Every spring, the alpine resort town of Davos becomes an international venue because of the Cover festival, where the winter sports resort turns into a rich cultural, arts, and music venue. The Cover Festival Davos 2026 is once again combining the tribute bands, musicians, performers, and fans throughout Europe in a weekend of memorable live entertainment in the Swiss Alps from March 26, 2026, to March 29, 2026, on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The festival is known to have an atmosphere full of energy and creativity. The Cover Festival has become one of the main events of Davos outside the regular winter peak.
With the snowy mountain backgrounds and the cold spring atmosphere, Cover Festival 2026 is not merely about music; it is a complete alpine experience. The visitors spend their time skiing, having a meal in the mountain, apres-ski bars, wellness spas, and shopping in boutiques during the daytime and concerts and shows at night. Cover Festival has brought a new cultural twist to Swiss spring tourism, whether it is during a trip to a tribute band or an old-time fan seeking a fresh artistic perspective in the Alps.
Compared to big commercial music festivals, Cover Festival honors the legendary bands and iconic artists playing their tribute of high-quality concerts. Visitors will be able to listen to interpretations of the hits in rock, pop, funk, and soul- with sincerity and genuineness. Between Queen and ABBA, The Beatles and Pink Floyd, the list of bands is composed of classic tracks and an easy-going alpine atmosphere.
The contrast is in the location: Davos is not only a location, but it is also a part of the experience. The concerts are organized in hotels, lounges, mountain locations and in cultural areas that are scattered throughout the town to make it a sightseeing stop. Music, ski culture, food, apres-ski and mountain hospitality all combine to create an atmosphere that is hard to replicate in major cities.
Events of Cover Festival take place in various locations in Davos, including:
1. Concert halls & lounges
2. Hotels & resort spaces
3. Local clubs
4. Outdoor terraces (weather permitting)
5. Cultural institutions
This multi-venue model enables the visitor to create their own interaction in terms of the type of performances to attend, the kind of venue, and the timings of the shows. There are also some hotels that offer packages where they include concert entry, accommodation and access to leisure facilities.
Cover Festival is normally held in spring, when ski season is ending, but the weather in the mountains is still more than ideal for doing any outdoor activities. The Cover Festival 2026 edition in Davos is based on a similar seasonal model that will provide the visitors with the following opportunity:
✔ Ski or snowboard during the day
✔ Enjoy wellness & spas in the afternoon
