Rise Festival launches in the French Alps 

13th – 20th December 2014

Les 2 Alpes, France

Acts: Clean Bandit, Gorgon City, Jackmaster, Artwork, Hannah Wants, B-Traits + special live act TBA.

Welcome to Rise, the festival on top of the world taking place between 13th and 20th December 2014 in the picturesque French alpine resort of Les 2 Alpes. 

Brought to you by some of the biggest names in international party promotion, Ibiza Rocks, Wasteland Ski and Rough Hill have teamed up to take over the world famous resort and will turn it into the only place to be this winter: Skiing, live music, club night takeovers, colourful characters and even an outdoor pool party will all make for the most magical musical memories you could ever wish to have, and events will range from huge main stage affairs to much more warm and cosy, intimate back room gatherings. 

Situated over 3000 meters above sea level, Les Deux Alpes boasts Europe’s largest skiable glacier. It is a stunning resort with glistening white snow, crisp and clean alpine air and blue skies that will take your breath away, as well as 225 km of ski runs, south facing views, 50 hotels and hostels, bars, restaurants, swimming pools and cinemas. During festival week the atmospheres are sure to be fantastic and then there’s the Snow Globe Arena and the Ice Cube Stage, brought to you by Rise and making for a week to remember.

All the tickets come with the full Rise festival experience, which includes seven nights accommodation, a six day full ski pass, coach travel from the UK and of course a full festival pass to all the parties, games, fun and frolics: there may even be a secret party or two, but you’ll have to keep an eye on the Facebook page for those.

Musically it is to be a mouth watering affair UK house chart stompers Gorgon City, former dubstep pioneer turned bass music man and part of the Magnetic Man trio Artwork, DJ extraordinaire and Numbers associate Jackmaster, Birmingham DJ talent Hannah Wants plus Radio 1’s Canadian bass purveyor B-Traits.

As one of the stand out success stories of the year, Clean Bandit are on top of the world right now and they’ll literally be on top of the mountain when they headline the Ibiza Rocks Stage at the brand new RISE Festival, taking place between 13th and 20th December 2014 in the picturesque French alpine resort of Les 2 Alpes. 

A trio of Europe’s biggest music & party promoters are behind the newly launched RISE Festival. Ibiza Rocks, Wasteland Ski and Rough Hill have united to take over the famous resort of Les 2 Alpes for a week-long Winter affair that includes live music from cutting edge artists and DJs playing a series of indoor and outdoor venues.  From the huge Ibiza Rocks Stage in the centre of town to the Snow Globe Arena and Ice Cube Stage to a cool selection of more intimate, alpine hangouts, RISE has all the music must-haves sorted.  There’s club night takeovers from some of the UK’s leading club brands plus outdoor pool parties and of course skiing, boarding and guaranteed good times with good people on the same wavelength along the way. 

Headliners Clean Bandit scored their first No.1 with the release of the smash hit ‘Rather Be’ which stayed at the top spot for 4 consecutive weeks in January, just weeks after the Black Butter Records collective played live at Ibiza Rocks in the Snow in Meribel.  Stateside success, stratospheric record sales and headline tours may have followed but these newly bonafide music stars are getting back on the piste to headline the Ibiza Rocks Stage at Rise Festival on Monday 15th December.  

The brands who will be tripping out to this snowy party paradise include the best of the best such as Birmingham’s Seedy Sonics, Shorebitchfrom London, 90s Hip-Hop party starters Supa Dupa Fly, Apex from Bristol, Gold teeth from Manchester, Sheffield and London and nationwide nights like ItchyFeet, Propoganda and Cirque Du Soul. With these experts on hand every single party is sure to be perfectly thought out and, couple that with the breathtaking scenery and fun daytime activities and you have a real once in a lifetime festival just waiting for you to turn up!
