Worldwide Festival Leysin 2019

Leysin, Switzerland

Worldwide Festival: A Sensational Ski And Dance Music Festival In Switzerland

The Worldwide Festival is unlike any other winter event you’ve been to. Held in the beautiful resort town of Leysin in the Swiss Alps, part of what makes this festival so special is its intimate atmosphere. Less is more in this case, with just a few hundred incredible people partying on the slopes during the day in a stunning location framed by snow-capped peaks. And not just any peak – we’re talking about a world-famous destination for skiing. By night, there’ll be more clubbing. It’s a winter wonderland like no other – and what could possibly be better than sipping an ice cold beer after a day on the slopes with awesome people in a festival that’s got pulsating energy? This week-long party guarantees ample time for disco dancing, skiing on fresh powder, and relaxing in between.

Winter chill daytime vibes with music care of stellar DJs, crisp alpine air, adrenaline-pumping ski activities, and epic apres-ski parties make the legendary Worldwide Festival the ultimate destination event for mountain and music enthusiasts.

Renowned and up-and-coming international artists from various genres will be delivering the beats day and night, both in the slopes and at the many venues around town. When you need some help soothing those hangovers, head over to the Lavey baths, which boasts of having the warmest thermal waters in all of Switzerland.

Previous lineups have featured Optimo, Pangaea, Diggs Duke, Kuage, Julio Bashmore, and Mark de Clive-Lowe. For 2019, Gilles Peterson will be at the helm once again, accompanied by Ady Suleiman, Debruit, and Alex Barck among others.
