Explosive alt-rock breakout Sleep Theory is bringing The Afterglow Tour to The ELM in Bozeman on September 30, 2025, with a stacked support lineup featuring Nevertel, Oxymorrons, and Stray View. Emerging from Memphis, TN with a sound that fuses post-hardcore energy with hook-heavy alt-rock melodies, Sleep Theory has taken the rock world by storm. Their viral 2023 single “Another Way” put them on the map, racking up millions of streams and launching them into the national spotlight. Their debut album Afterglow (2025) has solidified their status as one of rock’s most exciting rising acts. Tracks like “Fallout” and “Numb” showcase their dynamic sound, while their high-intensity live performances continue to earn praise across the country. Joining them in Bozeman are genre-blending alt-rockers Nevertel, the high-octane, hip-hop infused Oxymorrons, and up-and-coming heavy hitters Stray View—making this one stacked lineup from start to finish. Catch this lineup up close while you still can—these are the bands you’ll be seeing on festival main stages and in arenas before long!

Join us at Gild Brewing for Toast the Town. One dollar from every drink sold will be donated to TIFO, because all people have the right to live and work in a healthy environment! Every time we use a phone or computer, drive a car, or charge a device, we are using resources extracted from the earth. The extraction of these resources affects the most vulnerable people in the world’s most vulnerable communities — at home and abroad. So let's share a toast to help prevent pollution from poisoning people!

It's never too late to chase your rockstar dreams! Over this 7-week collaborative musical course, adult students of any and all skill levels will come together to form a band, write an original song, and build some callouses practicing for a final performance. While folks are welcome to contribute with other instruments not listed, our primary band roles that folks can expect to fill are; vocals, keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. Just like in our youth Rock Camps, we will try to take into account everyone's experience and preference for what band role they would like to fill, but can't guarantee someone will end up with a specific instrument. Bands will also have the opportunity to design their own logo and screen print their own merch in the ZACC's Print Shop. At the end of this 7 week class, the bands will perform their songs together at a dedicated event in the ZACC Show Room on the last scheduled day of class OR open a rock show for touring or regional bands booked in the ZACC Show Room**. This is TBD based on the ZACC's programming calendar, future booking requests, and band member schedules. If you would like to incorporate an instrument outside of those listed above, please contact Joe at joe@zootownarts.org before you register. Let's turn it up to 11 and get rockin'! Classes will be held on Mondays.

This will include group shares and an invitation to present your work. Materials will be provided. Arrive curious! All levels and experience of art-making are welcome. This is Madelaine and Rylee's second iteration of this workshop, and they both look forward to creating a container for you to get in touch with your creative intuition. Madelaine is the abstract watercolor artist behind "The Travelogue from the End of History", currently on display in the ZACC's Blackfoot Gallery. You can learn more about her and see more of her work at soupinthewoods.com/ Rylee is an artist and healer and practices modalities!

The Missoula Farmers' Market was formed in 1972 as a local farm and garden market. Tuesday markets begin on June 3rd from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm to the end of October. In the spring you will find veggie starts and greens, summertime brings tomatoes, huckleberries, cherries, peaches, melons and corn, and fall's bounty includes squash & pumpkins, apples and garlic. Locally grown, raised, gathered and processed meat, eggs and mushrooms are available all season long.

If you prefer a wide selection of 26 different beers on tap, the occasional drink special, and sports, you might already enjoy gracing the Molly Brown Bar with your presence. But if you happen to get “the jitters” when you go too long without bingo or trivia, you’ll find Molly even more appealing! With each event taking place at 8pm weekly (bingo on Tuesdays, and trivia on Wednesdays), patrons can gather their friends or fellow bingo addicts together and share in a night of fun. Age: 21+
