NOCK BEATS ALL YOU CAN BEAT in Bad Kleinkirchheim

Book a holiday

TIME for skiing, DJs, snowy vibes & winter beats

The stage is set in the village square. Or in a mountain restaurant, just a gondola ride away. DJs instead of brass bands, crisp winter air instead of a club – Nock Beats brings live electronic music to an unexpected setting: Bad Kleinkirchheim, with events taking place both in the valley and up on the mountain.

Eight dates, one winter, one experience.

From 5 December until Easter Monday, 29 March, DJs will be taking to the decks at venues across Bad Kleinkirchheim. The stages include the Nock IN panoramic restaurant at 1,900 metres, the village square, Gasthof Sportalm in St. Oswald and “Zum Sepp” at the Kaiserburgbahn valley station. Soluna Events and ReadyforHouse bring house and electronic music to Bad Kleinkirchheim. The line-up includes Destro, Avlex, Duo Kussi, JayP, Lost Taste and Tony Biano.

No skis needed to enjoy Nock Beats. The village square and several other venues can be reached on foot or by mountain lift – perfect after a relaxing day at the thermal spa or for an afternoon outing. Admission is free and no registration is required. The current Biosphärenparkbahn Brunnach fares apply for the ascent and descent to Nock IN.

One winter day, two ways to enjoy it: ski slopes or thermal spas – followed by beats at 1,900 metres or on the village square.
