The very next weekend, Vail shifts the energy deeper and more club-forward with Devault, Gabss, Fallon, Odd Mob, SIDEPIECE, Aspens, Lil Beff, Natti — and Summit returning as the anchor.

Experts Only Until Now
Experts Only has grown fast — from a John Summit label into a full-on live brand with real gravity. The Vail Weekender earned its rep by nailing the formula: ski all day, rave all night, and pack the rooms with people who actually came for the music. Then the NYC Experts Only Festival pushed the scale even further, proving Summit can turn the concept into a massive destination event. With Whistler joining the calendar and Vail coming back for round three, 2026 feels like the next major jump in the Experts Only timeline.
What is Experts Only?
Experts Only is John Summit’s label and event brand focused on modern house and techno — the same world his biggest records and sets live in. What started as a label identity has expanded into curated parties, festival-scale takeovers, and now destination weekends like Vail and Whistler, where the lineup and the setting are just as much a part of the experience as the headliner.
