SnowpenAir 2012 - Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg

Big Gig At High Altitude



Bryan Adams and Kim Wilde are set to headline at ‘SnowpenAir 2012’ in Switzerland.

It will be the 15th staging of the event which takes place at Kleine Scheidegg above Grindelwald and Wengen in the country’s famously spectacular Jungfrau region on 31at March 2012.

Billed as ‘The highest-altitude open-air-concert on snow’ as it takes place 2061 metres above sea level with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks appearing almost close enough to touch in the backdrop, it will be the third time at the ‘venue’ for Canadian rock superstar Bryan Adams.

Brian Adams has twice electrified huge audiences before the stunning setting of the Jungfrau massif, in 2004 and 2007.

In an interview for the magazine Schweizer Illustrierte, the star said that he well remembers one of the best open-air concerts that he has ever played at, “It was on Kleine Scheidegg in Switzerland, in the heart of the mountains. Simply fantastic. Unforgettable!”

Also unforgettable are his international hits including Summer of ’69, Cuts Like a Knife and (Everything I Do) I Do It for You.

Kim Wilde will also be turning up the heat on Kleine Scheidegg with her famous hits such as Kids in America, You Keep Me Hangin’ On and Cambodia! Kim first hit the charts in 1980 and began her comeback in the summer of 2010 with her new album ‘Come Out and Play.’

One surprise success in mainland Europe was her duet with Nena of ’99 Red Balloons’ fame and their song, Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime.
