2026 GoPro Mountain Games Mountains of Music lineup announced

The Vail Valley Foundation has revealed the full lineup for the 2026 Mountains of Music concert series as part of the GoPro Mountain Games in Vail June 4–7. The series includes three nights of ticketed evening concerts at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater along with more than a dozen free daytime music sets across two stages in Vail Village and Golden Peak. These shows will complement the competitions and nonstop activities throughout Vail, creating a soundtrack that runs through every moment of the four-day festival.

“Music is woven into the DNA of the GoPro Mountain Games, turning the event into a true day-to-night celebration of athletes, art, music, and mountain culture,” said Dave Dressman, Event Director for the GoPro Mountain Games and Vice President of the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. “When we put together the Mountains of Music lineup, we look for artists who embody a spirit of adventure and community. We want someone who has never been to the Mountain Games to see one of these shows and instantly understand what the event is about. This year’s lineup delivers just that, and it offers something for many different kinds of music fans.”
