Up In The Sky has officially confirmed its return for 2026, locking in dates for its second-ever edition at the stunning Buttermilk Ski Resort in Aspen, Colorado. The boutique mountain festival will take place across 7th - 8th August, 2026, once again blending live music with alpine scenery. Following a strong debut year, the announcement signals continued momentum for one of North America’s most visually striking summer festivals.

The event first launched in 2025, marking the inaugural edition of Up In The Sky and immediately positioning itself as a premium destination experience. Last year’s lineup featured a diverse mix of global and emerging talent, including Rufus Du Sol, Kacey Musgraves, Glass Animals and SG Lewis performing live, alongside Suki Waterhouse, Glass Beams and Role Model. The debut edition helped establish the festival’s crossover appeal between alternative, electronic and pop audiences.

While the 2026 lineup is yet to be revealed, expectations are already building based on the calibre of artists booked in its first year. Organisers have confirmed that further announcements will follow, with the second edition expected to expand on the festival’s curated approach rather than dramatically scale up. The focus remains on high-quality performances, immersive surroundings and a carefully selected artist roster.

With dates now locked in, fans are encouraged to mark their calendars as planning begins for another summer escape in the Rockies. More details around artists, tickets and on-sale information are expected in the coming months as Up In The Sky prepares to build on its successful debut with a highly anticipated 2026 return.
