Under the Big Sky is bringing the heat once again with their 2026 lineup.
Over the years, the Whitefish, Montana, festival has been attracting country music fans nationwide with a three-day event featuring some of country music’s best. Under The Big Sky is your festival if you want to avoid a festival that smells like Nashville country.
Taking place at Big Mountain Ranch, the festival features some of the best outlaw country, folk, bluegrass, Americana, and rock acts on the scene right now, while also highlighting a good deal of up-and-comers, who will shape the future of country music.
Each year, the festival pulls an insanely impressive list of artists for their lineup, and last year’s list of talent included Tyler Childers, the Red Clay Strays, Mumford & Sons, Wynonna Judd, Shane Smith & the Saints, Oliver Anthony, Dylan Gossett, Wyatt Flores, and much more.
The list of talent lends itself to some very memorable moments, like Wynonna Judd joining Tyler Childers for a stellar performance of “Way Of The Triune God.” I know this sounds dramatic, but this performance has lived rent-free in my head for months.

The 2026 lineup is no different from past years, and Outrider Presents brought the heat when planning the Under The Big Sky lineup.
Your 2026 Under The Big Sky headliners are Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, and Cody Jinks. I have chills already thinking about hearing Chris Stapleton and Zach Top while under the Montana sky, and Cody Jinks will bring his Texas outlaw stylings up to the northwest for his set, laying down truth and stellar licks.
But hold on to your britches because that is just where we are getting started. Over the July 17th, 18th, and 19th, you can also catch stellar acts like Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen, Of Monsters and Men, Stephen Wilson Jr., Charles Wesley Godwin, Marcus King Band, Waylon Wyatt, Benjamin Tod, Leftover Salmon, Rattlesnake Milk, Old Crow Medicine Show, Kaitlin Butts, Mountain Grass Unit, Cole Chaney, Lauren Watkins, and much more.
“Saddle up. The 2026 lineup is here!”
This is not a festival you want to miss, and if Under The Big Sky has been on your radar. Whitefish will be flooded with talent come July 2026.
