King Concerts to feature Black Keys, Shaggy, more; gondola fee introduced

Jackson, Wyoming is gearing up for a robust summer concert season at Snow King Mountain. King Concerts has unveiled a lineup of 18 shows scheduled between June 8 and August 23, with the possibility of additional performances announced in the future.

A Diverse Summer Lineup

The 2026 concert series boasts a wide range of artists. Headlining acts include The Black Keys on June 8 and Of Monsters and Men on July 21. Hip-hop fans will have multiple opportunities, with a June 12 bill featuring GZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, the Pharcyde and Mobb Deep, as well as performances by Shaggy and Shwayze on June 30, and Too $hort, E-40 and Juvenile on August 20.

Additional Artists

Did You Know? King Concerts began in 2022 with performances by Duane Betts and has expanded its calendar each year since.

Changes to the Concert Experience

Concertgoers should anticipate adjustments to the gondola system at Snow King. Eight new cabins have been added, while show capacity will remain at 2,500, in an effort to reduce wait times. However, individuals without a Snow King Mountain 2026-2027 season pass will be required to pay a $20 “gondola access fee” in addition to their concert ticket.

Expert Insight: The addition of the gondola access fee suggests a strategic effort to manage transportation costs and potentially incentivize season pass purchases, while still accommodating a large concert attendance.

Snow King Mountain’s General Manager, Ryan Stanley, stated that the venue offers “a truly memorable arrival experience” and aims to provide “a summer of epic live music that has something for everyone.” Fifteen concerts were held on the mountain in 2025.

Tickets for all shows will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m.
