Enslaved, Borknagar, Yob, and More Announced for Fire in the Mountains 2026
The first batch of bands committed to performing at nexxt year’s Fire In The Mountains has been announced and damn it if the list isn’t already a doozy. We’re talking about a set that includes some special occasions, like an exclusive U.S. performance by a well known Norwegian progressive black metal outfit and a live debut for a fledgling folksy progressive black metal project.
Set to take place from July 23 to 26, the Fire In The Mountains Festival will once again be nestled in the natural beauty that Red Eagle Campground in East Glacier, Montana provides. According to organizers, the following bands make up the first batch of announced acts for next year’s festival:
- Enslaved
- Borknagar (U.S. exclusive)
- Yob (presented by Firekeeper Alliance)
- Gallowbraid (U.S. live debut)
- Sigh
- Wayfarer
- Midwife
- Tarantella
- Galvanist
- Nocturne
Billed as an “immersive, open-air music and cultural event that merges heavy music with natural landscapes and Indigenous cultural experiences,” Fire In The Mountains works extensively to ensure the event adheres to the Blackfoot Nation’s values. As such, it should be noted that since the festival is taking place on Blackfeet Nation land, the festival is a completely dry event. That means no booze, drugs, or any other intoxicants, since organizers want the festival to focus on tackling the scourge of suicide, which plagues the indigenous population here in the U.S.
Be sure to check out the various packages on offer, because festival tickets, VIP, all camping types, BBQ, and parking packages are currently available and some may be more suited for you and your group than others.
So if spening a long weekend out in the wilderness, enjoying nature, and subjecting yourself to crushing metal mayhem sounds liek a great time, you’re gonna want to get your tickets right now and book your trip ahead of time.
