At the center of it all is the Million Dollar Music Fest, returning on Sunday, May 25, as the marquee event of the weekend. Presented by The Cowboy Bar and a signature event of Old West Days, presented by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, this free, all-ages outdoor concert transforms the historic Town Square into a stage for award-winning country stars, rising talent, and local favorites—all in celebration of Jackson Hole’s Western heritage.

Headliner Acts Bringing the West to Life

The 2025 Million Dollar Music Fest boasts a star-studded lineup that reflects the range and richness of today’s country music:

  • Midland – The GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum trio returns to Jackson Hole with their signature honkytonk-meets-modern-country sound. This is their first performance in Jackson in three years, and fans are ready to welcome them back with open arms.

  • John Michael Montgomery – Country royalty takes the stage for his Jackson Hole debut on the Road to Home Farewell Tour. With 19 Top-5 hits and 7 number-one singles, Montgomery is sure to deliver a night of nostalgic chart-toppers and heartfelt ballads.

  • Tenille Townes – Known for blending the soul of Janis Joplin with the grit of Miranda Lambert, Townes is back in Jackson after her sold-out show at Cowgirls at The Cowboy. With 15 Canadian Country Music Association Awards and an ACM win under her belt, she’s a rising star with serious staying power.
