SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE

A spectacular performance is not only expected at the two concerts in December, the arrival of Robbie Williams via helicopter at the Reiteralm during the press conference was also impressive. The entertainer was flown in directly from Klagenfurt together with Governor Christopher Drexler and was welcomed by organizer Klaus Leutgeb, Schladming-Dachstein Managing Director Mathias Schattleitner and the managing directors of the Schladming 4-mountain ski area in front of a wonderful Dachstein backdrop. The main actors then took their places on the podium together with moderator Benny Hörtnagl. A top-class array of personalities, a spectacular setting, a thoroughly successful advance notice!

EXCITED FOR THE SHOW

During the press conference, where the concert was presented in a spectacular way, the musician once again emphasized how much he appreciates Austria and the Austrian audience and how much he looks forward to his concerts in Schladming. He obviously felt at home in the wonderful setting with a view of the Dachstein and had a relaxed conversation on the podium. When asked what the audience can expect on December 7th and 8th, he answered calmly and with a smile: "My job is to entertain you and I take that job very seriously - so that's what I will do at the 2 concerts in Schladming. And if I don't do that, I didn't do my job!”. He presented himself as a true entertainer who can now enjoy his shows and performances more than ever before.

Great work together

The fact that this sensation came about after a three-year break at the start of the 2023/24 season is thanks to the entire Schladming-Dachstein region and the 4-mountain ski area Schladming with the mountains Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm as a collective. In cooperation with Leutgeb Entertainment Group, a show will be held on December 7th and 8th that will not be forgotten in a hurry. During the Ski Opening, the Planai Stadium in Schladming is transformed into a spectacular concert arena with a breathtaking show and a stage that leaves nothing to be desired.
