30 years of Art on Ice - and the anniversary edition is celebrating this with a line-up that already sounds like it will give you goosebumps.
Switzerland's most successful ice show is bringing both international superstars and a Swiss "best of" back to the stage in 2026. The audience can also expect a figure skating cast that is usually only seen at the World Championships or Olympic Games.
James Bay and Jess Glynne, two stars who have been shaping the international charts for years, have been signed up for the 2026 anniversary edition. Bay, known for songs such as "Hold Back The River", and Glynne, record holder with several number 1 hits in the UK, are set to expand the musical spectrum of the show. The program will be complemented by Noah Veraguth, Stress and Stefanie Heinzmann. They are among the Swiss acts selected for the anniversary show in a public vote and have already created defining moments at Art on Ice in previous years.
Art on Ice 2026 is also relying on top international performances in figure skating. Among others, the world champions in ice dancing Madison Chock and Evan Bates, two-time world champion Ilia Malinin and the pair skating duo Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps are expected. Other international medal winners are also part of the cast. European champion Lukas Britschgi and Kimmy Repond, who won bronze at the 2023 European Championships and is set to join the tour straight from the Olympic Games in Milan, will set the tone for Switzerland.
The Brazilian-American pop artist Romero Britto will set a special visual accent in 2026. His colorful, graphically clear works are among the best-known symbols of modern pop art worldwide. Britto develops exclusive designs and visual elements for Art on Ice, which are incorporated into the stage design and show aesthetics. This gives the anniversary edition an additional dimension not only in terms of music and sport, but also artistically.
The show, which began in 1996 as an unusual combination of figure skating and live music, has become a firm fixture in the Swiss entertainment calendar over the years. To mark its 30th anniversary, the organizers are announcing a new production that refers to the history of the format both musically and choreographically.
Art on Ice will be performing at the Hallenstadion Zurich from February 26 to March 1, 2026, followed by the BCF Arena Fribourg on March 3 and 4 and the Eisstadion Davos on March 6 and 7. Tickets and VIP packages are available at ticketcorner.ch.
