Big Bands At the Caprices Festival

J2SkiNews posted Feb-2013



March marks the start of music festivals season in the Alps with several dozen events, at least, being organised over the next eight weeks.

You can catch Bryan Ferry in Zermatt, Deep Purple in Ischgl and Kasabian in Mayrhofen among many more.

However the Festival that seems to have lined up the most British big name acts this season is the Caprices Festival (www.caprices.ch) which is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style and runs from 8th – 16th March 2013.

Internationally renowned artists across all music genres take to the stage and perform to the ever-growing allegiance of festival fans and big names such as Björk, Portishead, Fatboy Slim and The Killers all feature on the line-up, alongside up and coming acts looking to make their name.

Crans Montana is located high above the Rhône valley on a south-facing plateau providing great views and has a reputation as one of the sunniest resorts in the Alps, which hopefully bodes well.

I won't have a word against Alvin - he saved me from death by jazz in Tignes!

I have been up that way in the summer, Crans/ Montana is a bit spread out
I stayed at Anzere where they have been talking for many years about joining up the lift system with Crans, the only isue that it is the south facing side of the valley so gets plenty on sun.

Mr Alice Cooper!

Instead, a truly legendary performer will replace the English duo at the top of the bill : Alice Cooper ! It will undoubtedly be a spectacular performance.
It is a sad fact of life that cancellations are just one of the imponderables that festivals have to deal with. This year, it's The Kills that have been forced to cancel their live performance on Thursday, 14 March for medical reasons. The Caprices Festival is honoured and delighted to announce that it has found a worthy replacement for the English group: Alice Cooper, the legendary king of hard rock, is sure to give a memorable concert. The pioneer of 'theatrical rock' will put on an extravagant and electrifying show on The Moon stage, a performance that is sure to go down in the history of the festival!


And here's a nice publicity vid to be going on with... sadly without a "bangin' soundtrack by Alice" but maybe next time
