Art on Ice celebrates 30 years - with Jess Glynne and James Bay
To mark the 30th anniversary of the major Swiss show event Art on Ice, two British superstars will return to the Swiss stage in 2026: James Bay and Jess Glynne.
When Art on Ice glides across the ice for the 30th time in February and March 2026, the music will be of a particularly high caliber: James Bay and Jess Glynne, two of the most successful British artists of their generation, will take to the stage. Bay, known for hits such as Hold Back The River and Let It Go, has achieved over a billion streams and has won BRIT and ECHO awards. His blend of emotional intensity and musical precision perfectly matches the magical setting of the show.
Jess Glynne, on the other hand, is a record holder: she has had seven number 1 hits in the British charts - more than any other female solo artist. Songs such as "I'll Be There", "Hold My Hand" and "Don't Be So Hard on Yourself" made her famous worldwide. Producer Oliver Höner is delighted: "For the 30th anniversary, we wanted voices that combine character and a global career. James Bay and Jess Glynne bring both - and more."
m&k employee Christoph Soltmannowski had a lengthy podcast interview with James Bay almost a year ago:
The anniversary will also be a summit meeting of the world's elite in sporting terms: World and European champions such as Ilia Malinin ("Quad-God"), Madison Chock & Evan Bates, Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps and Minerva Fabienne Hase & Nikita Volodin will shine on the ice. From a Swiss perspective, European champion Lukas Britschgi and Kimmy Repond will represent the host country.
In addition to Zurich (February 26 - March 1 in the Hallenstadion), Art on Ice 2026 will also be held in Fribourg (March 3 - 4) and Davos (March 6 - 7). Tickets and VIP packages are available now at www.artonice.com or www.ticketcorner.ch.
