The two-day festival is put on in part by Big Sky promotion company Outlaw Partners and curated by Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready. McCready hit up a few friends to play the festival, and they’re not small-time friends: Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and drummer Chad Smith, and Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan.
