The festival released its all-star 2024 lineup at the historic Strand

Thanks to past attendance at the festival, the Red Ants Pants Foundation
has delivered nearly $160,000 in community grants to more than 100 entities
across Montana to support mission-driven work. The 13th Red Ants Pants
Music Festival will take place July 25 – 28, 2024 on the Jackson Ranch just
outside of White Sulphur Springs, Montana. The FREE Street Dance on Main
Street kicks off the festival weekend on Thursday July 25th and will open
with Tanner Laws Band and close with Wild Horses.
In addition, the Red Ants Pants Music Festival will include 14 side stage
performances along with Demo Area activities designed to teach, showcase,
and celebrate traditional work skills.
*“The depth and diversity of this year’s lineup is truly special, and we
cannot wait to welcome so many incredible musicians to join us in the
middle of Montana. The Americana legends and rising stars in our lineup are
a big draw, but it’s also the mission behind the music that makes the
experience so special,” *said festival producer Sarah Calhoun. “*Red Ants
Pants Music Festival fans take so much pride in knowing that long after the
final song rings out on the main stage, they are investing in the Red Ants
Pants Foundation’s work to increase women’s leadership, support working
family farms and ranches, and enrich rural communities.”*
Named the “Montana Event of the Year” by the Montana Office of Tourism, the
Red Ants Pants Music Festival is known for its lasting impact of
mission-based work to increase women’s leadership, promote rural
communities, and support working family farms and ranches through the
programming of the Red Ants Pants Foundation.

*EARLY TICKET PURCHASE ADVISED*
The event historically sells out, so early ticket purchase is
recommended. This volunteer-supported, homegrown music festival is a
program of the non-profit Red Ants Pants Foundation. We truly value the
neighborly atmosphere of our festival, which is why tickets will be capped
again in 2024. Visit www.redantspantsmusicfestival.com/tickets for more
information.
*MUSIC WITH A MISSION*
This is the 13th year of the music festival, which is a program of and
supports the Red Ants Pants Foundation
<https://www.redantspantsfoundation.org/>, a nonprofit organization in
support of women’s leadership, working family farms and ranches, and rural
communities.
*COME CONNECT WITH GOOD FOLKS AND CELEBRATE RURAL MONTANA*
Held in a sweet clover cow pasture on the Jackson Ranch, and surrounded by
the Big Belt, Little Belt, and Castle Mountain ranges, the festival will
bring in more than two dozen different artists performing on separate
stages. The weekend-long, grassroots, Americana music festival brings in
millions of dollars to the rural economy.
