One of the most popular music festivals in Montana is the Wildlands in Big Sky. In 2025, Dave Matthews performed two solo shows, supported by Molly Tuttle and Lukas Nelson. For 2026, the festival lineup caters to country music fans, with one of the biggest stars in country music scheduled to perform.

The 2026 Wildlands lineup includes Carrie Underwood, Riley Green, LeAnn Rimes, and Kaitlin Butts. The festival will take place at the Big Sky Events Arena, July 31 - August 1, and will help raise funds for the Property & Environment Research Center (PERC), which is the festival's lead conservation partner.

Carrie Underwood is an 8-time Grammy Award winner, and LeAnn Rimes has two. It's not often that fans can see so much star power in one place. Plus, you can't really beat seeing a concert at Big Sky, with Lone Mountain towering in the background.

Tickets for Wildlands go on sale Thursday, January 22, at 10:00 MST. Information about tickets and the festival can be found [here].

It's only January, and the concert calendar in Montana is already filling up fast. I might have to get a second job so I can afford all of the concert tickets I want to buy.
