Counting nearly 3 billion music streams to his name, GRAMMY-Award nominated music producer Steve Aoki will be bringing his icon-status set to the Snow Machine arena. Described by Billboard as “One of the most in-demand entertainers in the world”, Aoki has performed and headlined almost every distinguished festival. Globally recognised for his ultra-high energy shows and signature cult-listening tracks, Aoki has collaborated with an impressive list of acclaimed artists including BTS, Maluma, Linkin Park, blink-182, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Uzi Vert, 2 Chainz and Daddy Yankee. Steve’s chart-topping releases have seen him earn 3x Platinum singles, 6x Gold singles and over ten Top 10 radio records that continue to define the sound of dancefloors all across the world.

Renowned UK Drum & Bass pioneer Sub Focus will be delivering a hype-worthy set of his trailblazing mixes. From headlining major festivals around the world to multiple chart-topping smash hits, Sub Focus’ innovative approach to electronica is unmatched. His remixing catalogue has seen him work with names like Calvin Harris, Rusko, Empire of the Sun and D.O.D along with collaborations with Wilkinson, Rudimental and Chase & Status. Revered for his bass-worthy tracks like “Tidal Wave” featuring Alpines, “Rock It” and “Turn Back Time”, Sub Focus will have Snow Machiners in total euphoria.

Also joining the star-studded line up is globally acclaimed French DJ and producer Dimitri From Paris. Renowned for his spin on disco-infused house, his signature tracks like “Sacrebleu“ and “Une Very Stylish Fille” along with iconic remixes “Travelling Without Moving” with Jamiroquai and “Nothing Really Matters” with Madonna are world-wide festival favourites.

Whether you spend the day carving up fresh pow, immersing yourself in local culture, or catching sets at one of the spectacular mountain stages, Snow Machine has something to feed your arctic appetite. Wander down to the main arena after an on-mountain après session and catch your favourite acts along with a stacked lineup of side events and surprises. As the sun goes down, watch as the main arena transforms the ski village into the festival venue of your dreams. Hosting the best of the best in electronic music from around the globe, Snow Machine is where unforgettable memories are made.

With the first release officially SOLD OUT, don’t miss your chance to secure your tickets with our second release. New packages and accommodation are extremely limited, so get in early and secure your spot by signing up for presale here.

Immerse yourself in the Culture –
The rich tapestry of Japan’s culture is enchanting – the history, the traditions, the food, the harmony between nature and human existence. When it’s time to hang up the skis, you can immerse yourself in the Japanese way of life from a soak in the therapeutic onsen baths, to observing the snow monkeys, to indulging in yakitori delights and smooth sake, the essence of Japanese artisanal craftsmanship. 

Parties and Events –
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Snow Machine without an abundance of side parties and events to supercharge your week-long adventure. More details are on the way, but expect a mix of happenings across Hakuba Valley’s mountain resorts, the village, and beyond!
