(Highmount, NY – November 19, 2024) — 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 www.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.”

About Mountain Jam

Mountain Jam is a three-day, single-stage music festival produced by Chet-5 Festivals with support from Radio Woodstock, 100.1 WDST, New York’s renowned independent, eclectic radio station. Over the past two decades, Mountain Jam has welcomed some of the top names in live music, including legends like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Black Keys, Robert Plant, and The Allman Brothers Band. With its 2025 return, Mountain Jam continues its legacy of uniting music lovers at the heart of the scenic Catskill Mountains.

About Belleayre Mountain

Belleayre Mountain is located in Highmount within the Catskill Park of New York State. The mountain is rich in the history of skiing in America and has evolved into a premier all-season, family-friendly destination. Just 2.5 hours from New York City, the alpine resort offers 64 trails for all abilities, served by eight lifts — including Catskill Thunder Gondola, the only gondola in the Catskill Park — and modernized learning facilities across four lodges. Known for its efficient snowmaking capabilities, Belleayre has recently upgraded its snowmaking and lift technology, providing exceptional conditions throughout the winter season. These enhancements and year-round activities like scenic gondola rides, hiking, summer events, and beach activities have attracted drastically increased visitation in recent years, boosting economic impact for the surrounding region. Managed by the Olympic Regional Development Authority, Belleayre continues to set a standard in accessible, high-quality mountain experiences.
