Both acts are making their way to Mayrhofen’s famous underground warehouse venue – Racket Club for high energy shows sure to put the venue’s high class production through its paces and be among the week’s highlights.
After the runaway success of his Channel 4 talk show, London rapper Big Narstie makes a return to Mayrhofen on a promise to further showcase his unparalleled vocal stylings over an eclectic blend of bass heavy beats – providing partygoers with a show like no other. Rounding off the headliners, Elder Island are on hand to provide their signature indie infused electronica to the baying après ski crew.
