Mountain Jam Returning After 6 Year Hiatus

11-19-2024

(Radio Woodstock) After a six-year hiatus, Mountain Jam, the Northeast's premier rock and camping music festival, is back, scheduled to run from June 20-22, 2025. Celebrating its roots with a new twist, the festival moves to the picturesque Belleayre Mountain in Highmount, New York, just a short distance from its original home at Hunter Mountain. This year's event marks the first Mountain Jam since the COVID-19 pandemic led to its pause in 2020.

Mountain Jam 2025 promises three full days of live music on a single main stage set at the mountain's base, offering attendees an intimate, immersive experience with great sight lines in a natural amphitheater setting. Headliners Khruangbin and Mt. Joy will lead the weekend, with a third major headliner to be announced early next year. Fans can also look forward to performances by Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Trampled by Turtles, and festival favorite Michael Franti & Spearhead, along with Julien Baker & TORRES, moe., Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Dogs In A Pile, and others.

Tickets for Mountain Jam 2025 go on sale Friday, November 22, at 10 am ET. Fans can choose from a range of ticketing options, including general admission, camping, and VIP packages with or without hotel accommodations. Full details are available at MountainJamFestival.com.

Mountain Jam returns with independent production by its original creator, Gary Chetkof, and the award-winning team at Radio Woodstock, the legendary Woodstock, NY-based radio station that played a pivotal role in the festival's early years. Together, they produced the festival's first eight years, laying the foundation for Mountain Jam's transformation into one of the Northeast's most beloved rock festivals.

"Mountain Jam has continuously evolved over the past 20 years, growing from a small, one-day gathering to a multi-day celebration of music and community," said founder Gary Chetkof. "We're excited to return to a mountain setting, this time on a smaller mountain footprint to ensure a better, more intimate experience for fans."
