The 1980s chart toppers will play in the Swiss ski resort on Saturday 21^st January 2012.

The new festival will be taking place alongside the Klosters Snow Polo tournament that runs from 18th - 22nd January 2012.

It is described as a  boutique festival that will bring chic, contemporary and occasionally slightly crazy entertainment to the alpine village.

Duran Duran is the opening headline act. The band made a comeback recently and last year released its 13th studio record "All you need is now."

It is supported by the Swiss pop group Pegasus from Biel whose big breakthrough came when the band recently opened for Coldplay at the Stade de Suisse.

In 2010, Pegasus won a Swiss Music Award for Best National Newcomer and the band has just released its third album, 'HumanTechnology'.

This weekend the Swedish duo, Rozette, play at Ischgl.
