It's time to gather your crew, pack your camping gear, and answer the call.
Country Roads. Take Me Dome.
Curated by Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Domefest has become one of the region's most beloved boutique music festivals, bringing together incredible artists, unforgettable collaborations, and the best community of fans anywhere. This year's lineup is stacked from top to bottom with three nights of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong alongside Spafford, The Motet, Mihali, TAUK, Dizgo, Kendall Street Company, Sicard Hollow, Sneezy, The Domefest All Stars and more. It's three days packed with nonstop music, late-night jams, and the kind of spontaneous moments that only happen at Domefest.
Music will be happening across three unique stages, each offering its own unforgettable vibe. The Mountaintop Main Stage hosts the festival's biggest performances beneath the West Virginia sky. The Lost Paddle Lake Stage delivers lakeside sets just steps from the resort's waterpark, creating one of the most scenic music experiences you'll find anywhere. Once the headliners wrap up each night, the party shifts to the Art Pavilion, where immersive lighting, art installations, and late-night performances from Dizgo, 5AM Trio, and Squeaky Feet keep the energy flowing well into the morning.
Beyond the music, Domefest is an adventure vacation wrapped into a music festival. Your weekend pass includes car camping, allowing you to stay right in the middle of the action while enjoying hot showers, real bathrooms, free resort shuttles, and all the comforts that make ACE Adventure Resort one of the premier festival destinations in the country. Upgrade your experience with cabins, cabin tents, or other lodging options if you're looking for a few extra amenities.
During the day, take advantage of everything ACE Adventure Resort has to offer. Cool off at the waterpark, tackle the aerial adventure park, go ziplining, hit the trails, explore the New River Gorge National Park, or book a world-class whitewater rafting trip before heading back to the music. Domefest is one of the few festivals where your biggest decision might be whether to spend the afternoon on the river or dancing lakeside.
Now is also the perfect time to start planning your festival weekend. The official stage schedule has been released, making it easy to map out your can't-miss sets. Don't forget to pack your costumes, either—the daily Domefest themes are back, giving everyone another excuse to get weird, creative, and fully embrace the Domie spirit.
Single Day Tickets and Weekend Passes are still available, and if you want to maximize your time on the mountain, don't forget to grab a Wednesday Early Arrival Pass. You'll get an extra night with your domies, first choice of camping spots, and another evening to settle into the magic before the music begins.
One month from now, the mountains will once again echo with music, laughter, and the unmistakable energy that only Domefest can create. Rally your Domies, make your plans, and get ready for another unforgettable weekend in the New River Gorge.
