Nov. 18: Modest Mouse at The Wilma
Modest Mouse has already sold out this show in Missoula. The show is part of The Lonesome Crowded West Tour — an intimate set of dates celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of what has been hailed as one of the greatest indie records of all time.
Last year, fans got the chance to see Modest Mouse rock the KettleHouse Amphitheater to a nearly sold out crowd.
It’s going to be a special experience witnessing Modest Mouse play an intimate show back at The Wilma.
