Fire in the Mountains has unleashed its second wave of artists for the 2026 edition, taking place July 23–26 at the breathtaking Red Eagle Campground in East Glacier, Montana — a place where riffs, ritual, and mountain wind all hit with equal force. Tickets are already on sale.
This latest announcement brings a slate of heavy, atmospheric, and boundary-pushing names to the festival’s already stacked lineup:
Baroness, The Ruins of Beverast (U.S. exclusive), Sumerlands, Pulitzer-winning Diné composer Raven Chacon, Denver’s genre-shredding Dreadnought, and Fargo death metal phantoms Phobophilic.
They join an already monumental roster featuring the headline reunion of ‘Denver Sound’ legends 16 Horsepower, plus Enslaved, Borknagar (U.S. exclusive), YOB, Gallowbraid (U.S. live debut), Sigh, Wayfarer, Midwife, and more.
As always, FITM’s curation is intentional — performances designed specifically for the land, the culture, and the spiritual weight of Red Eagle. This isn’t just another festival; it’s a convergence of music, ecology, and ceremony set at the foot of the mountains the Blackfeet call “The Backbone of the World.”

About FITM
Fire in the Mountains remains one of the most unique and meaningful heavy-music gatherings in the world — an alcohol-free, wilderness-rooted event deeply connected to the land of the Blackfeet Nation. The festival is committed to raising awareness and providing support for suicide prevention across Indigenous communities, transforming its platform into a force for cultural healing and collective action.
Through heavy music, immersive art, Indigenous-led education, and the overwhelming presence of the northern Rockies, FITM aims to ignite something internal — a reconnection to nature, self, community, and purpose.
It’s no surprise the festival has become internationally recognized as one of the most original and powerful experiences in heavy music today.
