August in Aspen has always been about sunlit trails, open skies, and an energy that buzzes just beneath the mountain calm. But this year, the vibe will shift upward—literally and sonically—with the return of Up in the Sky Festival 2025. Hosted at Buttermilk, this two-day music experience is quickly carving out its place on the calendar as one of the must-attend festivals in Aspen.
Whether you’re flying in for your favorite headliner or planning a last-minute road trip with friends, navigating this weekend isn’t just about snagging a ticket—it’s about knowing where to go, what to expect, and how to make the most of every note, view, and ride.
Up in the Sky Festival first launched in 2024 with an ambitious vision: create a high-elevation music gathering that fuses Aspen’s breathtaking mountain setting with a diverse and globally relevant soundscape. Unlike classical mainstays, this newcomer leans hard into electronic, pop, indie, and alt genres, designed for both dancing and deep listening.
Set against the iconic backdrop of Buttermilk Mountain—more often associated with X Games and ski slopes—the festival reimagines the space as a summer venue with wide skies, rolling grass, and a stage framed by peaks. With solid turnout and buzz from the first edition, 2025 is looking to level up in every way: production, artist curation, and the overall crowd experience.
This year’s lineup is built to draw serious attention, with artists who have headlined global tours and top streaming charts. Leading the bill are:
This is not just a concert in the mountains—it’s a curated soundscape planned for a Colorado crowd that appreciates both vibe and view.
