The Revivalists, Dillon Francis, Aluna, and Congress The Band to Perform at the 2026 Stifel Killington Cup Presented by Dunkin'
KILLINGTON, Vt. (October 20, 2026) – Vermont’s Killington Resort, the largest independently owned ski and snowboard destination in Eastern North America, announced the entertainment lineup for the 2026 Stifel Killington Cup presented by Dunkin'. The ninth edition of this event will take place over Thanksgiving weekend on November 27-29, 2026, featuring the fastest women's alpine skiers in the world along with live concerts, movie screenings, fireworks, and more. Tickets to the Stifel Killington Cup presented by Dunkin' are available at killington.com/killingtoncup.
Killington will host live musical performances on the Kona Big Wave Stage throughout the weekend from The Revivalists, Dillon Francis, Aluna, and Congress The Band.
Live entertainment will begin on Friday, November 27 with Congress The Band, along with the athlete bib draw and a fireworks display. Congress The Band is one of the Southeast’s most exciting emerging rock acts, bringing a new wave of rock music out of the Carolinas. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, the band has built a fast-growing reputation for turning every stage—a packed venue, a college town, or a full festival field—into an all-out rager. Their music pulls from indie rock, Americana, and classic Southern roots, creating an anthemic sound that resonates across generations.
Between runs of the giant slalom race on Saturday, Killington will welcome Aluna for a high-energy, live DJ set. Aluna originally got her start as one half of the beloved duo AlunaGeorge, achieving international renown with widespread acclaim, award nominations, major collaborations, and massive tours, but it wasn’t until later that she stepped truly into her power with her debut album Renaissance in 2020. Her track “Houseboy” with Timbaland and Will Sass hit #1 on the Billboard Dance Airplay charts this summer, while her track with DJ Snake called “You Know You Like It” has accumulated 709,961,939 streams so far!
After the races conclude on Saturday, critically acclaimed rock outfit The Revivalists will take the stage. For a long time, The Revivalists have been embraced as a good-times band, their swirl of indie rock, soul, folk, and even a dash of hip-hop serving a soundtrack to many summer nights. Their story, after all, has been one of youthful triumph, with a chance encounter between singer David Shaw and guitarist Zack Feinberg steadily leading to an octet that rose from the dingiest dives to the grandest American concert halls and amphitheaters. With PJ Howard and Andrew Campanelli, they are a two-drummer powerhouse anchored by bassist George Gekas and buoyed by horn man Rob Ingraham, keyboardist Michael Girardot, and pedal steel guitarist Ed Williams.
Following the concert, the action will move down to the Snowshed Lodge, where female leaders from across the winter sports industry will host a panel discussion centered around women in these industry spaces as part of U.S. Ski & Snowboard's HERoic initiative. Immediately afterwards, guests can stick around for an exclusive screening of Winter Elements, a story about the women of the ski industry and the essential roles they play in its overall success. Also on Saturday evening, don’t miss the Head World Cup Rebels Après Ski party at the Pickle Barrel Nightclub featuring Chadwick Stokes from DISPATCH and State Radio. This event is open to all ages from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. benefitting the World Cup Dreams Foundation.
On Sunday, Dillon Francis will headline and keep the crowd moving between runs of the slalom race. Dillon Francis has been making waves in dance music and beyond for more than a decade, bursting onto the scene in the early 2010s with a series of underground hits. He’s released a number of widely acclaimed full-length projects, including Money Sucks, Friends Rule in 2014, 2015’s This Mixtape Is Fire, 2018’s WUT WUT—a Spanish-language LP featuring some of the biggest names in Latin music, the 2019 mixtape Magic Is Real, 2021’s Happy Machine, and This Mixtape is Fire TOO in 2023. Known for spanning genres, Dillon has worked with some of the industry’s biggest names, including Major Lazer, T-Pain, Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and more.
"We look forward to welcoming all our amazing music acts during this weekend full of world-class ski racing," says Amy Laramie, VP of Marketing & Events at Killington Resort. "Along with this vibrant mix of rock performances and EDM DJ sets, we're excited to bring back Friday's showstopping fireworks show and athlete bib presentation, as well as Saturday's inspiring HERoic panel and movie screening."
