Big Sky, Big Sound: Up North: Lincoln, the Flathead, and Beyond
Check out the music coming to the Lincoln and Flathead region, some right around the corner and some a little further down the line:
Rockin' the Rockies
August 21–22
Grantier Ranch, Lincoln
Bringing the spirit of Montana's classic outdoor music festivals back to life, Rockin' the Rockies turns a weekend in Lincoln into a celebration of live music, camping, and community. With more than 20 bands spanning country, classic rock, folk, and more, plus vendors, food, and plenty of room to settle in for the weekend, it's the kind of festival that makes the drive worth it. Add in the surrounding mountains and small-town Montana charm, and you've got a pretty unique place to catch a show.
Under the Big Sky
July 17–19
Whitefish Mountain Resort
Since its debut, Under the Big Sky has quickly become one of Montana's premier music festivals. Set against the backdrop of Whitefish Mountain Resort, this three-day celebration brings together a mix of country, Americana, folk, and rock, all with one of the most scenic festival settings in the country. Between the music, mountain views, and endless nearby adventures, it's the kind of weekend that feels distinctly Montana.
