Over 30,000 visitors have traveled to Zermatt Unplugged over the past five days. According to the organizers, there were over 145 concerts on 17 stages in the Valais municipality.
The music styles at the acoustic festival were diverse: from singer-songwriting to pop, jazz, folk and DJ sounds. Michael Patrick Kelly, for example, played in front of a sold-out round tent with over 2,300 listeners, according to a press release issued on Sunday night. Birdy, James Arthur and Gregory Porter, among others, also presented specially arranged acoustic sets.
Just like the music, the weather varied. The festival took place in rain, snow and sunshine. Festival director Rolf Furrer was satisfied with the 15th edition: "This year's festival provided guests and musicians from all over the world with unique moments," he was quoted as saying in the press release.
The 16th edition of the acoustic festival is planned for April 8 to 12, 2025.
