Vail Mountain Unveils 2025/26 Winter Music Lineup With Dillon Francis, SOFI TUKKER and More

From Après-ski experiences to late-night DJ sets, Vail is weaving live music into every corner of its winter season.

Vail Mountain is turning up the volume for its 2025/26 winter season with more than 50 live performances across slopes, plazas and late-night venues.

The Colorado resort has unveiled a robust calendar of events fusing après-ski culture with top-tier electronic acts. SOFI TUKKER will headline Ford Park on December 13th, followed by a January 9th performance from Dillon Francis at Chasing Rabbits, Vail’s subterranean nightlife hub. House music stars SIDEPIECE and Chris Lorenzo are also locked in for DJ sets on January 31st and February 6th, respectively.

The season begins with “Stoke Sessions” from November 14th to December 5th, featuring Blu DeTiger, Pixie and the Partygrass Boys and American Authors. It’ll close by virtue of “Après at the Amp” on April 10th and 11th, promising an open-air finale.

In between, the village fills out with live sets across the resort. “Après All Day” at Express Lift doubles its lineup from last year, with DJs spinning every weekend at the base of Gondola One. Starting February 14th, Solaris Plaza brings seven weeks of free Saturday sets with performances by TEED, Mindchatter, Vandelux and more. AM Radio, the daytime rave series known for its “Club Culture is Dead” ethos, returns February 21st with a free show outside followed by an afterparty inside Chasing Rabbits.

Vail is also teasing mountaintop pop-ups with free surprise concerts at 10,000 feet, which fans can only catch if they’re already on the mountain. Last season, John Summit played an unannounced set on the last day of his Experts Only weekend takeover, drawing a crowd fast and lighting up the ridgeline.
