VVF announces full weekend Après at The Amp Festival schedule in Vail April 4-6

The Vail Valley Foundation recently issued the following press release announcing the full weekend schedule for its third annual Après at The Amp Festival in Vail April 4-6:

Today, the Vail Valley Foundation, in partnership with Vail Mountain, Discover Vail and AEG Presents, released the complete weekend schedule for the third annual Après at The Amp Festival April 4-6. This year’s Festival once again transforms Vail from the World’s Premier Alpine Skiing Destination into the World’s Premier Alpine Music Venue, promising to deliver a jam-packed three-day whirlwind weekend of world-class skiing and exceptional live entertainment.  

Building on the already-announced performances at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, the enhanced 2025 Festival features surprise DJ sets, après events in Vail, and late-night after-parties, creating a can’t miss spring celebration that extends far beyond the main stage. 

“We’ve evolved Après at The Amp into a true festival experience that showcases everything Vail has to offer during our spectacular spring season,” said Dave Dressman, vice president of the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater for the Vail Valley Foundation. “By partnering with venues on the mountain and in the village, we’re creating a weekend where visitors can seamlessly transition from incredible skiing to world-class live music throughout the day and night. This expanded format allows us to highlight Vail as not just a premier skiing destination, but as the Rocky Mountain’s leading venue for unforgettable entertainment experiences.” 

“We are thrilled to see Après at the Amp return bigger and better than ever this spring, following an incredible season of music on mountain and throughout town,” said Beth Howard, vice president and COO of Vail Mountain. “The après culture in Vail is unmatched, and this weekend full of music will be a vibrant celebration of the season.”
