During the 2024-2025 winter season, Vail transformed into the world's premier high alpine music venue with performances on and off the slopes by Tiesto, John Summit, Eli & Fur, Goth Babe, J. Worra, and more. This summer, Vail is once again home to legendary alpine performances with Vail Summer Sessions, live concerts at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, Lionshead Live and more.
Vail Summer Sessions, June 27 – 29
This summer, Vail is turning up the volume with expanded on-mountain concerts at stunning venues like Eagle’s Nest Rooftop, where panoramic views meet unforgettable performances.
Kick off your weekend with Magoo and Blue Ox Boys on Friday night at Eagle’s Nest Rooftop. On Saturday, head to the Gondola One Yard for a laid-back afternoon featuring Evan Honer and Wood Belly. Then close it out on Sunday with BYRNE and Moonstone Quill, back at Eagle’s Nest Rooftop.
Throughout the weekend, both Vail Village and Lionshead base areas come alive with activations and experiences presented by Toyota, making it more than just a concert series, but a full mountain town celebration.
Even better? The 2025/26 Epic Pass includes free scenic gondola rides, giving you access to all the high-altitude music and views at no extra cost.
