In the wake of the impactful and transformative 2026 edition of Fire in the Mountains, the festival has revealed the first wave of next year’s performers: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Nevermore, Russian Circles, Stormkeep, Invunche, Rwake and Buffalo Nichols. Tickets, including camping options, are on sale now by clicking here. The event is an immersive, open-air music and cultural festival that blends heavy music with breathtaking natural landscapes and Indigenous cultural experiences. In partnership with the Firekeeper Alliance, a 501 (c) (3) organization focused on suicide reduction and mental wellness serving community members within the Blackfeet Nation. FITM is dedicated to raising awareness of mental health wellness in Indian Country, in music and artistic communities, and beyond.

FITM’s goal is to establish a platform that brings catharsis to the forefront of public consciousness to create a community bound by music, guided by nature and gathering that leaves both people and place stronger. “While we are still processing the immense experience that was Fire In The Mountains 2026 at Red Eagle Campground, we are excited to peel back some of what we have been working on for 2027, which has revealed itself as the Year Of The Eagle. We have quite a special edition in the works for this coming year, featuring bands with a legendary command of soundscapes and artistry, to returning fast riffing metal legends, post metal icons, symphonic black metal rippers, musical purveyors of Chilean mythology, American sludge darkness, and blues laden storytelling. We already look forward to joining you once again at the Backbone of The World next Summer— and cannot WAIT to share what else we have in store,” said the festival’s organizers .
