There’s a specific kind of magic that happens in Keystone during the summer. The air is crisp, the sun stays out late, and every Friday afternoon, River Run Village transforms into a mountain music venue! We are one month out from the first concert of the season and summer opening day at Keystone, happening on June 19, 2026.
The Keystone Concert Series is back for 2026, bringing free live music to the village every Friday from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Whether you’re fresh off the trails at the Keystone Bike Park, just arrived in Keystone to kickoff a festival weekend or just finished a round at the Ranch Golf Course, these shows are the perfect way to kick off your mountain weekend.
Grab your lawn chairs, find a spot on a sunny patio, and get ready for a summer of incredible tunes. Here is the full lineup for the 2026 season:
