Chris Lake, GRiZ, and Knock2 Lead Tahoe Live’s Mountain Takeover December 11–13

Tahoe Live takes place December 11–13, 2026, at Palisades Tahoe in Olympic Valley, California. You can visit here for tickets and more information. 


Ski all day, catch your favorite artists at night, and skip the stress of choosing between overlapping sets. Tahoe Live returns to Palisades, bringing three days of music to the mountains of Olympic Valley, California.

Now in its fifth year, the festival has revealed its daily lineups, with Chris Lake, GRiZ, and Knock2 each leading a different night. Single-day tickets go on sale Thursday, November 5, at 10 a.m. PT.

While last year’s edition leaned heavily into bass music, Tahoe Live is opening things up for 2026. This year’s programming gives each day its own direction, moving from house and club sounds on Friday to bass and funk on Saturday, before Knock2 closes things out with a Sunday lineup inspired by the creative circle surrounding Niteharts.

And it all happens on one stage, with no set conflicts. Pick your spot, settle in, and catch every artist on the lineup.

Friday: Chris Lake Brings House Music to the Mountain

Chris Lake kicks off the weekend, leading a full day built around house music. Joining him are Walker & Royce, Noizu, Devault, NALA, and Zaddy B, bringing a range of house and club sounds.

Saturday: GRiZ, TEDDY PAIN, and a Heavy Dose of Bass

Saturday belongs to GRiZ, whose mix of bass, funk, soul, and live saxophone should feel right at home against the mountain backdrop. The appearance marks his first solo headlining return to Northern California since his November 2025 shows at the Cow Palace.

Also on the bill is T-Pain’s TEDDY PAIN DJ set. With a growing focus on dubstep and bass, it adds another reason to get there early before GRiZ takes over. YDG, Mary Droppinz, HERSHE, Khoda León, and DJ Unni round out Saturday’s lineup.

Sunday: Knock2 Brings Some Niteharts Energy to Tahoe

Knock2 closes the weekend with a lineup built alongside his camp, bringing some of the sounds and familiar faces associated with Niteharts, the festival he co-founded with ISOxo, to the mountains. Madeon and Control Freak, who both appeared at Niteharts 2026, join Daniel Allan, WINK x Nikko, Klo, and BUNS for the final day. Expect a mix of melodic electronic music, trap, bass house, and high-energy club sounds. 

From the Slopes to the Stage

Beyond the lineup, the setting is a big part of the draw. Tahoe Live takes place at 6,200 feet, steps from the ski lifts at Palisades Tahoe, with lodging, restaurants, and après-ski spots throughout The Village. Spend the day skiing or snowboarding, then head down for a night of music, lights, and lasers surrounded by the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Following three sold-out days in 2025, Tahoe Live is returning with a broader mix of music and plenty of reasons to make a full weekend of it.
