We’re proud to help bring this event back and celebrate the season with our guests, our employees, and our community.”
“Seeing Vail’s après energy return in such a big way, especially with the success of Après at The Amp over the last three years, has been incredibly rewarding,” said Jeremy Gross, Special Events Manager for Discover Vail. “This series captures what makes Vail special: a vibrant community, unforgettable music, and a true connection to our mountain roots.”
Several hotels are offering lodging discounts for the festival weekend. Details will be available at grfavail.com as the event draws closer.
First Look at Renovated Venue
Après at The Amp will mark the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater’s first major event with new pavilion seating. The new seats are myrtle green, complementing the natural landscape surrounding the venue. They feature upholstered seat cushions and cup holders, and they are 100% fabricated and sourced in the United States.
The seating replacement is set to be complete by the end of March 2026 as part of Phase 1 of a comprehensive $19 million transformation project for The Amp. For more information on the project, visit empower.vvf.org.
