Fitz and the Tantrums, Matt Quinn, Eve 6 and DJ Ross One to play the Killington Cup
Killington Resort announced the entertainment lineup for the 2024 Stifel Killington Cup, Tuesday, Sept. 24. Taking place Nov. 29-Dec. 1, the eighth edition of the Audi FIS Ski World Cup will bring together the fastest female technical alpine skiers in the world with live concerts, movies, fireworks and more.
Killington will host four concerts throughout the weekend: Fitz and the Tantrums, Matt Quinn (from Mt. Joy), Eve 6, and DJ Ross One.
The entertainment kicks off on Friday with DJ Ross One, the athlete bib presentation and a stunning fireworks display. Ross One is considered one of the top open format DJ’s in the world. A staple on the Hollywood party circuit, DJ Ross One has toured with artists such as Kanye West and Rihanna. He has earned the reputation as the go to DJ for everything from Grammys after parties to Paris Fashion Week.
Between Giant Slalom runs on Saturday, Killington will welcome a truly unique solo, acoustic set with Matt Quinn, lead singer of the indie folk rock group Mt. Joy. After releasing three very successful studio albums, Mt. Joy returned in early 2024 with the poignant and deeply personal single “Highway Queen.” Matt Quinn’s set at Killington will follow Mt. Joy headlining a show at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 28 and sharing the main stage at Ocean’s Calling Music Festival with Dave Matthews Band.
After the races conclude on Saturday, multi-platinum artists Fitz and The Tantrums will perform. Fitz and The Tantrums is a band who have energized popular music and culture with a series of unshakable, undeniable and ubiquitous anthems and albums. Along the way, they’ve impressively tallied just shy of 4 billion streams and counting, powered by hits such as the 4x-platinum “Hand Clap,” 3x-platinum “Out of My League,” platinum “The Walker,” and gold “Moneygrabber.” The Los Angeles collective has magnified the scope of pop music with a dash of indie, a dose of soul and a whole lot of dancefloor-ready bounce.
Fitz and The Tantrums will perform at the Killington Cup after Saturday’s races.
Following the concert, the action moves to the Snowshed Lodge, where stand-out women from the ski industry and beyond will discuss the contributions of women in the industry on a panel as part of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s HERoic initiative. Immediately afterwards, stick around to catch an exclusive movie showing (to be announced). Also on Saturday, don’t miss the World Cup Rebels Après Ski party at the Pickle Barrel Nightclub, open to all ages from 4-7 p.m. benefiting the World Cup Dreams Foundation.
On Sunday, American punk-pop trio Eve 6 will take the stage mid-day following the first run of the ski race. For over two decades, Eve 6 has been a force in the alternative rock scene, captivating audiences with their infectious sound and compelling lyrics. With a discography that spans hit albums like “Eve 6” and “Horrorscope,” the band has left an indelible mark on the music landscape. Known for their dynamic performances and Max Collins’ distinctive vocals, Eve 6 continues to resonate with fans, delivering a high-energy experience that transcends the boundaries of alternative rock.
“Watching world-class skiing isn’t the only reason to attend the Stifel Killington Cup,” said Director of Brand Marketing and Events Amy Laramie. “I am really looking forward to this year’s lineup of music, with high-energy bands that will keep the party going all weekend long.”
