Event organizers shared the following:
“We are thrilled to round out our 2025 lineup with three final additions – our long-standing friends and allies in the cause in PANOPTICON – playing their iconic “Autumn Eternal” in full, forward thinking psychedelic metal collective INTER ARMA joining us for the first time – and last but not least the one-of-a-kind ethereal Diné doom artist LILITH.Not only are we honored to be joined by three more artists who are carving their own path in their respective corners of music, but we are thrilled to present what is now the complete live music programming for Fire In The Mountains 2025.
For our first year on the beautiful grounds of the Red Eagle Campground, it was important to us that we brought an array of artists that not only excite us – and we hope many of you who are looking to join us – but that we invite artists who care about what this festival is and has the potential to be.
This July, we will all experience something together, and there will be so much to remember. Not the least of that will be the high level performances of so many special artists that we are proud to partner with. We cannot wait to revel in every bit of it. We will see you in the mountains.”

04) Bayside Announces 25 Years of Bayside: The Errors Tour
Punk veterans Bayside are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a North American tour spanning three legs in 2025. The trek kicks off March 29 in Buffalo and concludes with a hometown show in Huntington on September 26. Supporting acts include Sincere Engineer (leg 1), Smoking Popes (leg 2), and The Sleeping (leg 3).
Each city will feature two nights with unique setlists, covering Bayside’s entire catalog. Night one will focus on Sirens and Condolences, Self-Titled, The Walking Wounded, and Shudder, while night two will highlight Killing Time, Cult, Vacancy, Interrobang, and their latest album, There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive. Tickets are available at this location.
Anthony Raneri comments:
“This tour means so much to us. It’s a celebration of our early years and more recent years, but also a kick off of the next 25 years. It’s a chance for us to go out and play all the favorites from every record that everyone loves but also give us enough time to get to deep cuts on all the records that we aren’t always able to.”
