Widespread Panic

Legendary Southern jam band Widespread Panic will make their highly anticipated debut at KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner, Montana for two nights — July 7th & July 8th, 2026

Formed in Athens, Georgia in the mid-1980s, Widespread Panic has spent more than three decades building a reputation as one of the most powerful live acts in American music. Led by vocalist and guitarist John Bell alongside longtime bandmates including bassist Dave Schools and keyboardist John Hermann, the group has cultivated a fiercely loyal following through marathon shows, fearless improvisation, and a deep catalog that blends Southern rock, blues, funk, and jam.

Over the years, the band has released a dozen studio albums and dozens of live recordings while selling millions of records and setting attendance records at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Their concerts have become legendary for their energy and spontaneity, with fan favorites like “Ain’t Life Grand,” “Up All Night,” and “Pickin’ Up The Pieces” serving as launchpads for extended jams and unforgettable moments on stage.
