Tahoe Live returns with three-day expansion
OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. – Tahoe Live returns to Palisades Tahoe this December 12–14 with its largest and most ambitious edition to date. Now expanding to three days, the 2025 festival will bring world-class electronic music to one of North America’s most iconic winter destinations.
As the only electronic music festival in the U.S. held on the grounds of a ski resort, Tahoe Live offers a unique combination of music, snow, and scenic beauty, taking place at the base of Palisades Tahoe. The event continues to grow while maintaining its boutique, single-stage format, allowing fans to experience every performance without overlap.
This year’s lineup features a dynamic range of artists at the forefront of electronic music. Headliners include Grammy-nominated producer Porter Robinson, acclaimed Canadian duo Zeds Dead, multi-platinum artist Alison Wonderland, and DJ Diesel, the bass-driven project of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. Also featured is LSZEE, the collaborative project from LSDREAM and CloZee, alongside standout acts like San Holo, Jessica Audiffred, Peekaboo and more.
“As we continue to grow Tahoe Live, this year’s expansion to three days marks a turning point,” says Dustin Esson, founder of LIVE. “We’ve built something special here—where the rave community, dance fans, and winter sports culture all collide in one breathtaking location. Our goal has always been to deliver more than just a show; it’s about the whole experience. This year’s lineup is our biggest yet, with legends like Zeds Dead and Porter Robinson leading the way, plus DJ Diesel (Shaq) making a special appearance. Tahoe Live isn’t just a festival anymore; it’s become something people really look forward to and love each winter.”
