Billings’ Pub Station Loading Up Great Concerts for Summer
After a disastrous concert season in 2020, the live music scene around Billings appears to be picking up momentum as bands and musicians get back on the road. Artists are trying to make up for a ton of lost concert dates last year and fans of live music seem thirsty for live shows. An estimated 7,100 people attended the recent Toby Keith concert at First Interstate Arena.
Big festivals and outdoors show are coming back too.
While some major artists are sitting out the festival circuit this year (Motley Crue/Def Leppard/Poison moved to 2022), in Montana the Red Ants Pants Festival, Rockin' the Rivers and Headwaters Country Jam are all back for 2021. The Pub Station in downtown Billings is busy booking acts for the summer season too.
