- Pigeons Playing Ping Pong — 3 nights
- Spafford, The Motet, Mihali
- TAUK, Dizgo, Kendall Street Company (KSC), Squeaky Feet
- 5AM Trio, Frute, HealySide Trio, Jacobzy, Hot Brown Smackdown
Redditors on r/jambands called this one a sleeper turned legit — multiple festival vets praised the venue and lineup. Attendees say Domefest has gone from a tiny dome-based party to a full-on mountain fest with strong vibes and tight production. Several comments specifically shouted out 5AM Trio and Squeaky Feet as must-sees, and longtime fans noted Pigeons always bring the heat.
Ace Adventure Resort is a great playground for outdoorsy festival folks — it’s set on the ridge by the New River Gorge with on-site rafting, cabins you can rent with a crew, and a lower-water-area lodge/bar that usually hosts daytime sets. Camping is reportedly flat and car-friendly (pull up to your spot), there are shuttle runs up/down the mountain, and returning attendees mentioned clean showers and portos.
- Buy tickets early — small-ish fests like this can sell out fast once word spreads.
- If you want to balance music + water time, plan for the shuttle to the water park/lounge area where they host daytime acts.
- Bring layers — mountain nights can drop temp even in August — and stay hydrated if you’re rafting or hiking.
