That was the 16th edition of Zermatt Unplugged – and it was wonderful.
5 days of festival magic, 130 concerts, 17 stages, 35'000 wowed visitors, 27'000 seconds of applause, 604 shining spotlights, 89 colorful pennant chains, 4'500 coffees in the festival office and 36 hours of sunshine – not to forget the 100 fantastic partners who made the whole thing possible.
We're taking heaps of lasting memories with us.
We leave the last words to our artists:
Amistat
«The people who come here just love music, it's that simple. They listen, they're quiet, united and open emotionally. It's a wonderful community that comes together in this place to listen to and to absorb music. That's what it's all about here. And you can feel it really strongly on stage – you get an unbelievable amount of love in return.»
Amy Mcdonald
«The gig was brilliant! The audience was lovely. I am so chuffed.»
Natalie Williams (Ronnie Scott's All Stars)
«There is no other festival like it, honestly. I tell the whole world about this festival and we just look forward to it every year so much because it's the best one.»
Matt Berninger
«You're in a fairytale land. It's breathtaking. You get to see a bunch of great music, and after the music, you get in a hot tub and get drunk.
So these acoustic things – it's much more naked than I'm used to. It's more exposed.
So I guess it's a little higher risk in a way, than a full band. But I like risky shows.»
JERUB
«Zermatt!! Had the best time with you guys. Three beautiful shows with the most beautiful scenery. Can't wait to be back in Switzerland.»
Jalen Ngonda
«You know, 5'000 to 10'000 feet in the air – at that point, it's quite hard to breathe, but the views are delightful and the people are lovely. Everyone's been very kind, very nice, very hospitable.»
MIKIS Takeover! Ensemble
«It's something really special to experience the abundance of music here. You don't need excessive mass and volume to touch people directly.»
HVCK FYNN
«Such a magnificent festival – full of super nice people and perfectly organized. It was marvelous! Thank you Zermatt Unplugged!»
Linda Elys
«Biggest smile on my face after those three days at Zermatt Unplugged.
It was a little dream come true!»
Nina Valotti
«It's difficult to put into words how happy it makes me to be part of the Mountain Academy at Zermatt Unplugged and to share my music with so many people.»
