Sportz and Beatz enters its fifth round as the "Summer Edition

The previous spring festival "Sportz und Beatz" will become a summer event this year. The popular lifestyle festival in Thusis will take place from August 13 to 15 on stage and trail.

From a bike tour for early risers to DJ sounds in the late evening: Sportz und Beatz offers a firework display of activities that will delight a broad target group. Sporting activities, laid-back sound, culinary surprises and a colorful children's program blend into a unique atmosphere for three days at the festival site on Schützenweg in Thusis.

"Sportz" stands above all for a wide range of mountain bike activities. The program includes guided tours with shuttle service and e-bike tours as well as equipment tests and guided early bird tours. The "Beatz" will also get the pulse racing: with legendary live acts and an unmistakable line-up of regional sounds and internationally sought-after stars.

Samora and Marc Sway - live in Thusis

On Friday, August 13, Nils Burri and DJ Pippo Cantina will heat up the atmosphere. On Saturday, stars such as Samora, Marc Sway and DJ ZsuZsu will be performing alongside Audio Tribe and the AC/DChicks. On Sunday, Kindaloveit and Make Plain will be playing, as well as Bruno Hächler with a children's program from 1 p.m.

Because innovation is also a tradition here, the organizers also focus on another sport every year. "This time, Andy Moncur Brady, known in the scene as Moncur, will introduce us to his lifestyle as a skater and street artist," reveals OC member Johannes Nidecker. A skate demonstration on the miniramp and a painting act promise exciting insights.

Top event at the Viamala bike spot

After the 2020 festival was cancelled due to the pandemic, the organization team is highly motivated to make the fifth edition of the event a top event for the Viamala bike spot once again. With visitor numbers increasing every year, Sportz und Beatz has become an important flagship event in the international biking scene, which usually opens the alpine biking season in April. The fact that this year's event was able to become a "Summer Edition" is primarily due to the great perseverance of the organizers.

Presales for Marc Sway's concerts have begun. The full program including locations, packages and bike shuttles can be viewed at sportzundbeatz.ch.
