Last year's Under the Big Sky was spectacular. Heck, the last two Under the Big Sky Festivals were great. We've seen Tyler Childers, Mumford and Sons, the Red Clay Strays, Miranda Lambert, Wynonna Judd, Billy Strings, the Turnpike Troubadours, Mt. Joy, The Revivalists, Sierra Ferrell, and more.

And that's only the last two years!

We don't know who the acts will be at this year's Under the Big Sky Festival but we now have the dates.

Under the Big Sky Music Festival 2026 Dates

Under the Big Sky released the concert dates and posted the 2026 logo on their social media accounts.

Save the date because "It's official — #UnderTheBigSkyFest rides back into Big Mountain Ranch on July 17th, 18th, and 19th, 2026!" - Under the Big Sky's Facebook Page.

Again, the lineup hasn't been announced yet, but UTBS is allowing you to be the first to know with a text notification. Sign up here.

Who do you want at Under the Big Sky 2026?

Some friends and I were discussing acts that could come to UTBS next year. There were a lot of names thrown around, but here's who I settled on as my best guesses for Under the Big Sky headliners.

Chris Stapleton

Sources said Stapleton attempted to schedule a Montana concert last year. Stapleton finally comes to Montana (this is a complete guess).

Trampled by Turtles

Trampled by Turtles is a Montana classic. I think we see the Minnesota-based folk group back at UTBS.

Charley Crockett

Crockett was in Missoula two years ago, but we didn't see him in Montana in 2024. I think Crockett comes back.
