The 2016 edition of Mountain Jam will feature headlining performances from Beck, Wilco, The Avett Brothers, Gov’t Mule and Umphrey’s McGee as the festival confirmed its lineup today. Additional acts on the bill include Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Gary Clark Jr., Courtney Barnett, Chris Robinson Brotherhood and many others.
The festival begins with two headlining sets from Umphrey’s McGee on Thursday. On the headliners, festival founder Gary Chetkof said, “Beck is a musical genius who’s had an amazing twenty-plus year career and who’s had a creative resurgence with both his last album, Morning Phase (the 2015 Grammy Award’s Album Of The Year) and his highly anticipated thirteenth studio album which features the catchy, upbeat hit Dreams. The Avett Brothers – part of the Mountain Jam family and returning to the Festival for their fourth year – are releasing their ninth studio album this year and Umphrey’s McGee are at the peak of their career. This is truly one of the most musically diverse and creative Mountain Jam Festivals to date and we couldn’t be more excited.”
Mountain Jam will take place June 2-5 at Hunter Mountain ski resort in New York. Additional artists are expected to be added soon.
Tickets are on sale now via the festival’s website.
