Gerry Friedle sold millions of records during his career. "Anton aus Tirol" made him a global star who became known far beyond our national borders. But Ötzi never forgot his roots. That is also the reason why he is taking to the stage as a DJ on his summit tour.

DJ Ötzi, alias Gerry Friedle, will be on the road until March 22 on his now cult summit tour (all dates at www.gipfeltour.at). Anton from Tyrol will be playing many party locations on and off the most popular slopes throughout the country.

Where Ötzi became a DJ again
It all kicked off on Tuesday in Hinterglemm. A guest of Salzburg's trendy host Toni Enn in his Goaßstall, who is a real fan: "The tour has been a fixed part of our winter calendar since the first year!" And he was not disappointed this time either.

Ötzi not only sang his hits and got the crowd going, but also DJed, just like in the early days of his career. "We're not celebrating under the motto 'Back to the Roots' for nothing!" the protagonist himself said before the start.

And this time, too, he kept his word. With a show lasting several hours. That whets the appetite for more: on January 29th, Ötzi will be making a stop in Tux Lanersbach, once again as a DJ.
