Albertsons Boise Open to host 3 major concerts — with $35 tickets. Here’s who’s coming
You don’t have to be a golf fan to love the Albertsons Boise Open.
But it helps to be a music fan.
Each summer, the tournament offers top-notch golf during the day, followed by affordable concerts from major acts in the evening.
So who’s coming this year?
Darius Rucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Brothers Osborne will perform. The shows will happen immediately after Korn Ferry Tour action ends on the first three evenings of the tournament, which is Aug. 14-17 at Hillcrest Country Club, 4610 Hillcrest Drive.
Concerts will happen alongside the 18th fairway at the golf course. Admission is included in the price of daily tournament tickets and four-day passes. Daily tickets are $35 for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and $10 for Sunday’s final round. Four-day passes for the entire tournament are available for $90. Visit AlbertsonsBoiseOpen.com to buy tickets, which become available starting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 25.
▪ Singer Darius Rucker will kick off the concerts on Thursday, Aug. 14. To fans of pop and rock music, Rucker is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for Hootie & the Blowfish, a band that’s sold more than 25 million albums across the globe. To country fans, he’s the Hootie guy who crossed over to their genre, got inducted into the Grand Ole Opry — and landed massive hits such as “Wagon Wheel.”
▪ Legendary Southern rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd will headline Friday, Aug. 15. When the band delivers the classic line, “Well, its eight o’clock in Boise, Idaho,” the crowd will lose its mind. Guaranteed. “With a catalog of over 60 albums, billions of streams, tens of millions of records sold, and the introduction of Hell House whiskey, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remain a cultural icon that appeal to all generations,” a press release said.
▪ Country siblings Brothers Osborne will be the attraction Saturday, Aug. 16. Multiple winners of Vocal Duo of the Year from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association, they are known for hits such as “Stay a Little Longer,” “It Ain’t My Fault” and “Shoot Me Straight.”
Always a summer highlight in the Treasure Valley, the Boise Open is promoted and put on by Jeff Sanders Entertainment.
