Mountain Jam makes its 12th annual trip to Hunter Mountain, N.Y., on June 2, with a lineup that promises to deliver more of the great music and good times that have helped make it one of the most successful and acclaimed festivals in the country.

With a long list of acts lined up to play on an assortment of stages over the four-day festival, it can be hard to juggle all the opportunities to catch a great show — not to mention experiencing Mountain Jam's concessions (including a ton of food vendors), activities (as well as a number of options for kids) and art on display. To help organize some of the brightest potential highlights from Mountain Jam 2016, we've rounded up a list of five reasons you can't miss this year's edition.

As always, there's plenty for classic rock fans to enjoy at the festival, as well as a healthy array of emerging artists — and even a couple of performances that explicitly pay tribute to two of the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll history. After taking a look at the full schedule, we've narrowed in on the sets that are practically guaranteed to deliver some of Mountain Jam 2016's most memorable can't-miss moments.
