The event will feature state-of-the-art production, performances from multiple artists, exclusive merchandise, and a winter party to remember. Experts Only will give attendees the opportunity to spend the weekend in the breathtaking Town of Vail, to ski and ride, and to celebrate all that the mountains have to offer.
John Summit’s desire for artistic freedom led him to launch his own record label brand, Experts Only. The label’s ethos of “music without limits” reflects John’s refusal to be pigeonholed and his willingness to experiment with a variety of sounds and styles. Through Experts Only, John is set to throw one-of-a-kind events in unique locations worldwide creating a community of like-minded artists and fans, united by their love of boundary-pushing dance music and unforgettable live event experiences.
Chicago native John Summit’s rise to prominence is a testament to the power of hard work and creative passion — but what truly sets him apart is his infectious energy and boundless enthusiasm. Whether he’s playing a sold-out festival or an intimate club, John Summit is always the life of the party, bringing his signature brand of high-octane spirit to every set.
With over 500 million global streams on Spotify alone, John has garnered a massive following of 7 million+ monthly listeners and a dedicated fanbase. And yet, behind the larger-than-life persona lies a relatable, down-to-earth artist who once worked as a CPA by day and taught YouTube music production tutorials by night. This duality is reflected in his music, which manages to be both accessible yet complex.

The quaint Bavarian villages bustle with hotels, restaurants, retail and many outdoor activities.

There are shuttles available for purchase from both airports that take you directly to Vail.
