Skiing and boarding by day and California sounds by night as snow and sand come together with the unmistakeable sound of The Beach Boys against the glorious backdrop of the Silvretta range of mountains in the Alps. Following their reunion in 2012, the band has launched a new brand of rock, but the anticipated crowd of 20,000 can look forward to some old favourites like Fun, Fun, Fun, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, I Get Around, Good Vibrations and Surfin’ USA.

The concert will be on Saturday 28 November at 6pm in Ischgl’s town arena – and entry is free with a valid liftpass. Day passes will be available for Euro 65 and for those staying in Ischgl, and therefore receiving a guest card, there will be two-day passes for Euro 90.50 and three-day passes for Euro 118.

The Beach Boys join Ischgl’s vast Hall Of Fame for season opening and closing concerts, joining Robbie Williams, James Blunt, Lionel Richie, Deep Purple, Elton John, Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry.

The announcement follows the disappointment of Supertramp cancelling their European tour, including Ischgl, due to the cancer treatment of band member Rick Davies – and Ischgl’s concert organisers send their good wishes to him for a successful outcome.

Ischgl’s winter season opens two days before the concert – on Thursday 26 November – and continues right through until the beginning of May 2016.  In addition to 238 kms of perfectly groomed piste and 45 skilifts, the town will unveil the new Euro 33m traffic concept which has been under construction for two years.

The ‘Parking Lounge’ car park has 600 spaces, a pedestrian tunnel and bus terminal and will be a boon for both drivers and pedestrians in the town.
