Your guide to Mountain Jam 2018

Here's everything you need to know about Mountain Jam—upstate New York music festival—including artist highlights

Sure, Panorama Music Festival and Governors Ball promise a killer time, but the urban setting lacks that woodsy, rustic, middle-of-nowhere festival touch—that's where Mountain Jam comes in. Hosted at Hunter Mountain in the Catskills, this upstate New York summer music festival has grown far beyond its modest origins as a single-day event celebrating Woodstock Radio's 25th anniversary. The fest has expanded to a multi-stage three-day throwdown that plays host to a diverse roster of jam bands, alt rockers, country singer-songwriters and more. So break out the bug spray and tent poles, and head over to the festival website to grab tickets.
