Inside the Final Tao Park City Pop-Up
For more than two decades, Tao Park City has popped up during the Sundance Film Festival—welcoming industry insiders and celebrities looking to celebrate their premieres late into the night. A festival fixture that has inspired many an ode as Sundance leaves Park City, Tao’s festive mix of free liquor (from sponsors including Casamigos, Hendricks, Hennessy, and Whispering Angel) and marquee performing artists caused annual anticipation, stratification of VIP entry lines, and kismet connections on the elevated dance platform. This year, Benson Boone joined an elite roster of performers—which has included Jennifer Lopez, Lil Jon, Sofi Tukker, 50 Cent, and many more. Kiernan Shipka, Maude Apatow, Nicholas Braun, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Nina Dobrev were among the 2026 revelers. Tao has committed to joining the Sundance Film Festival in Boulder, Colorado, next year, too.
