VAIL – Vail Mountain, the world’s premier alpine destination, is redefining winter travel with an extraordinary blend of sport, culture, and entertainment for the 2025/26 winter season. More than 50 live music events will span the mountain and the villages, featuring headline performances by GRAMMY-nominated duo Sofi Tukker (Dec. 13 at Ford Park) and EDM icon Dillon Francis (Jan. 9 at Chasing Rabbits). This season kicks off with Stoke Sessions (Nov. 14–Dec. 5), featuring Blu DeTiger, Pixie and the Partygrass Boys, The Runaway Groms, and American Authors in Vail Village, and Après at the Amp (April 10–11) rounds out a season of sound, snow, and celebration.
While more exciting main-stage acts will be announced soon, the mountain itself becomes a stage with pop-up events featuring spontaneous live music experiences found above 10,000 feet capturing what truly makes Vail Mountain ‘Like Nothing on Earth.’ These intimate and electric performances offer free, one-of-a-kind access to a limited few, where the only price of entry is being here and being in the know. Guests should follow @VailMtn on Instagram and Facebook for the latest pop-up concert announcements. Will John Summit be back on Vail’s peaks? You’ll have to follow the resort’s social accounts to find out.
“This season is all about creating unforgettable moments for our guests,” said Beth Howard, Vail Mountain’s Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “Whether it’s carving fresh corduroy, dancing to live music in the village or on the mountain, or relaxing with elevated après and dining, we’re delivering a winter experience that’s as seamless as it is spectacular.”
This season also introduces expanded après ski events, new signature dining experiences and upgraded ski and snowboard school technology, giving visitors a fully immersive winter experience.
