reggae Shack, and the Ride & Seek competition. And it ain’t ‘snow’ party without the now legendary Pool Parties of which Transition will be holding two.
Transition will also be starting some of its very own iconic events, including Europe’s largest alpine meal featuring 2000 people. Armed with fire-torches, festival goers will take a skiing descent into a beautiful nearby valley to dine under the stars. Throughout the week there will be a momentous mountain BBQ (or barbiflette!) at the incredible natural snow playground, the Burton Stash Boardpark and to top it off one huge 2000 player organized snowball fight!
Add to the mix a mind-blowing combination of eight bespoke clubs, daily mountain-top raves, forest-lit outdoor stages, intimate gigs, igloo disco battles and unique pop-up parties, not to mention some of the best skiing in France, Transition is the best early Christmas present you could ever dream of giving yourself.
Transition is specifically designed for the young at heart and comes with a price tag that will delight those on a budget. Prices start at a mere £99 for 6 nights’ accommodation and wristband rising to £349 for the full package that includes return coach travel from the UK, accommodation, wristband and 6-day lift pass. Transition also features 100% ski-in, ski-out accommodation for pure convenience and the guarantee that not a minute of precious skiing or boarding time is wasted.
So saddle-up for Transition - the snow ride of a lifetime. Incredible acts, outrageous events, stunning scenery and friends made for life. It’s the chance to be part of something very special from the very beginning.
