Dirtwire Announces Return to Bozeman in 2026
The pioneers of swamptronica — Dirtwire — are bringing their Universal Language Tour to The ELM in Bozeman on Friday, April 24, 2026!
Blending global roots music with deep electronic grooves, Dirtwire bridges ancient tradition and modern technology to craft a sound all their own. Described as back-porch space cowboy blues, electro-twang and swamptronica, the band weaves instruments like kamale ngonis, jaw harps, and bowed banjos into rich bass lines and pulsing beats for a truly cross-cultural experience.
Want a taste? Check out songs like “Sailing the Solar Flares,” “No More,” and “GoGo.” Their latest album, Pyrochrome, released in 2024, includes standout tracks like “Cantaloupe” and “Hey There Papa,” and they recently dropped a new single, “Ankaa,” featuring CloZee.
Dirtwire has built a loyal Montana following through their mesmerizing, high-energy performances—each show a communal, psychedelic journey of deep sonic exploration (photos).

ABOUT DIRTWIRE
Dirtwire stands poised between ancient Mother Earth and modern technology, a blend of ethnomusicology and the psychedelic trance state, gut-bucket delta blues and what the band variously dubs “back-porch space cowboy blues, swamptronica, and electro-twang.” It’s a sound informed by Dirtwire’s travels and performances around the globe, where East meets West and North joins South. From the favelas in Brazil, Femi Kuti’s Shrine in Lagos, Tokyo’s bluegrass clubs, Ayahuasca ceremonies in Central America, Gamelan performances in Bali, desert festivals in the Australian Outback, and the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s modernized new capital Astana, the band spreads its message by building bridges across musical cultures in their own unique way.
