HILL AIR FORCE BASE—In an effort to prioritize resources for critical, ongoing operations, Hill AFB had made the decision to postpone the 2026 Warriors Over the Wasatch Air Show until June 19-20, 2027. The popular event is held every two years and was set for June 27-28, 2026.

"This was not the outcome any of us hoped for,” said Col. Dan Cornelius, 75th Air Base Wing commander. “We know this news is a great disappointment to the community partners, performers, and thousands of supporters who make this event a success. We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience, and it became evident that with current constraints, we could not guarantee the quality and scale that defines the Warriors Over the Wasatch show and that our community deserves.”

With a focus on supporting Airmen and their families, base leadership wants to ensure all mission objectives are met and postponing the show was the responsible course of action, a base release said.

“The unwavering support from our Utah community is invaluable, and we are profoundly grateful,” he said. “Our commitment to this event remains, and we have turned our focus toward bringing the air show back on June 19-20, 2027.” 

“While disappointing to have to postpone the Warriors Over the Wasatch Air Show, The Utah Air Show Foundation is 100 percent here to support Hill AFB and their mission which will always come first,” said Kevin Ireland, Utah Air Show Foundation executive director.  “We will continue to work on presenting the best air show possible as a partner to Hill AFB and look forward to our next opportunity in 2027.”
