3 days – 1 main stage – 20+ locations – 40+ artists will be performing in Kitzbühel from March 28th to 30th, 2025 with free admission.

After the successful premiere in 2024, the new event format called Sound | Escape is entering its second edition. It is widely known that top-class DJs in the field of electronic music regularly play in Kitzbühel. With Sound | Escape, the individual initiatives of the individual companies on the mountain and in the valley are bundled in a festival concept. The centerpiece and thus the link between the locations is a large stage - the main stage - in the middle of the historic city center, in the courtyard of the district administration. Particular attention is paid to free entry to all locations.
The kick-off on Friday, March 28, 2025 starts with Sound | Escape in the afternoon with top-class acts on the mountain. It continues from 4 p.m. at the Kitzbühel Mainstage in the city center, after which bars and clubs will delight visitors with a perfectly coordinated line-up of international and local acts. The continuation follows on Saturday, March 29, 2025, when it goes from the peaks to the valley to the Kitzbühel Mainstage and then on to the businesses. The finale on Sunday, March 30, 2025 is a chilled out conclusion on the mountain.
Line-up & Venues
In total, electronic beats from over 40 DJs will be played at around 20 different locations on the mountain and in the valley over the 3 days of the event. Centrally located in the middle of the 750-year-old city center, the specially created main stage invites you to dance on Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. - food stands with snacks and drinks included. A special highlight is Sven Väth, an internationally known techno legend who is coming to Kitzbühel. As one of the most successful German DJs, he has shaped the scene for over 40 years, founded labels, clubs and careers - and still rocks the decks, with vinyl of course. In 2024, Sven Väth was awarded the BAMBI in the "Culture" category - his laudation was given by none other than world-star pianist Lang Lang.
