Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks Returns to Red Rocks on February 7, 2026. The only winter concert of its kind at Red Rocks. Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks returns Saturday, February 7, 2026, featuring an all-star high-hop lineup of BigXthaPlug, Smino, Mick Jenkins, and PawPaw Rod.

Known for pairing Colorado’s love of the outdoors with high-energy music, Winter on the Rocks has become a staple event for over a decade, bringing heat to the coldest night of the year with hip-hop and unmatched mountain vibes.

“For 14 years, we’ve taken one of the world’s most iconic venues and turned it into a winter playground of music, adventure, and community. Winter on the Rocks is where mountain spirit meets live sound, and every year, we’re reminded that the cold doesn’t stop the energy, it just makes it more memorable.” – Sam Warren, Founder of Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks

This year’s headliner, BigXthaPlug, is one of hip-hop’s fastest-rising voices. The Dallas rapper has dominated the scene with his platinum hits like “Texas” and “Mmhmm,” a chart-topping sophomore album (Take Care), and over 3 billion streams. Named XXL’s Best New Artist of 2025 and fresh off a 30-date sold-out tour, BigX is set to bring serious energy to the iconic amphitheatre.

Now in its 14th year, Winter on the Rocks continues to be a celebration of music, culture, and community, produced by AEG Presents Rocky Mountains and Icelantic Skis, which is also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Past performers have included legends like Ice Cube, Diplo, Sofi Tukker, Atmosphere, and Rick Ross. Tickets are on sale now at axs.com.
