Burton US Open announces Vail concert series, addition of Shakedown Bar for late-night
The 36th annual Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships announce the massive Burton Concert Series lineup featuring six days of non-stop entertainment in Vail.
This year’s roster of live bands and DJs includes Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, BORNS, Dean Ween & Friends, Monophonics and more. The Burton Concert Series will run from Monday, March 5, through Saturday, March 10, in the heart of Colorado’s Vail Village following each day’s snowboard competition.
This year’s roster includes 19 unique artists including world-class reggae, jam bands, funk and indie, plus award-winning DJs and classic American rock. This year’s program also includes a brand new venue — in addition to the all-ages outdoor Solaris Concert Stage, performers will also take the stage at Shakedown Bar. The new venue allows for an expanded lineup with additional apres and late night set times.
Live music at the Solaris Concert Stage and the closing party at Dobson Ice Arena continue to be free and open to the public. Tickets for the Shakedown Bar performances will be available for purchase in advance of the show through its website and at the door.
