Discover Montana’s 2024 Concert Scene: Road Trip Guide For Music Lovers
There are so many great concerts happening across Montana in 2024, you'd be on the road every day trying to attend them all. Some of the biggest artists in music are making tour stops in Montana, at both our largest AND smallest venues.
We've listed just a small sampling of great concerts you'll be able to see in Big Sky Country this year. What's cool, is that some small towns in Montana are getting fantastic shows...not just the big cities and typical venues.
Prepare yourself for plenty of live music and perhaps some road trips across Montana this year. Concerts are good for the soul, and we've got SO many coming our way. Start saving up the coins for gas money and merch.
Keep in mind that many more concert announcements will be made in the coming weeks. Some of the cooler, smaller venues (perhaps rural, outdoor settings) don't book shows as early as the larger more established venues. We'll update this list with more concerts as they are announced.

Montana Concert Road Trip Pro Tips: Everyone knows the most important piece of advice is to go with the flow and have fun. You're with your friends, going to see live music somewhere in Montana. A good attitude and some patience makes it all good.
If you're staying overnight in a Montana town, most of them have shuttles to their venues. For instance, Kettlehouse Amphitheater shows have an excellent shuttle that you can take to and from downtown Missoula to the venue. The Old Saloon in Emigrant usually offers a shuttle too.
A few venues even offer some form of lodging, although you'd better book that early. Pine Creek Lodge in the Paradise Valley south of Livingston has a few different options. (They call them crash pads, houses, and canvas tents.)
