When the snow covers the Gastein Valley in December and the mountains glisten in the glow of the lights, there's a special place where the music heats up: The premiere of GASTEIN SOUNDS will turn Bad Hofgastein into the stage for one of the most spectacular winter events in the country on December 12 and 13, 2025 - presented by Hitradio Ö3 and Kronen Zeitung. ARCADIA LIVE presents the new open-air highlight of the pre-Christmas season in cooperation with the Bad Hofgastein spa and tourism association and the Gastein cable cars.
The energetic kick-off is provided by Berlin hit guarantee SKI AGGU. With a laid-back flow, punchy punchlines and a Berlin attitude to life, he will get the first festival evening going. SDP, "the best-known unknown band in the world" will spread a long-lasting good mood and persistent catchy tunes. IKKIMEL, provocative, wild and fearless, will ensure a distinctive start to the GASTEIN SOUNDS weekend with their eccentric performance.
