He sold out here in ’21 and ’23. He’s returning, Boise — for two ‘incredible’ arena shows

After packing his Ford Idaho Center concerts in 2021 and 2023, a popular crossover country star will return to the same arena in 2025.

But this time, it’s for “two incredible nights,” as the Nampa venue puts it.

Kane Brown will bring “The High Road Tour” to town on Friday, March 21, and Saturday, March 22, giving a larger number of Boise fans the opportunity to see him — or even see him twice.

Tickets become available to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 18, for $49.50 to $179.50 through fordidahocenter.com. Mitchell Tenpenny and Dasha will open. An Idaho Center Insider presale starts Thursday, Oct. 17.

Brown’s last two concerts sold out and packed in 8,950 and 9,500 fans, respectively, according to Ford Idaho Center General Manager Andrew Luther.

Brown, 30, might not be your parents’ favorite country singer. Like the tattoos that cover his body, this is by design. He’s the kind of breakthrough country star who has amassed more than 5 million TikTok followers. The kind who draws young, massive crowds of fans — many who love pop and hip-hop. In 2021, he was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world. “Kane Brown didn’t fit the country music mold,” a New York Times headline observed. “So he made his own.”

Brown’s hits include songs such as “Heaven,” “What Ifs,” “Be Like That” and “One Thing Right.”
