In 2025, Valais is once again upside down: Open Air Gampel is calling and thousands are making the pilgrimage to the valley to experience new favorite moments between mountains and stages. The line-up is impressive - colorful, loud and very diverse. Anyone looking for energy boosts and catchy tunes for the coming winter will definitely find what they're looking for here.
The classics make a rendezvous: Die Fantastischen Vier come by and fuse nostalgia with fresh beats. Papa Roach bring nu-metal energy straight from California - mosh pits are pre-programmed. For all those who want something for the heart, Natasha Bedingfield will provide British pop flair. And of course, the absolute festival classic Blümchen for the 90s flashback is not to be missed.
German pop and rap acts dominate? Of course, after all, acts such as Kontra K, Gzuz, 01099, Finch and Paula Hartmann will be putting the pedal to the metal. The Gampel line-up reads like a Who's Who of the current scene - everything from chart hits to new sounds is included. Not to be forgotten: Switzerland is sending its own stars like Dodo, Joya Marleen, Pronto and Veronica Fusaro into the fray.
In addition to the headliners, newcomers such as Ness, Yu and Leila offer little festival treasures that may soon be at the top of the billboards. Plus Italian pop-rock from The Kolors, Australian hip-hop with the Hilltop Hoods and plenty of electronic beats.
What's really cool about Gampel is that established acts and newcomers naturally share the stage here. This not only ensures variety, but also keeps the atmosphere fresh and the ears curious. A mixture of established festival icons and hip scene acts. Nobody misses out here.
Gampel 2025 brings together everything that makes a good festival - musical variety, a real sense of community and the odd surprise. Whether you're going for the first time or are already an old Gampel hand, there's a good chance that you'll leave on Sunday evening with tired legs but a broad, satisfied grin.
