This December 14–15, Tahoe Live returns to the legendary Palisades Tahoe for its third year, offering a winter festival experience that combines world-class music with the stunning beauty of the Sierra Nevada. A festival where sound meets snow, Tahoe Live promises an unforgettable weekend featuring headliners Lil Wayne, Diplo, Loud Luxury, and RL Grime, alongside an all-star lineup of artists. Set against the majestic Sierra Nevada backdrop, the festival combines music, adventure, and the thrill of winter sports for a truly unique experience.
This year, Tahoe Live makes history by featuring its first-ever hip-hop headliner, Lil Wayne, while staying true to its electronic music roots with globally renowned DJs and producers. With ticket sales already up 57% from last year, it’s clear that the festival’s appeal continues to grow among music fans and adventure seekers alike.
In addition to the headliners, the lineup includes a mix of electronic heavyweights, rising stars, and local talent, promising a diverse and energetic two-day event. The full list features Lil Wayne, a hip-hop icon with Grammy wins and hits like “Lollipop” and “A Milli,” who brings a new dimension to Tahoe Live. Diplo, a global electronic music powerhouse, will deliver a high-energy set blending global beats, house, and genre-defying productions. Loud Luxury, known for dance anthems like “Body,” brings infectious house-pop energy to every performance. RL Grime, a pioneer in trap and bass music, offers atmospheric and hard-hitting soundscapes that are a festival staple.
Supporting acts include Valentino Khan, renowned for his genre-spanning, high-octane sets that bring crowds to life; Bijou, a rising star in house music blending hip hop and deep house elements; Ookay, known for vibrant, versatile sets; Wenzday, a fresh voice in bass music blending house and dubstep; Anella, captivating audiences with her mix of deep house and melodic techno; Maddi Reese, bringing a vibrant mix of deep house, tech house, and progressive beats; and local talent UNI, a deep house duo, Oscar Perez, and an energetic back-to-back set featuring Zac Black and SKN BLK.
Palisades Tahoe, ranked as The Wall Street Journal’s “best ski resort in the U.S.,” provides the perfect natural amphitheater where music, snow, and adventure converge. From its pristine slopes to its breathtaking vistas, this venue offers an unparalleled setting for an unforgettable winter celebration. With the festival taking place just steps from the chair lifts, attendees can enjoy winter sports during the day and world-class music performances by night.
Tahoe Live has quickly established itself as a leader in the winter festival scene. After a sold-out event in 2023 with headliners REZZ and DJ Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal), the festival is taking a bold step forward in 2024 by incorporating hip-hop into its lineup. This evolution reflects the vision of LIVE, the team behind the festival, known for producing boutique events with global artists like Avicii, Post Malone, Calvin Harris, and Travis Scott.
Dustin Esson, founder of LIVE, explains the motivation behind this year’s lineup: “Our goal has always been to bring together different cultures—from the rave community and commercial dance fans to winter sports enthusiasts. Adding a legend like Lil Wayne has shattered boundaries, creating a unique fusion of hip-hop and electronic music in one of the most stunning venues in the world.”
Esson also shared that the energy of last year’s Ludacris performance during the 2023 FIS World Cup concert inspired this year’s expansion. That event became the most-attended in Tahoe’s history, second only to Jerry Garcia’s legendary 1980s show.
For those seeking an elevated experience, VIP ticket options enhance the festival with exclusive perks, including expedited entry, private bathrooms, dedicated lounges, VIP bars, and premium viewing areas near the stage. VIP passes are available to guests 18 and older.
Tahoe Live continues to earn accolades from fans and media alike, including Powder Magazine, which called it “The Biggest Party of the Year,” and Uproxx, which praised its “unforgettable two-night spectacle.”
