Caprices Festival 2026 Reveals Full Lineup for New Winter Location in Gstaad
After more than 23 editions in Switzerland’s Valais region, Caprices Festival is officially entering a new chapter. The iconic winter festival has revealed its full 2026 lineup alongside confirmation that its flagship edition will move to Eggli in Gstaad, taking place across two weekends from March 13–15 and March 20–22, 2026.
Perched high above the slopes, Eggli offers 360-degree panoramic views of the Swiss Alps and introduces a refined production setup that makes use of existing alpine infrastructure. The new site is designed to enhance sound quality, comfort, and continuity, while maintaining the natural setting that has defined Caprices for more than two decades.
Weekend One: March 13–15, 2026
Weekend One focuses on high-energy, forward-facing club programming. Newly announced artists include Adolpho & Franky, Arapu, Argenis Brito, Bes Art, D’Julz, Dejan, Evgheniia, Madnax b2b Olivia, Manda Moor b2b Sirus Hood, Mateo Dufour, Mathew Jonson (Live), Phil Hunger, Prospa, Sweely (Live), and TT.
The opening weekend is built for momentum-driven sets and late-night intensity, setting the pace for Caprices’ refreshed winter format.
Weekend Two: March 20–22, 2026
Weekend Two broadens the musical scope with a deeper journey through house, minimal, and underground sounds. Newly revealed additions include Alexander Skancke, Apoteoz b2b Flyuko, Charmeine, Chez Damier, Cora M, Damian Lazarus, Dandy Jack, DJ Reas, Doudou MD, Enzo Siragusa, Giorgio Maulini b2b Bas Ibellini, F.O.E Live (Guti, Madnax, Sarkis & Kanova), Fumiya Tanaka, Guti (Live), Laidlaw b2b Joe Rolét, Mita Gami, Morgan, Neo, Nicolas Duvoisin, and Pedram.
Weekend Two will also feature two curated stage hosts. Amsterdam-based Slapfunk brings its underground UKG-inflected sound to the Alps, while Zurich collective Grocerie joins the programme, reinforcing Caprices’ deep ties to Swiss club culture.
A New Alpine Home at Eggli
Eggli enables the development of three distinct glasshouse stages. The Peak Stage is designed for large-scale performances framed by sweeping alpine views, while the CNTRL Stage offers a more intimate environment suited for extended sets and special back-to-back performances. The Ridge Stage focuses on experimental sounds and immersive concepts.
Access to the site is streamlined via gondolas operating continuously from midday until 4AM, with a seven-minute ascent to the summit. Across all areas, Caprices continues its long-standing reputation for world-class sound and ambitious production standards.
Caprices has always been about the connection between nature, art and music,.. By moving to Gstaad, we remain faithful to this vision while taking the overall experience to an even higher level.
Maxime Léonard, Co-Founder and CEO of Caprices Festival
