This new major concert is coming to Boise’s outdoor venue. Two are sold out
Flowers aren’t the only thing blooming this spring at the Idaho Botanical Garden.
The annual Outlaw Field Concert Series — Boise’s biggest summer music showcase — keeps growing, too.
Indie-folk band Big Thief has been added late in the season on Sunday, Sept. 21. That’s the 16th show announced for this year’s series. (Is that a record number at Outlaw Field? The promoter did not immediately respond, but it sure seems possible.)
Tickets to the 7 p.m. event (doors at 5:30 p.m.) become available to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday for $49.50 at Ticketmaster. A presale for Garden members begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday with tickets costing five dollars less.
Formed in Brooklyn in 2015, Big Thief is a four-time Grammy nominee. The group’s most recent album, “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You,” was released in 2022.
But it’s Big Thief’s on-stage performances that have helped elevate the band’s career. “Great on record,” The Observer wrote in a concert review, “hair-raising live.”
Here’s the rest of the Outlaw Field lineup in 2025: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit (May 17), Lord Huron (May 23, sold out), Khruangbin with John Carroll Kirby (May 29), The Black Keys with Hermanos Gutierrez (May 30, sold out), Goose (June 1), Earth, Wind & Fire (June 17), Modest Mouse (June 29), Charley Crockett (July 1), Lyle Lovett and his Large Band (July 2), Lake Street Dive (July 8), Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglass (July 23), Sam Barber (Aug. 7), The Head & the Heart with Wilderado and Ingrid Andress (Aug. 14), Chicago (Aug. 27), Cypress Hill and Atmosphere with Lupe Fiasco and The Pharcyde (Aug. 29).
