Red Ants Pants Festival tickets — White Sulphur Springs, Montana

Four Days of Americana, Country & Folk in White Sulphur Springs’ Open Pasture

Festival Information

Looking for Red Ants Pants Festival tickets? The Red Ants Pants Music Festival is a four-day, annual celebration of Americana, country, folk, bluegrass, and roots set in a working cow pasture just outside White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Founded in 2011, it’s become a beloved regional gathering known for authenticity, community spirit, and a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe.

Created to support the Red Ants Pants Foundation, the festival reflects a mission to empower women, champion rural communities, and honor Montana’s agricultural heritage. Entrepreneur Sarah Calhoun launched the event, and it has grown steadily since its 2011 debut. After a brief hiatus in 2020, the festival returned in 2021 and has hosted 14 editions as of 2025.

Drawing approximately 16,000–18,000 attendees in recent years, the festival features two stages — the Main Stage and Side Stage — and a lineup of roughly 20–30 artists per edition. The Red Ants Pants Festival schedule highlights a balanced mix of established headliners and rising voices, all rooted in Americana and roots traditions.

Past lineups have included Emmylou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, John Prine, The Mavericks, Lucinda Williams, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Fans frequently point to memorable sets — including a celebrated appearance by John Prine — as examples of the festival’s top-tier talent and heartfelt performances.

Beyond the music, the experience channels Montana pride with chainsaw carving, a hay bale obstacle course, workshops, dancing, and a strong local vendor presence. It’s family-friendly, relaxed, and community-focused — with mountain views, open skies, and camping that complete the rural festival feel.

Keep an eye out for on-site activities like chainsaw carving, the hay bale obstacle course, and family-friendly workshops. Festival maps and signage help guide your path — and with large, grassy areas, comfortable footwear is a smart call for a full day of exploring.
