JAY PEAK, Vt. (May 21, 2025) — Jay Peak Resort is turning up the volume on summer with the official launch of its 2025 Summer Music Series, bringing a high-energy lineup of live performances to the scenic Stateside Amphitheater and nearby venues from late June through August. Kicking things off in epic style, the season opens Saturday, June 21, with the fan-favorite Solstice Sessions—a one-day celebration that fuses the thrill of snow sports with the vibe of live music on Vermont’s first day of summer.
The Solstice Sessions feature a snow-covered terrain park built from snow preserved under hay and tarps since the winter season ended on May 11. Serviced by the resort’s Stateside carpet lift, the park will offer a limited number of lift-access tickets for guests looking to ski or ride alongside live performances at the amphitheater. This year’s musical lineup includes Round Trip Band as headliner, supported by a Battle of the Bands featuring regional artists. Jay Peak has pledged a $1500 donation to non-profit Montgomery Smiles to go towards their efforts toward building a community skate park. In addition, half of all concert ticket revenue will also be offered in support.
The list is long for the number of musical acts headed to the Northeast Kingdom this fall and include:
Hip-hop trio Digable Planets brings their jazz-infused sound to Jay Peak, with Vermont-based group E-Block opening. Advance tickets are $50; $60 day-of.

The event will feature live performances from Dead Sessions Lite and Rick Redington & Tuff Luv, alongside local vendors, tie-dyeing, and family-friendly activities. Admission is free.
