A sight for sore eyes and ears: international stars performing in front of a jaw-dropping alpine backdrop. That’s «Zermatt Unplugged» Festival’s recipe for spoiling the senses. Get involved in our Community and win 1 × 2 tickets to see Boy George & Culture Club including one night at the Hotel Ambassador.

With the Matterhorn close enough to tough, Zermatt Unplugged is worth a visit just for the scenery. Now add a great soundtrack and a buzzing atmosphere and the world’s most photographed mountain becomes even more impressive. I was lucky enough to spend an amazing weekend there two years ago and am thrilled to give all you active Community members the chance to be part of the festival this year. Good luck!

What to expect

5 days, 90 concerts, 50 artists, 14 stages, 1 Matterhorn. An awe-inspiring mountain, springtime in the Alps and acoustic music played by national and international acts. This combination makes Zermatt Unplugged an unforgettable event – year after year. From 9 to 13 April, Zermatt Unplugged, Europe’s highest festival, will be hosting a line-up including Passenger, Boy George & Culture Club, Sophie Hunger, Johannes Oerding, Jacob Banks, Samy Deluxe and many more.
