A Lineup That Reads Like a Festival Poster
The season opens with blues-rock heavyweights The Black Keys, setting the tone for a summer that blends legends, modern hitmakers, and cult favorites.
Hip-hop fans get a history-book night featuring GZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, The Pharcyde, and Mobb Deep— a rare, stacked bill by any standard.
Americana and roots lovers will find their people with The Dead South, Trampled by Turtles, Gregory Alan Isakov, Turnpike Troubadours, Paul Cauthen, and Jamestown Revival — all delivering big sound in a not-so-big venue.
Country fans can lock in nights with Jordan Davis, Dylan Gossett, and rising breakout Max McNown.
Pop and alt staples like Of Monsters and Men, Fitz and the Tantrums, and O.A.R. bring the sing-along energy, while genre-benders Parcels and Sofi Tukker turn the summit into a dance floor.
And yes, the party nights are very real: Shaggy, a reggae showcase with The Elovaters, Collie Buddz, and The Hip Abduction, plus a hip-hop throwdown featuring Too $hort, E-40, and Juvenile.
The Summit Experience Gets an Upgrade
2026 also marks the full debut of Snow King’s completed summit experience. Concertgoers can now pair live music with elevated dining at the Summit House and Aurora Restaurant, planetarium shows at the Snow King Observatory, and a scenic gondola ride that turns every show into a full-night adventure.
Snow King GM Ryan Stanley summed it up simply: no other venue blends this level of talent, scenery, and experience — and the genre-spanning lineup is designed to make sure everyone has at least one “can’t miss” night this summer.
What’s New for Guests in 2026
Responding to feedback, Snow King added eight new gondola cabins, boosting capacity by 25% and cutting down post-show wait times. Venue capacity remains capped at 2,500, keeping the series intimate despite the bigger acts.
A $20 gondola access fee will apply to non-season-pass holders during concerts. Full 2026–27 Snow King season pass holders (and their pass-holding family members) are exempt and get free gondola access when buying tickets, plus spring skiing, unlimited summer gondola rides, and next winter’s lift access.
Bottom line: if summer in Jackson Hole had a soundtrack, this is it, and it’s playing from the top of the mountain.
