Converge have been added to next year’s Fire In The Mountains festival. That event will take place at Red Eagle Campground in Glacier, MT on July 25-27. Converge’s set was curated by the Firekeeper Alliance.
Charlie Speicher, director of the Firekeeper Alliance, said the following about curating Converge’s performance:
“The Firekeeper Alliance exists to support Indigenous communities in creating as much protection from suicide as possible. This specially curated set at Fire in The Mountains is extremely meaningful to us, and we’ve selected one of the most revered heavy bands of all time to perform in the Blackfeet Nation for the first time ever.
To us, Converge is the band that embodies the Firekeeper Alliance ethos perfectly. The sheer power of both their message and their live performance has helped us understand that we can transmute our pain into something positive.
In Indian Country, it’s easy to feel hopelessness in the face of the amount of loss experienced. Converge has taught us that in spite of our pain, we can find hope, so long as we “keep breathing, keep living, keep searching”… This curation is for the hearts still beating.”
Converge added:
“We cannot begin to explain our gratitude to Firekeeper Alliance for the invitation to participate in Fire In The Mountains 2025. This is so much more than a music festival and the importance of that is not lost on us. The great honor and privilege of playing our music in the Blackfeet Nation and the joy and catharsis that comes with it is something for which we will be forever thankful.”
In addition to Converge, the festival will also feature: Wardruna, Old Man’s Child, Blood Incantation, Blackbraid, Emma Ruth Rundle, Hexvessel, Steve Von Till, Pan-Amerikan Native Front, Tzompantli, Majesties, and Witching.
