This band sold out Boise’s major outdoor venue in ’22. Now it’s coming to an indoor arena

The Avett Brothers seem to have a thing for Boise.

After selling out the Idaho Botanical Garden’s 4,000-capacity Outlaw Field months in advance in 2022, then returning to the same outdoor venue last year for another big show, the popular folk-rock band took a year off in the City of Trees.

But now they’re back. In 2025, the North Carolina-based group will return for an indoor show in downtown Boise — Thursday, April, 3, at Idaho Central Arena.

Tickets become available to the general public starting at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at Ticketmaster for $39.50 to $99.50. The special guest will be Charles Wesley Godwin.

Founded by brothers Scott and Seth Avett, the Avett Brothers released their first full-length album in 2002. The group has been nominated three times for Grammy Awards.

Locally, Idaho radio listeners might be familiar with songs such as “I and Love and You,” “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise” and “Live and Die,” which have received airplay on 94.9 The River.

Whatever the case, this should be a great night for fans. Idaho Central Arena will be set up for a large stage production with a fan capacity of 4,200, according to the promoter.
