Mountain Jam Festival Alive in’25 —June 20-22, 2025, at Belleayre Mountain, NY But it’s not just about the music. At Mountain Jam, the vibe is everything.
Welcome to Mountain Jam, the ultimate jam band experience where rock, folk, indie, roots, and Americana collide in a celebration of music, freedom, and connection. Founded in 2005 by Radio Woodstock to celebrate 25 years of independent and eclectic radio, Mountain Jam has grown into one of the premier music festivals in the Northeast. For 14 years, the festival transformed Hunter Mountain into a m
usical paradise, with unforgettable performances that stretched deep into the night. In 2019, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the historic 1969 Woodstock Festival, Mountain Jam made the iconic move to the Woodstock site, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, bringing the magic of jam bands even closer to rock history. The pandemic caused the cancellation of the Festival in 2020, and Mountain Jam is making its triumphant return in 2025, independently produced by the original Mountain Jam & Radio Woodstock team, this time to its new home at Belleayre Mountain. Back where it belongs, nestled in the heart of the Catskills, the festival is ready to bring its signature jam band magic back to the peaks and valleys. The festival has evolved, but its soul remains rooted in the improvisational spirit that started it all. Over the years with the strong support of Gov’t Mule’s legendary guitarist Warren Haynes, the festival has hosted a diverse and stellar lineup, including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Robert Plant, The Lumineers, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Keys, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Avett Brothers, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Beck, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Gov’t Mule, Levon Helm, Steve Miller, Steve Winwood, Peter Frampton, Wilco, and many more. Every year, Mountain Jam delivers a unique experience that celebrates spontaneous creativity, artist collaboration, and the free spirit of the jam band community. Fans immerse themselves in art, yoga, and outdoor activities, enjoying the laid-back, communal atmosphere that feels like home. From sunrise to sunset, the festival is a continuous journey of discovery, where every performance brings something fresh and unpredictable. Get ready for an unforgettable journey of music, community, and the undeniable magic of the mountains. Mountain Jam is back— ALIVE IN ’25!

RIP Bobby 🌹
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues.
For over sixty years, Bobby took to the road. A guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and founding member of the Grateful Dead. Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul, building a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans carry with them. Every chord he played, every word he sang was an integral part of the stories he wove. There was an invitation: to feel, to question, to wander, and to belong.
Bobby's final months reflected the same spirit that defined his life. Diagnosed in July, he began treatment only weeks before returning to his hometown stage for a three-night celebration of 60 years of music at Golden Gate Park. Those performances, emotional, soulful, and full of light, were not farewells, but gifts. Another act of resilience. An artist choosing, even then, to keep going by his own design. As we remember Bobby, it’s hard not to feel the echo of the way he lived. A man driftin’ and dreamin’, never worrying if the road would lead him home. A child of countless trees. A child of boundless seas.
There is no final curtain here, not really. Only the sense of someone setting off again. He often spoke of a three-hundred-year legacy, determined to ensure the songbook would endure long after him. May that dream live on through future generations of Dead Heads. And so we send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing. A reward for a life worth livin’.
His loving family, Natascha, Monet, and Chloe, request privacy during this difficult time and offer their gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and remembrance. May we honor him not only in sorrow, but in how bravely we continue with open hearts, steady steps, and the music leading us home. Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

This year's Mountain Jam returns to its jamband roots celebrating the musical legacy which started 50 years on this iconic site. We are thrilled to be reunited once again with Warren Haynes to celebrate with our family of bands and fans who have been the heart and soul of Mountain Jam from its inception.”
Warren Haynes, who co-presented Mountain Jam’s first 12 years, said "Having been there for the foundation and development of Mountain Jam including the curation of artists and music over the first 12 years and headlining with Gov’t Mule, Warren Haynes Band, The Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh & Friends and sitting in with countless others, I am pleased to be returning for the festival’s 15th anniversary. Mountain Jam is changing its home, but going back to its roots. And I am happy to say that myself and Gov’t Mule will be returning as well. See you in June.”
“We are thrilled to be hosting Mountain Jam at Bethel Woods during the golden anniversary year. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring music, community, and art to the historic site. Mountain Jam will be one of many exciting opportunities to visit us throughout all of 2019 and we are truly looking forward to providing diverse programming for our friends, supporters, and guests from near and far,” said Darlene Fedun, Chief Executive Officer, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
