Montana’s KettleHouse Amphitheater Named One of America’s Best Outdoor Venues

Montana is home to several amazing outdoor concert venues, and the KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner ranks among the best in the country.

If you've ever been to a concert at KettleHouse Amphitheater, you already know how special the venue is. Located along the banks of the Blackfoot River in Bonner, Montana, the amphitheater is one of the most unique in America.

Now, KettleHouse Amphitheater is in the national spotlight. AARP just released a list of Six Amazing Outdoor Concert Venues, and KettleHouse made the cut. The fact that a concert venue in Montana was featured on a list that includes Red Rocks, The Gorge, and the Hollywood Bowl is pretty impressive.

Here's what AARP said about KettleHouse Amphitheater.

Just outside Missoula, conifers blanket the wilderness around the 4,250-seat amphitheater along the picturesque banks of the Blackfoot River, where attending a show feels more like a national park outing than a concert.

As someone who has attended many shows at KettleHouse, I'm happy to see the venue getting the recognition it deserves. We're lucky to have such an awesome place to experience live music. If you've never been to a show there, I'd highly recommend adding it to your bucket list.
