One sure sign that spring and summer are right around the corner is the announcement of upcoming concerts in our area and Bonner's Kettlehouse Amphitheater has landed a big one.

Little Big Town will be performing Thursday, June 15 at the Kettlehouse, 605 Coldsmoke Lane in Bonner.  LBT has been around for over 20 years and in that time have won ACM awards.  They've won CMAs and AMA awards.  They've even got an Emmy Award under their collective belt as well as #1 singles such as "Day Drinking", "Pontoon", "Better Man" and "Tornado".  Their "Friends of Mine" Tour is in support of their tenth studio album, "Mr. Sun" which includes their latest single "Hell Yeah".

The Kettlehouse Ampitheater is state of the art and without question one of the premiere venues to see a concert in the Treasure State.  However, it's seating capacity is limited to around 4,000 so this is a show for which you should secure your tickets early.  If you're a big fan of Little Big Town, the presale is Wednesday, February 1 at 10am.  This is the route you will want to take if you want reserved seats.  The reserved, stadium-style seats are located directly behind the main "pit" of the ampitheater with the premium tickets giving you access to the first 4 rows.  General Admission Pit tickets are the ones you will want to get if you want even closer to the stage.  The general sale starts Friday, February 3 at 10am and can be purchased at the Top Hat Box Office in Missoula, by calling (800) 514-3849 or directly right here.

Dozens of mine headframes used to dot the Butte hill but most have since been torn down or swallowed by the Pit. Here are the ones that still tower proudly over our town.
