As anticipated, Post Malone and Jelly Roll’s “Big A$$ Stadium Tour” was the concert event of the summer in the Treasure Valley. The Albertsons Stadium show was reportedly the highest grossing, single-day event in the state’s history.

Dierks Bentley also shattered an attendance record at the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater when 10,536 fans showed up to sing along to “Drunk on a Plane,” “5-1-5-0” and his other unforgettable hits.

And Eric Church? We’re not sure if he set any sort of records at ExtraMile Arena this past October, but the crowd did lose their minds when he mentioned that his son was considering going to Boise State after high school.

Personally? I’m so excited about one announcement that I’m planning on seeing them three consecutive months in a row - once at Denver’s famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in June, near my hometown in Pittsburgh in July and here in Boise in August. O.A.R. is my favorite band of all time and they’re celebrating the band’s 30th anniversary at the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater on August 14. Even better? They’re bringing Gavin DeGraw with them, which should thrill every other One Tree Hill fan as much as this one! (BTW for all of you Negative Nellies on Facebook, O.A.R. has sold out Madison Square Garden. They're incredible and you should check them out!)

Albertsons Stadium hasn’t announced a stadium concert yet, but we feel like it’s imminent. They’re already charting new territory by hosting Banana Ball and the Hot Wheels Monster Truck Show in 2026. 

Treefort Music Hall, Ford Idaho Center, Outlaw Field and ExtraMile Arena already have concerts on the books and we know there are more on the way from Revolution Concert House, Idaho Central Arena and the Knitting Factory. Plus summer festivals like the Boise Music Festival, along with the Canyon County Fair, Western Idaho Fair and Albertsons Boise Open are all trying to lock down their 2026 line-ups right now! 

So which shows have already been announced? Here’s your sneak peek!
