The Lumineers

The Chicks revisit Missoula, bring 20+ acts and 2000s flashbacks with them

Returning to Missoula’s fairgrounds June 19–20, the 2026 Zootown Music Festival folds over 20 acts into Montana’s summer script, with The Lumineers and The Chicks at the helm.

The Chicks reappear after a decades-long Montana hiatus, bringing back echoes of “Wide Open Spaces,” penned during songwriter Susan Gibson’s forestry-school days in Missoula.

More than 60% of the lineup marks its Montana debut, including acts like Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Tedeschi Trucks Band.

GuideTime resumes outdoor excursions, while last year’s $9.1M economic bump lingers in civic memory. Pre-sale opens November 21.
