The UK's first resort based snowsports festival has announced that their initial line-up will feature Basement Jaxx (DJ set), Craig Charles with his Funk and Soul Club, Blonde, Mike Skinner (DJ Set), The 2 Bears composed of Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) and Raf Rundell, Horse Meat Disco, Mark Mackenzie, Hunter and The Bear, Indigo Velvet, and Ho-Ro.

The final few acts for the Apres-ski element will be announced in the coming weeks along with the full line-up of entertainment taking place up the mountain throughout the weekend across 2 stages.

As well as regular snowsports, the event takes place over the same weekend as the Scottish Freestyle Championships, so expect to see some of the country's top riders grabbing some big air during the day.

Dougie Brown of Groove Cairngorm, said, "We are delighted to be bringing another incredible line-up of artists to our very own snowsports festival right here in the UK. After the huge success of our first outing last year we can’t wait to be partying up and down the mountain again next February!"
