Firekeeper Alliance

We were incredibly proud to host Pan-Amerikan Native Front on the Neumos stage this year. Their sound is a force of nature, and we’re stoked to experience it together at NWTF. This performance was a special one for us—we want to extend a massive thank you to the Firekeepers Alliance. This collaboration was fueled by shared respect and a lot of hard work, and we are deeply grateful for their partnership in making this a reality.

Fire in the Mountains is thrilled to reveal the 2026 official artwork created by our in-house artist/designer @gershgoroth ! We are not only excited about how it turned out, we are proud to have collaborated with our team, @firekeeperalliance , and tribal leaders of the Blackfeet community to bring our shared vision to life. Adam shared the following statement about the artwork and the vibe of 2026 — “I’ve been designing for Fire in the Mountains for 10 years, and during that time I’ve watched the festival grow through pure persistence and passion. Building something like this, deep in the mountains, takes a lot of grit, and I wanted the 2026 artwork to reflect that energy. In 2025, the bear came up over and over through stories, visions, and encounters, and was ultimately chosen as the spirit to carry Fire in the Mountains into 2026 — representing power, resilience, nurturing, and coexistence with nature. Gold, representing Fire in the Mountains, and blue, representing the Pikuni Blackfeet, were chosen as the primary colors for this year’s artwork to honor the alliance between these two groups. The Blackfeet teepees were added to the skyline because their striking presence was unforgettable. The teepees stood on either side of the stage with the mountains behind them, lit by the setting sun, and framed by FITM flags waving in the wind. Something truly special was taking place. I look forward to hearing what stories we bring back from the fire this year - see you in the mountains.” Join us, @firekeeperalliance , and #blackfeetnation for an unforgettable and legendary weekend at Red Eagle - July 23-26th.

We’re beyond excited to announce that we’ve got a new member on the board of directors at Firekeeper Alliance. Please welcome to the FKA/FITM family Andrew Heavy Runner! He’s an exceptional clinician and an even better human. Andrew shared some thoughts about this exciting development: “We are stronger together. No one should have to face the darkness alone. I’m eager to get to work with the Firekeeper Alliance to strengthen my community.” Congrats @andrew_heavyrunner . Honored to have you join us! Keep the fire burning 🔥

“NEUROSIS has returned, and we didn’t fully realize how deeply we missed their presence. We love this band because they’ve never asked us to hide from what hurts. Neurosis lives within the same belief that guides our work. The Firekeeper Alliance is an impassioned organization born in response to human suffering. We believe extreme music is a protective factor that supports our ability to cope. To all our friends and relatives who are struggling right now, and to everyone who has walked through the storm and come out the other side……and to everyone who has lost a loved one far too soon, we are with you. And we hope you join us this summer. Come rejoice in this beautiful catharsis with our Firekeeper/FITM community at the Backbone of the World this July and bear witness to the return of this legendary band.” -Charlie Speicher, Executive Director of Firekeeper Alliance Steve Von Till Says: “Being asked if Neurosis could help represent the mission of Firekeeper Alliance at Fire in the Mountains became a defining moment for us - a call that helped us rise and reclaim our life’s work. We had been slowly finding our way back to the music, but the path forward felt distant, clouded by life’s weight. This invitation gave us clarity. It reminded us that this was bigger than us. As Robert Hall of Firekeeper said to us, “In our culture, when you’re called upon, it’s your responsibility to answer.” We took that to heart. This call served as a fire in the distance, guiding us forward step by step. In chasing it, we found our way back; to the music, to the land, and toward healing. In many ways, this invitation gave us the path forward, and maybe even saved us.” Keep the fire burning 🔥 📸 @bobbycochranphoto

“I cannot think of a more appropriate environment for us to return to the stage. Last year’s Fire in the Mountains festival was the most profound music event I have ever been a part of. The weekend took on a healing, cathartic ceremonial nature that is difficult to put into words. Using emotionally heavy music to build community and collectively stare darkness in the eye is something we have always believed in, but using it to directly address the heartbreaking reality of suicide, grief, loss and trauma is taking it to another level.” ~ @stevevontill We invite you to join Fire in the Mountains, Firekeeper Alliance, Blackfeet Nation, and Neurosis as we celebrate the return of the band and the release of “An Undying Love For A Burning World” on the sacred lands of Red Eagle.

NEUROSIS completes the lineup for Fire in the Mountains 2026! FITM Curator, Shane McCarthy shared: “Along with returning folks who have embedded themselves in the FITM canon, and many acts we’ve hoped to work with for some time - this year signifies a lot of reunions, returns, and new beginnings. To add among those already exciting ranks the return of Neurosis - which we have had the honor of being let into the circle on by our collaborator, friend, Firekeeper and still hero Steve Von Till - is such an affirming and energizing thing for us. Seeing the thoughtful way in which this new birth of the band has been orchestrated leading up to this new album, new lineup, and first live appearance at Fire In The Mountains has been inspiring - and to have the proverbial cat out of the bag feels incredible. The last piece of the puzzle of the music lineup is fully in place. We are proud of the collective of musicians we have aligned ourselves with this year, and now all that is left is to look forward to sharing in the experience with all of you.” 🔥Fire in the Mountains Lineup🔥 NEUROSIS (Exclusive festival reunion - presented by Firekeeper Alliance) 16 Horsepower (U.S. exclusive) Enslaved Between Two Worlds (20th Anniversary Set) Baroness Amigo the Devil Borknagar (2026 U.S. exclusive) Agalloch (Ashes Against the Grain Set) Yob (presented by Firekeeper Alliance) The Ruins of Beverast (U.S. exclusive) SubRosa (U.S. exclusive) Full of Hell (presented by Firekeeper Alliance) Gallowbraid (U.S. exclusive) Sigh Wayfarer Old Man Gloom Raven Chacon & Iggor Cavalera Sumerlands Midwife Dreadnought Phobophilic Tarantella Yaotl Mictlan Savage Oath Galvanist Nocturne El Welk Join FITM, Firekeeper Alliance, Blackfeet Nation for the weekend of a lifetime. 7 years since the band has performed live, NEUROSIS will be reborn on the sacred lands of the Blackfeet Nation at Red Eagle.
