Friday, June 13 sees music ignite across all stages, beginning at noon. The Echo Stage opens with the energy of Brass Queens (12-1 PM), followed by bluegrass trailblazers Mountain Grass Unit (2-3 PM), the genre-blurring soundscapes of Dirtwire (4-5 PM), and a powerhouse closing set from Eggy (6:30-8 PM). On the Mountain Stage, Friday’s highlights include the frenetic grooves of Squeaky Feet (1-2 PM), the psychedelic jams of Supersonic Shorties (3-4 PM), a soulful takeover by Lettuce (5-6:30 PM), and a two-set headlining performance from festival favorites The String Cheese Incident (8-11 PM).

Saturday, June 14 keeps the momentum soaring with the Echo Stage hosting indie-funk outfit Sneezy (12-1 PM), Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country (2-3 PM), the jazz/funk-fusion mastery of Soulive (4-5 PM), and a high energy close from Cory Wong (6:30-8 PM). The Mountain Stage delivers back-to-back highlights, including bass phenom Karina Rykman (1-2 PM), Montana-bred bluegrass innovators Kitchen Dwellers (3-4 PM), the raucous energy of Andy Frasco and the U.N. (5-6:30 PM), and a climactic closing double set from jam legends moe. (8-11 PM).

Sunday, June 15 closes the weekend with a flourish. The Echo Stage starts with a Dead+Phish-esque set by Holly Bowling (12-1 PM),  hot on the scene LaMP (2-3 PM), raw & primal soundscape of  lespecial (4-5 PM), and a euphoric jamtronica send-off from Lotus (6:30-8 PM). Meanwhile, the Mountain Stage wraps the festival with rising stars Tand (1-2 PM), fans favorite Neighbor (3-4 PM), Grateful Dead-inspired Terrapin Family Band + Guests (5-6:30 PM), and a high-octane finale from progressive jam titans Umphrey’s McGee (8-11 PM).
