Magic City Blues

Now without a venue after MetraPark declined them for 2024, Magic City Blues is shutting down.

If I had to sum up the night- we showed up for Whiskey Myers, and we stayed for King Solomon Hicks. What a lineup at Friday night's Magic City Blues Festival.

Billings has a ton to offer every year for anyone visiting the city from anywhere. Here are four of my favorite events to attend.

"The Party of the Summer" is moving to MetraPark this year. Headliners are Lynyrd Skynrd and Whiskey Myers + 11 other acts, spread over two days and three stages. Early-bird tickets go on sale 3/7.

One of the longest running urban music festivals in Montana is back for 2021. Tickets go on sale Saturday (4/17) at noon.
