PAT BURGENER
is a professional snowboarder and musician from Switzerland.
Gifted with an extraordinary talent on snow since his childhood, he joined the Swiss national team at the age of 14. His ambition had opened the doors to the top flight and catapulted him into the top 3 on many occasions.
However, fate spares no man, and like many top-level athletes Pat got injured. After a snowboarding injury in 2014, Pat used the time off the snow to work on his second passion, music. He teamed up with his brother Max and a childhood friend to create his own band.
Meeting a great success with his first singles, Pat played at world-class venues like the Montreux Jazz Festival, Sion Sous les Etoiles or the Gürten Festival.
His come back on snow has been full of high notes including two podiums at the World Championships in 2017 and 2019 and an amazing 5th place at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. ‘Music has been helping me to find my inner balance, which is the key when it comes to become a better version of yourself in any fields’ Pat says.
Since 2014, Pat released 4 EPs totalling more than 12 million streams on Spotify.

+ support from 3 Upload Bands:
FANTA is playing r&b and focuses on rich lyrics and storytelling. Born in Bolzano, he has performed at well know Italian festivals - Castrocaro Festival and Sanremo Giovanissimi and is part of SUPERMARKET collective.
Maitea (Elisa Maitea Olaizola Elosua), is an Italian-Basque singer-songwriter born in Cles (Trento) in 1994. She blends acoustic and pop folk sounds with indie rock influences and electronic elements, resulting in a mixture of melancholic and dreamy atmospheres, at times lively, light and carefree.
Goalkeepers Are Different are born under the grey coastal skies of northeast England, singer-songwriter and DIY pop auteur Michael Docherty now calls Innsbruck home. A new city incubated a new musical project: Goalkeepers Are Different, named for a favorite childhood book and an embrace of being an outsider, an eccentric, a little weird.
Michael formerly led the BBC Introducing award-winning bands Dear Landlord and Sonny Liston, and has gigged across the UK, US, and Europe, thrilling audiences with delicate fingerstyle guitar playing, soulful vocal power, and sophisticated songcraft. Whether in spine-tingling solo acoustic performances or recordings like the recent EP Late Gloomer, the Goalkeepers Are Different sound is a remarkable alchemy: unashamed pop hooks and big choruses meet lyrics of melancholy yearning. The introspection and imagery of folk/Americana troubadours meets the sugar rush of classic pop. Goalkeepers Are Different exists in a parallel universe where Bob Dylan wrote lyrics for the Ronettes.
