Bryan Adams, Sting, and Simply Red Kick Off the Winter Season in Schladming-Dachstein

The Austrian tourism region of Schladming-Dachstein is kicking off this year's winter season with three international top acts, once again becoming THE event hotspot for up to 45,000 guests. Bryan Adams, Sting, and Simply Red are the global stars who will be amping up the finish area in Schladming's Planai Stadium, worthy successors, indeed, to last year’s show put on by Robbie Williams. None of the three have ever shared the stage, not even on consecutive days as will be the case in December.

Bryan Adams will open the concert series on Friday, December 6. He will perform both his popular hits and tracks from his new album, which was written during the pandemic. On Saturday, December 7, Sting will perform with his new band, showcasing some of his greatest hits. Mick Hucknall of Simply Red will be on tour and celebrating his 40th anniversary on stage. Fans will even be treated to a preview on December 8 in Schladming.

That said, for the very first time, three international superstars will launch the winter season in Schladming over three consecutive days. The Schladming-Dachstein tourism region, the Schladming 4-Mountain Ski Area – home to the Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen, and Reiteralm – and concert promoter Klaus Leutgeb will be raising the bar to a whole new level thanks to “Ski Opening - The Grand Festival.”

"With Bryan Adams, Sting, and Simply Red, we are welcoming three world stars to Schladming this year whose success stories span generations," says Mathias Schattleitner, Managing Director of the Schladming-Dachstein Tourist Office. "This long-term positioning at the very peak of their profession is only possible thanks to a constant focus on quality and delivering top performances. Which is the same standard we hold ourselves to, here in the Schladming-Dachstein Tourism Region, where, together with our strong partners, we will continue to focus on offering our guests high-quality experiences time and time again."
