Tickets now on sale for the Montana event of the year
Summer festival season is upon us! The Red Ants Pants Music Festival has announced its powerhouse 2024 lineup for the 13th annual event set for this summer. Named the “Montana Event of the Year” by the Montana Office of Tourism, Red Ants Pants is widely 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. The event will take place July 25th–28th on the Jackson Ranch just outside of White Sulphur Springs.
This year’s main stage lineup includes Grammy Award-winning Lukas Nelson, Billboard bluegrass chart-toppers The Devil Makes Three, as well as Grammy Award-winners Los Lobos and Sarah Jarosz.
Also performing this summer are Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors, KT Tunstall, Big Richard, Bella White, Jeffrey Foucault with Erik Koskinen, Buffalo Nichols, Emily Nenni, Melissa Carper, Adeem the Artist, Summer Dean, Goldpine and Abby Webster & Her Imaginary Band. Wild Horses will headline the annual kickoff street dance with opening support by the Tanner Laws Band.
In addition, Red Ants Pants 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.”
