You want to refresh your bike skills after the winter hibernation or learn new techniques? Say no more!

Because culinary enjoyment does not end on the trails of the most flowing nation in the Alps, once again this year we would like to present several culinary stalls offering varied delicacies. As part of the Bike Openings Sölden, both biking and pleasure fans can look forward to gastronomic highlights - local chefs create individual dishes by using regional products and preparing them sustainably.

DJ Philips
Musically, djPhilips is difficult to pin down into one genre. In the mash-up, indie, electronic music, but also hip-hop and other musical styles are woven together to form a tapestry of sound. The only important thing is the origin: from the underground, preferably new and on no playlist!

Mother's Cake
Founded in 2008, the Austrian psych-rock trio Mother's Cake moves in the genres of progressive rock, funk and hard rock. The band is currently touring across Europe with stops in Hungary, Switzerland, France and Holland before rocking the stage in Sölden!

MOUNT
The Austrian DJ and producer has quickly made a name for himself with his unique mix of electronic and pop sound for catchy beats. Since debuting in 2016, he has amassed millions of streams on the most popular music platforms.

Erwin & Edwin
Erwin meets Edwin, brass music meets electro. For 10 years now, the mission of the collective, which has always consisted of more than 2 people: to make people of all kinds dance and go crazy! After years of back and forth between English and German, the Austrian formation has now arrived at dialect. As once with the celebrated single NUDLSUPPN, they sing in their mother tongue again, quasi back to the roots, also as far as the energetic live shows are concerned. The anticipation of many sweaty moments is hard to contain! A lot will happen in 2023 - more concerts, more music, more ruckus. E&E stands for energy & ecstasy as ever!

DJ Fu (Wax Wreckaz)
DJ Fu always has the beats in his luggage and mixes the most diverse genres such as hip-hop, trap, drum & base like no other. With his DJ crew, the Wax Wreckaz from Innsbruck, he has been behind the turntables in clubs and at festivals all over Europe since 1999.
