The Under The Big Sky Festival is returning to the heart of Montana’s big sky country at Big Mountain Ranch in Whitefish, Montana July 17-19.

Anchored by headliners Chris Stapleton, Zach Top and Cody Jinks, the 2026 lineup pairs marquee names and rising voices in one of the country’s most panoramic and picturesque settings, with more than 40 artists from genres across outlaw country, indie rock, bluegrass, folk and the best of Montana’s musical scene as well.

Among those set to play are Ryan Bingham and Texas Gentlemen, Marcus King Band, Charles Wesley Godwin, Stephen Wilson Jr., Kaitlin Butts, the Hogslop String Band, Of Monsters and Men, Max McNown, Greensky Bluegrass, Old Crow Medicine Show, Rattlesnake Milk, folk duo Ocie Elliott, Cole Chaney, Gabriella Rose and The Brudi Brothers.

Situated 30 miles south of the Canadian border, just minutes away from the rugged beauty of Glacier National Park, Under The Big Sky immerses attendees in the majesty of the American West and cowboy traditions. Taking place on a 350-acre working ranch, the stages are adorned by railroad tracks and streams framed by green forest and panoramic mountain views. A full rough stock rodeo features athletes competing in bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback riding, team roping, barrel racing and more.

Under The Big Sky is open to fans of all ages with 3-Day GA or VIP passes (21+) available, along with complimentary GA passes with RSVP for children 36″ and under. Fans are encouraged to sign up for access to the SMS presale on Nov. 7 by texting ‘OUTRIDERS’ to (406) 341-2944, with general on-sale beginning Nov. 7.
