“We are so excited about our 2025 lineup that we decided to release it earlier than ever this year. From GRAMMY award-winning Americana greats to some incredible rising stars, it’s an honor to bring folks together in the middle of Montana,” said festival producer Sarah Calhoun. “In addition to this incredible lineup, one thing that sets our festival apart is the mission behind the music. We want to thank Red Ants Pants Music Festival fans for their support as ticket sales help invest in the work of the Red Ants Pants Foundation to increase women’s leadership, support working family farms and ranches, and enrich rural communities.”
Named the “Montana Event of the Year” by the Montana Office of Tourism, the Red Ants Pants Music Festival is known for its lasting impact of mission-based work.
