Hopping back on the saddle for the fifth edition, Outriders Present reveals the lineup for the highly anticipated Under The Big Sky Music, Rodeo & Roundup Festival.
The three-day event will be held at the panoramic 360-acre Big Mountain Ranch in Whitefish, MT on July 12-14, 2024 where it will once again showcase a powerful and diverse roster of star-studded performances across Americana, Outlaw country, rock, indie-folk, and bluegrass music. Headlining performances include the legendary icon Miranda Lambert, and the return of Billy Strings and Turnpike Troubadours.
Only 30 miles south of the Canadian Border, located in Flathead Valley only minutes away in the heart of Whitefish’s charming downtown village, attendees will immerse themselves in the rich beauties of the American West on a working ranch with green meadows, railroads and breathtaking backdrops. Guests have the option to shop in the vendor crossroads and mercantile row or visit the local tattoo shop. Attendees can indulge in local craft beer and artisanal eats like the popular Wagyu Wagon food truck that caters locally raised beef from the area. Other fun family attractions include horse rides and an adorable petting zoo.
The festival headliners include country music superstar, Miranda Lambert; one of the most much-buzzed-about returns of Americana roots’ leading acts Turnpike Troubadours; and the GRAMMY award-winning bluegrass strings musician, Billy Strings. Complementing the headliners include noteworthy talent like 2023 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, Tanya Tucker; country music duo, Brothers Osborne; spellbinding singer/songwriter, Sierra Ferrell; the larger-than-life baritoned, Paul Cauthen; and the ruggedly raw American country-folk musician, Charles Wesley Godwin. Rounding out the lineup is tenderhearted Canadian singer, songwriter City & Colour, and the American five-piece indie rock band, Mt. Joy, plus many others.
Under The Big Sky will continue to provide a platform for the states’ emerging local talent such as Flathead-based acts like Archertown, Badger Hound, Tomara, Miller Campbell, Denim Gold; along with Bozeman-based artists like Abby Webster and Madeline Hawthorne; and Missoula’s favorite sweethearts, The Lil Smokies.
The festival will continue working with the Whitefish Credit Union to recognize and honor resident heroes within the community, along with its recurring contributions to the local food bank. Additionally, Under The Big Sky will continue its instrumental partnership with Save Farmland, a nonprofit organization with a mission to protect and promote small farms in Montana. With the continuation of this partnership, the goals remain the same, to create awareness and raise proceeds for its various programs through on-site merchandise sales throughout the weekend.
Under The Big Sky is open for all ages to attend, with children under six given free entry. Both GA and VIP 3 day tickets will go on sale Friday, December 8th at 12PM MT.
