Fader Magavin and the Risky Livers joins Friday, Aug. 2 lineup and pledges $10,000 to event charitable partners
Outlaw Partners is excited to announce an additional act for this summer’s Wildlands Festival lineup, Aug. 2-3 at the Big Sky Events Arena. Fader Magavin and the Risky Livers will open the festival Friday, Aug. 2 along with headliner Maren Morris, and Lukas Nelson. Headliner Dierks Bentley will perform on Saturday, Aug. 3, along with Wyatt Flores.
Self-described as “underground basement country” and based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Fader Magavin and the Risky Livers will bring a local authenticity that melds the lyrics of a famed backcountry cowboy and a group of wayfaring strangers brought together to tell stories of drinking, regret, loves lost, and hope for a better day.
Additionally, in support of the Wildlands Festival ethos, Fader Mcgavin and the Risky Livers have networked a $10,000 donation to support the three charitable partners of this year’s event, and are encouraging others to get on board.
“It is a great pleasure and honor to be performing amongst such country music royalty at this year’s Wildlands Festival,” said Fader Magavin. “We are looking forward to the opportunity and are passionate about our role in supporting wild and scenic spaces and the charities involved in the event.”
In its fourth year, Wildlands Festival will continue its commitment to celebrate and support wild and scenic lands through world-class musical performances, fundraising and education in the intimate Big Sky Events Arena with Lone Peak as the backdrop. Last year, over $500,000 was raised for river conservation, an unprecedented amount for such fundraising efforts. The goal is to continue that momentum this year through sponsorships, ticket sales, donations, musical performances and personal connections with those who share a love for wild places.
As the largest conservation-focused outdoor music festival in southwest Montana, Wildlands aims to raise awareness and funds for nonprofit organizations dedicated to saving wild and open spaces while featuring an all-star lineup of musicians.
“We couldn’t be more excited to add Fader Magavin and the Risky Livers to this year’s event,” said Josh Timon, Outlaw Partner’s Chief Operations Officer. “And for them to step up and donate $10,000 to the Wildlands charities is remarkable. We have some truly iconic musicians performing and the ongoing fundraising efforts for this special place we call home is a synergy that Outlaw Partners is very proud of creating through the Wildlands Festival.”
