Tahoe Live 2026 Lineup: GRiZ, Chris Lake, Knock2, and More

1 month ago 10

Tahoe Live is returning to the slopes of Palisades Tahoe with its biggest lineup to date, featuring GRiZ, Knock2, Chris Lake, T-Pain, Madeon, Noizu, YDG, and more.

Festivals in unique settings are always special, and that’s what’s helped define Tahoe Live since its debut in 2022. This multi-day experience is nestled at 6,200 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains at Palisades Tahoe, one of America’s most iconic ski mountains. But that’s not all that’s made the festival stand tall year after year, as its curated lineups have packed quite a punch along the way. Now, after a massive sold-out weekend in 2025, Tahoe Live is building on its legacy as it returns December 11-13 with another top-tier lineup that dropped today.

Sitting atop the massive lineup are three of the hottest names in the electronic music scene today. House music maestro Chris Lake, saxophone-wielding bass artist GRiZ, and maximalist phenom Knock2 are slated to headline Tahoe Live this year, and those artists are just the cherry on top of the stacked list.

The second line is just as enticing as the first, with dynamic acts like Madeon and YDG, house-fueled DJs Noizu and Walker & Royce, and a Teddy Pain set from T-Pain that’s sure to be the talk of the town. Add in a dose of Cole Knight, Control Freak, Nala, Mary Droppinz, Daniel Allan, Devault, and HerShe, and you have a solid experience that spans multiple styles while showcasing some of the scene’s most exciting emerging talent.

We really wanted this year’s lineup to reflect where Tahoe Live is going. Last year leaned heavily into bass, and this year we intentionally opened it up — house, bass, and high-energy electronic — while still keeping the single-stage format that makes Tahoe Live special.

What’s also great about Tahoe Live is its commitment to a fan-first, no set-time-conflicts format. You don’t have to sacrifice one artist for another, which cuts out decision fatigue and allows you to catch full sets as the artists intended. That communal atmosphere is central to the festival’s identity, and it’s a breath of fresh air in a scene where the opposite has become the norm.

Pair that format with the gorgeous setting, and you have a match made in festival heaven. Tahoe Live offers breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada peaks, with its grounds just steps from ski lifts, and lodging, dining, and après-ski available nearby in The Village. Attendees can spend the day skiing or snowboarding and then head down the mountain for music as the evening hours beckon. This isn’t your average experience; it’s a destination.

Those who want to stay close to the action can book a room at The Village. This lodging option is within walking distance of the festival grounds and offers multiple room types, from standard one-bedroom suites to those with gorgeous mountain views and more, making it perfect for your entire rave crew. Visit the Palisades Tahoe website to explore the options and book your stay using code TAHOELIVE.
