Rise Festival announces phase 1 lineup for 10th edition of ‘party on top of the world’

Rise Festival has announced its phase 1 lineup as it prepares to celebrate its huge 10th anniversary as the ‘party on top of the world’. The world’s biggest independent ski festival has delivered a lineup drop that underlines its status. The first headline act for an unmissable set in the snow is Chase & Status making a welcome return to the Rise main stage. Also heading to Les 2 Alpes in France from 7th - 14th December, are Gorgon City, Hannah Laing, Sammy Virji, blk., Ewan McVicar, and Bou. Arielle Free (BBC Radio 1) lines up to celebrate 10 years of Rise with a one-off ‘Freeze Your Mind’ party, with more big performances incoming from Black Traffic, Badger, [IVY] and Issey Cross. With more exciting announcements to come, Rise is the ultimate way to round off the year – a high-octane mix of unrivaled skiing, quality music, and unforgettable parties.

Ticket options start at just £319 per person including a 6-day lift pass, available from www.rise-festival.com.

Rise Festival opens the Winter Ski Season every year and welcomes an up-for-it, global community of like-minded party people (over 48 countries in 2023). From skiing beginners to seasoned snowboarders, through to those just there for the music, parties, and views, this year will be the best yet as everyone gathers for 10 years of Rise and an adventure that brings the world’s best electronic music artists to a stunning, snow-covered village to play across three main stages (two outdoor), five indoor venues, and one transformed warehouse - the ultimate afterparty space.

Rise Festival guarantees hard-to-believe moments, like raving 3000m up a mountain, paragliding through the Alps, partying around the fire pits, relaxing in the spa, and more. Even the food is special at Rise with a wide range of delicious options on offer and some unforgettable experiences such as; Lunch In The Clouds - on the terrace of Michelin Guide restaurant Le Diable Au Coeur 2400m high with incredible mountain views; Summit Supper - taking the lift to the top of the mountain to enjoy a tempting dinner at Le Diable Au Coeur and spectacular twilight views; and Hommage Du Fromage - an unmissable mix of cheesy music and traditional French cheese. Guests can sing along as they enjoy moreish fondue or raclette with charcuterie and plenty of vino.

There’s nothing like enjoying a day of the best mountain skiing followed by a night of food, parties and fun, soundtracked by an array of world-beating DJ talent.

Chase & Status have had an incredible year, winning a BRIT Award for Producer of the Year, enjoyed two massive hits with ‘Disconnect’ and ‘Baddadan’, and reinvented themselves yet again with new album/mixtape ‘2 Ruff, Vol 1’. There is no better choice to lead the 10th-anniversary charge and get the Rise crowds jumping.

Gorgon City take to the Rise turntables after 2024 highs including a Las Vegas residency at LIV and closing out the Yuma Stage at Coachella. They’ll be saving their best bass-heavy house as they come full circle from playing the first ever Rise Festival to landing for the Rise 10th celebrations. Hannah Laing is back at Les 2 Alpes and ready to bang out the up-tempo grooves that have seen her hit massive crossover success this year. Anyone who saw Sammy Virji’s set at Rise last year will be booking a ticket ASAP as the fast-rising star returns again with his unique meld of house, garage, and bass. Irish star blk. also did the business last year and is back to step it up with his tough brand of techno.

Ewan McVicar is one of house music’s breakout stars of recent years, using his newfound profile to give back and build an underground scene in his home town of Ayr in Scotland. Now in demand all over the world, expect funked-up house that moves the dancefloor when he lands for his Rise debut. He’s joined on the lineup by Bou, fresh from huge success alongside headliners Chase & Status on hit single ‘Baddadan’. Arielle Free can always be relied upon to get theparty on top of the world’ started. The BBC Radio 1 star brings her ‘Free Your Mind’ party to Rise with a special high altitude ‘Freeze Your Mind’ show. Fast-paced techno comes from Black Traffic, while house and garage bangers arrive courtesy of Badger. Bristol’s rising star [IVY] skilfully mixes up the d&b breaks and pumped up 4/4 beats, and the beautiful voice from drum & bass smash hit ‘Bittersweet Goodbye’, Issey Cross rounds off an epic Phase 1 artist lineup.

With today’s announcement, Rise Festival has delivered a statement of intent. 10 Years of Rise will be an action-packed festival in the snow, backed by a cutting-edge soundtrack, set against the stunning backdrop of the Alps – a week-long experience they’ll be talking about for the next 10 years.
