On Wednesday, festival organizers announced the 2019 Mountain Jam will now be held at Bethel Woods on June 13-16. Artists announced so far include: Willie Nelson & Family, Gov’t Mule, The Avett Brothers, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Amy Helm, The Big Takeover and Marco Benevento.
