MONTANA FOLK FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FINAL LINEUP COMING TO BUTTE JULY 10-12

BUTTE, MT – With less than two months until the 2026 Montana Folk Festival, organizers today announced the remaining eight performers to join the previously released 14 artists coming to the Montana Folk Festival in Butte, Montana July 10, 11 and 12.
This fills out the final lineup for the festival’s performance stages that will run continuously throughout the festival weekend.
No admission is charged for any performance over the three days of the festival but attendees are encouraged to show their love and to “Kick In” a contribution in the colored buckets of $25 for an individual and $35 for a family if they like what they find at the festival to ensure that it continues for years to come.
“We have our lineup set and we can now give everyone the complete picture of what to expect when they come to Butte in July,” said George Everett, Festival Director.
"For any one of these performers, you could expect to pay $50 or more to see them at another venue. These performers will perform multiple times in Butte throughout the festival weekend and admission to all shows will be the same -- free, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and contributors who give $5 to $50,000 or more so that this festival remains free of admission to all. We will let attendees decide for themselves as they plan how they will take it all in, but there will be plenty of excitement for everyone. They should come expecting to be amazed."
