30 Years Top of the Mountain Concerts

Ischgl celebrates a musical anniversary at 2,300 metres!

Music unites – and has done so for 30 years, even at dizzying heights. The legendary Top of the Mountain concerts in Ischgl will celebrate a spectacular anniversary in 2025, bringing fans and winter sports enthusiasts together in a festive spirit. Since 1994/95, megastars have enchanted audiences amidst the snow-covered mountains, getting the crowd dancing and transforming the Idalp with the Ischgl Stage and the heart of Ischgl into unique event venues. From Elton John’s first snowy performance to Robbie Williams in a snowstorm and Helene Fischer’s record-breaking audience – Ischgl has made music history. Join us as we celebrate this extraordinary chapter with a breathtaking programme!

The history of the Top of the Mountain concerts

A recipe for success with music and magic

THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA

DARING MEETS INNOVATION

What is now a staple of the international event calendar began as a bold experiment. In the winter of 1994/95, Ischgl set out to offer more than perfectly groomed slopes and breathtaking mountain scenery. The vision: a concert at over 2,000 metres, nestled within the snow-covered landscape of the Silvretta. The execution? Risky, as the technical demands, logistical challenges, and unpredictable weather posed significant hurdles. But the courage paid off.

Elton John, the first major star to perform, brought his unmistakable energy to the thin mountain air. His success laid the foundation for a new era: Ischgl became not only a hotspot for winter sports but also a destination for world-class music.

Over the years, more editions of the Top of the Mountain concerts were introduced. The Easter Concert, held annually on Easter Sunday, the Opening Concert, marking the start of the winter season every November, and the Spring Concert, which kicks off the Spring Blanc event series, were added to the roster.

THE MOUNTAIN BECOMES A STAGE

STARS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 30 YEARS

The list of artists who have performed reads like a who’s who of music history. International icons like Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Rihanna, and Bob Dylan have mesmerised audiences in the Silvretta Arena. One of the most memorable moments came in 2014 when Robbie Williams braved a heavy snowstorm and freezing temperatures to electrify fans with “Let Me Entertain You.”

Other standout performances include Katy Perry, Lenny Kravitz, and Deep Purple. Katy Perry made waves in 2009 when she donned a Santa Claus costume and kissed a girl from the front row – a moment that remains legendary to this day. Lenny Kravitz, famous for his connection with the audience, strolled through the crowd during his 2012 concert and signed off with the words: “Peace and good skiing.”

German acts like Helene Fischer, Die Söhne Mannheims, Sportfreunde Stiller, and more recently Nina Chuba, have proven that the mountain stage offers something for every musical taste. Helene Fischer set an unbroken record in 2018, drawing 26,000 visitors to the mountain.
