Blistered Earth takes the stage at 8:30 p.m. Local metal groms Squid Bomb will open the show with their debut performance at 6:30!Formed in December of 2009, Blistered Earth is the best Metallica tribute band on the planet (we checked!). Playing classic songs ranging from 1983’s’Kill Em’ All’, to 1991’s self-titled’Metallica’ this tribute pays it’s respects to one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time with the raw energy, showmanship, look and song selections that die-hard Metallica fans want to see and hear, they are the ultimate tribute to Metallica.Over 10 years ago Scavenger played their first show at the Broken Spoke Bar in Big Sky. The riff-heavy metal band has played more than 150 shows since then at venues around Montana and beyond, showcasing their original material. Their first album, Cliff Manor, was released in 2018, and the quartet released their second album Feral last year. The band members – which include Timmy Bowers on drums/vocals, Ben Blodgett on bass/vocals, Joey Mathis on guitar, and Brent Philippi on guitar/vocals – have been part of the Big Sky community for decades.Squid Bomb is a local teen metal outfit featuring drummer Cannon Welch and guitarist Sid Leydig, along with bassist Kael Gilbert. This will be the band’s first show!
