“Rich” isn’t quite accurate enough a word to describe Missoula’s music scene, and “thriving” just doesn’t do it justice – you have to experience it for yourself.
Live Music
We get our fair share of big acts coming to town. The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and Pearl Jam have all played Missoula in recent years, but what we’re particularly proud of is our thriving local music scene. Check out the Badlander, Top Hat, Sean Kelly’s, The Union Club, Monk’s and more to catch a great local show.
