Idaho Center is already revealing outdoor shows in 2025. This one, Boise, is very ‘Weird’
Summer concert season isn’t over yet in Boise, but the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater already is looking ahead to 2025.
The outdoor venue has revealed that parody rocker “Weird Al” Yankovic will bring his Bigger & Weirder tour to Nampa on Saturday, Aug. 9.
It’s the amphitheater’s second new show announcement in the past seven days. Country star Thomas Rhett also will perform there next year — on Sept. 19.
Tickets to Yankovic’s concert start at $39.50 and become available to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday at fordidahocenter.com. Puddles Pity Party will be the opening act.
Known for decades of silly comedy tunes, “Weird Al” is a master of skewering pop culture. His hits range from “Eat It” (a parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”) to “Amish Paradise” (inspired by Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”).
A tour announcement on Yankovic’s website describes the concert as a “legendary full-production multimedia rock show.” It will feature him “playing his iconic hits as well as some never-performed-live-before fan favorites. Al’s longtime band is joined by four additional players to create a super-sized concert experience.”
Yankovic also will perform a Gem State show next year Friday, Aug. 8, at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls.
