Tim Montana brings the 'Entire State' tour back to the Pub Station Ballroom

First Billings show since August 2022: the guitar-slinging country-rocker plays the Pub Station Ballroom on Saturday, Feb. 20, with a new album full of famous friends.

The last time Tim Montana played Billings, it was a late-summer night at the Pub Station Ballroom: Aug. 25, 2022. He comes back to the same room on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2027 — and with a record that has him touring under a name that almost demands a stop in this state.

The Pub Station has the date listed as part of Montana's Entire State Tour, in the 1,000-capacity Ballroom at 2502 1st Ave. N., tagged "Just Announced" with tickets running roughly $29 to $60 on the venue's events page. The show was announced Oct. 16, and tickets are through the Pub Station's Etix link. Mind the room: the Pub Station also runs a smaller Taproom, but this one is in the Ballroom.

The tour takes its name from the album. Entire State of Tim Montana came out July 31 via BMG — sixteen tracks with a guest list most players never get near on one record. Jerry Cantrell, Slash and Billy F Gibbons all turn up, the latter two on Montana's take on "Brown Sugar," according to the album announcement carried by KNAC. Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen and Robert Patrick drop in with spoken cameos, and it was Charlie Sheen who suggested the title, per BroadwayWorld. The lead single was "Break Me Down."

Four years, a lot of opening slots and one very crowded guest list later, he's back in the same room.

A lot has happened in the four years since that 2022 night. Montana released Savage on BBR Music Group and spent long stretches on the road as the opener on rock bills: support slots with Bush, Jerry Cantrell and Candlebox in 2024, then direct support for Myles Kennedy on his winter 2025 tour. This year he was out on Alter Bridge's "What Lies Within" U.S. tour alongside Filter. That's a lot of nights in front of crowds who came for someone else, and it's the kind of grind that tends to sharpen a headline set.

Montana's mix is country in the voice and hard rock in the guitar, and a thousand people is a real crowd for a February Saturday.

Expect the new record to carry the night, and expect the guitar to be loud. An opener hasn't been posted yet.

It's been four years. Pick up tickets before the Ballroom starts filling up.
