About the Double Down Missoula Show

The 2026 Double Down Tour kicks off August 1 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, the home turf of the University of Montana Grizzlies. It's a venue better known for fall Saturdays and Big Sky Conference football, but on opening night of the Double Down run it transforms into a 26,000-seat country amphitheater for Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. The Wa-Griz, as locals call it, last hosted a major concert event years ago - so this is a rare night for the Garden City.

What makes Missoula special on this run is its place in the schedule. As the very first stop, this is where the production debuts, where the band locks into the groove for the rest of the tour, and where the duo road-tests their new duet "Songs About Us" outside of Athens. The Athens kickoff at Sanford Stadium drew over 63,000 fans and went viral on country socials almost overnight - now it's Missoula's turn to set the tone.

Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan have plenty of catalog to draw from. Aldean's recent run includes Highway Desperado material along with the radio-staple hits that built his career. Bryan continues to push new singles while keeping the party-anthem core that made him a stadium headliner in the first place. Expect both to share lead vocal duties, swap guitars, and play stripped-down moments alongside the full-throttle hits.

Confirmed Missoula support comes from Chase Matthew and Lauren Watkins, both of whom have been picking up steam on country radio. Dee Jay Silver and DJ Rock handle the music between sets, keeping the crowd warm in the early evening Montana air.
