MOUNTAIN STAGE

SUMMIT STAGE: INTIMATE PERFORMANCES

Step upstairs to the Summit Stage and see another side of The Mountain. Experience the closeness and the raw energy that define this space; intimate sets where every chord feels personal and every lyric connects.

The Summit Stage is where fans experience up-close performances, select Photo Experiences, and exclusive events that adds depth to the weekend. It’s the perfect balance to the thunder of the Main Arena downstairs, offering moments that stay with you long after the lights fade.

THE ROCK N' ROLL MARKETPLACE

The Rock N’ Roll Marketplace is a signature stop inside the Gatlinburg Convention Center, where fans explore vendors from across the country offering clothing, crafts, music, and more. It’s also home to the main Merchandise Store, stocked with festival swag and exclusive artist gear.

In past years, fans have discovered unique artwork in the Wentworth Gallery, featuring pieces by legends like Paul Stanley, Joe Satriani, Rick Allen, and even Brian Wheat of Tesla. Alongside the shopping and art, The Rock N’ Roll Marketplace has become a hub of creativity and connection, a space where festival culture extends beyond the stage.

Stay tuned for updates on the vendors planned for The Mountain in 2026.

THE PATIO: INDOOR/OUTDOOR VIBE ABOVE THE PARKWAY

Perched above the main parkway of Gatlinburg, The Patio blends indoor comfort with an outdoor festival atmosphere. This fan-favorite space comes with it’s own bar, patio overlooking the parkway, and a rotating soundtrack from Metal DJ Will, spinning classic anthems and deep cuts that keep the energy flowing.

In past editions of The Mountain, The Patio has hosted acoustic shows, comedy sets like Punchlines and Backlines, and crowd-favorite competitions such as So You Think You Can Shred Smokies Edition. Each year brings its own surprises, making The Patio a place where fans gather, connect, and catch moments you won’t find anywhere else in the festival.

Stay tuned to see what The Patio will bring to the 2026 experience.
