A small yet mighty lineup. The 2026 festival season is about to be in full swing, and the announcements are coming at a rapid pace. It feels like every day, a new festival is emerging, or a returning festival is somehow topping the previous year’s stacked lineup. It’s becoming harder and harder to decide what festivals to attend, and not to make the decision even harder, but the Wildlands Music Festival in Big Sky, Montana just announced their small but mighty lineup, and it’s one that you should explore. Now in its sixth year, Wildlands has curated very intentional lineups that have highlighted a few major country acts. While this festival lineup might not be as extensive as some others, it showcases some of the best talent country music has to offer while supporting a good cause. Presented by Outlaw Partners at the Big Sky Events Arena, Wildlands brings together artists, fans, and conservation enthusiasts each year to enjoy music while supporting a cause that helps protect the scenic spaces across the Greater Yellowstone. Last year, the festival raised $1.3 million for charity, and it’s expected to raise a significant amount in 2026. This year’s event will support PERC, the Property and Environment Research Center, while putting stellar acts on stage. The festival just announced its lineup, which consists of Riley Green, Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes and Kaitlin Butts. Sheesh. That’s two days of great music. If you’re thinking about taking a trip to Montana this year, I highly recommend considering late July so you can hit the Wildlands Music Festival. Held over July 31st and August 1st, there is no better time to visit Big Sky Country. Good music and a good cause, nothing better. Tickets go on sale January 22 at 10 AM at wildlandsmusic.com.
