Who Will Be King Of The Mountain At Snowbombing?

In March 2009 Gigwise will be hiking up a mountain in Austria to watch some bands, are we mad? Yes we are! You see we'll be at the tenth instalment of the now legendary Snowbombing festival in Mayrhofen enjoying plenty of  après-ski no doubt and if you're in a band we'll be giving you the chance to not only join us on the slopes but to play live at the festival too!

Gigwise has joined forces with the people at Snowbombing to sponsor the King of the Mountain competition which will see four bands plucked from hundreds, if not thousands, and as we've already intimated, given the chance to travel to Austria and play at the event on the side of a mountain – the question is, are you man enough?!

One band will then be selected from our four finalists to go on and support one of the major acts during the event.

For the uninitiated, Snowbombing hosts the largest music line-up on snow…in the world!! They transform a beautiful Austrian village into a seething, throbbing festival, comprising of 13 venues from huge indoor arenas, an igloo at the top of the mountain, an amazing wooden clearing to parties on the street.

We'll be announcing the full details of the competition over the coming weeks – it officially launches on January 4 – including how to enter, how it will run and what the full prize will encompass. Until then if you are in a band and want to enter please sign up to Gigwise as a band and create a profile.

You can do that by using this SIGNUP PAGE, its all very simple for those of you who are not too internet savvy.

Remember, keep checking Gigwise and the official Snowbombing site for more details!
