Gary Allan, Bailey Zimmerman, Jon Pardi headlining Headwaters Country Jam this weekend

For a festival that has hosted names like Luke Bryan, the Charlie Daniels Band, Hardy and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in previous years, it may be a bit of a stretch to say that this is the best lineup in the history of Headwaters Country Jam.  But then again, looking at the 2024 lineup for the three-day festival that gets underway Thursday afternoon in Cardwell, Montana, just between Whitehall and Three Forks on Highway 2, it may be a stretch to say that it isn't.  With two rock-solid mainstream acts as the headliners on Thursday and Friday, a young legend closing the festival on Saturday and a heaping helping of underground acts and local talent, Headwaters Country Jam 2024 is a festival you need to know about.
