Tahoe Live Returns in December With GRiZ, Knock2 and Chris Lake

Northern California electronic festival Tahoe Live returns to the Sierra Nevada mountains from Dec. 11 to 13 with a lineup led by festival favorite GRiZ, bass artist Knock2, house act Chris Lake, and T-Pain performing under his dance alter ego Teddy Pain.

Organizers are expanding the previously bass-focused event for 2026, adding Devault, Jackie Hollander, Khoda Leon, Nala, Walker & Royce, Madeon, and Mary Droppinz to the bill. Performances take place on a single stage. Complete lineup details and ticket sale notifications are available here.

Tahoe Live takes place near the Palisades Tahoe ski resort in Olympic Valley, California. The stage sits near the chair lifts, with lodging, dining, and Village amenities within walking distance.

“I think the last time I was in Tahoe we went to Woodward skatepark and I was trying to do flips into the foam pit,” GRiZ tells Billboard. “Unfortunately I didn’t become a professional skateboarder but we’re gonna be coming through with so much new music and more flips than a game of skate.”

Tahoe Live launched as a two-day event in 2022 and drew 15,000 attendees by 2024.

“We always believed Tahoe Live could become something really special, but to watch that happen so quickly over the first few years has been incredible,” event CEO and founder Dustin Esson tells Billboard. “It’s become the weekend our fans look forward to all year because there really isn’t anything else like it. You’re experiencing the only dance music festival on the grounds of a U.S. ski resort, and the entire weekend happens within that environment – you can ride the tram up to 9,000 feet, ski, come back down to the festival, hang with your friends in the village, hit the pubs at night, and wake up and do it all again the next day. It’s become much more than a festival. It’s a full winter destination experience, and that’s what makes Tahoe Live so special.”
