Two more major outdoor concerts are coming, Boise. This act sold out last time

Gearing up for summer, Outlaw Field and the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater have revealed two more outdoor concerts coming in 2026.

Blues-rocker Bonnie Raitt is headed back to Boise.

And dancing violinist Lindsey Stirling will visit Nampa again.

A 13-time Grammy winner — 14 if you include her Lifetime Achievement Award — Raitt will return to the Idaho Botanical Garden’s Outlaw Field for a concert on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Stirling will headline the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater on Tuesday, Aug. 4, with opener PVRIS.

Raitt sold out 4,000-capacity Outlaw Field in 2022 with guest Mavis Staples. A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the singer-guitarist is known for hits such as “Something to Talk About,” “I Can’t Make You Love Me” — and John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery,” a fan favorite.

Raitt’s concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30, at Ticketmaster for $79.50 standard general admission. There’s also a presale starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27, for $74.50 for Garden members.

Tickets to Stirling’s performance (7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show) also become available to the general public starting at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30, through fordidahocenter.com for $39.50 to $109.50. Presales start at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27.
