Classic Rock and Country Icons Set to Headline Park City’s “Concerts on the Slopes” 2026

Park City Performing Arts has officially pulled back the curtain on its 2026 summer lineup, transforming the base of Park City Mountain into one of the most scenic concert venues in the Mountain West. This year’s “Concerts on the Slopes” series will return to its signature home at the base of the Sunrise trail within the Canyons Village, bringing a heavy dose of nostalgia and classic hits to the high-altitude stage.

The 2026 season leans heavily into legendary acts, promising a summer of sing-alongs under the Utah stars. Headliners for the upcoming series include:

• UB40: The British reggae-pop icons will bring their "Red Red Wine" vibes to the mountain air.

• 38 Special: Southern rock staples ready to deliver a high-energy set of "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up in You."

• Rick Springfield: The Grammy-winning rocker is set to perform a career-spanning set, including the immortal "Jessie’s Girl."

• Lonestar: Adding a country flair to the lineup, the multi-platinum group will bring their signature harmonies to the Canyons stage.

A Venue with a Legendary Pedigree

While the "Concerts on the Slopes" branding is modern, the venue itself—nestled at the base of the Sunrise lift—is steeped in rock and roll history. Longtime locals remember the Canyons side of Park City as a destination for massive musical events.

In decades past, the resort’s natural amphitheater hosted legendary performances from the likes of The Grateful Dead, Heart, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. This rich musical heritage continues to influence the booking today, aiming to maintain the Canyons’ reputation as a premier stop for touring legends.

A Mountain Setting Like No Other

The "Concerts on the Slopes" venue is unique for its "ski-in, dance-out" layout. Located at the base of the Sunrise trail, the stage offers unobstructed views of the surrounding peaks, with the sunset providing a natural backdrop for the opening acts.

“There is a specific energy that comes with live music in the mountains,” said a spokesperson for Park City Performing Arts. “Following in the footsteps of acts like Skynyrd and The Dead, we wanted to curate a 2026 lineup that feels timeless. Whether you’re a fan of reggae, southern rock, or country, there’s a night this summer designed just for you.”

Tickets and Information

Tickets for the 2026 "Concerts on the Slopes" series are expected to go on sale to the general public in late April, with pre-sale access available for Park City Performing Arts members. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the village amenities, though the resort reminds guests that despite the inevitable shouts for "Free Bird" during the 38 Special set, the venue maintains a strict "no outside alcohol" policy.
