‘We’re so, so proud of our line up for 2025 though. We’ve got so many utterly brilliant new faces on the line up,some of whom I’ve been trying to get for years. 

‘We’re beyond excited to witness them all experiencing the magic of the Tirolean Alps and the festival’s unique atmosphere for the first time. And we can’t wait for Altitude audiences to discover new favourite acts too.

Festival co-founders Andrew Maxwell and Marcus Brigstocke will also be there alongside Rufus Hound, Rainer Hersch, Mark Nelson, Kai Humphries, Karl Spain, Henry Rowley, Dan Tiernan, Amy Matthews, Jules O’Brian, Adam Flood, Diederik Zuurmond.  the Original Silent Disco and the International Impro All-Stars with Steve Frost, Steve Steen & Sally Hodgkiss.
