About Treefort 2027
Treefort Music Fest takes over downtown Boise every spring. The Main Stage, Hideout and Bandshell sit in Julia Davis Park, dozens of clubs, bars and halls around town carry the rest of the bill, and the Forts (Alefort, Comedyfort, Filmfort, Kidfort, Yogafort and more) run alongside the music. The 2027 edition runs Wednesday March 31 through Sunday April 4 and marks 15 years of the festival.
The first wave, posted October 15, 2026, has more than 180 artists from 18 countries and 28 states. Modest Mouse, Thee Sacred Souls, Orville Peck, Jesse Welles and Courtney Barnett top it, with one more headliner still to be announced. Under them are horsegiirL, Slow Pulp, Waylon Wyatt, All Them Witches, LP Giobbi, Joy Oladokun, Kenny Mason, Natanya, Enter Shikari and Eartheater.
Most of the bill is club acts on the way up, spread across the downtown venues, with a strong Boise contingent among them. A full festival pass covers every stage, venue and Fort; a Park pass covers only the three stages in Julia Davis Park, which close around 10pm. Kids 12 and under get in free.
Expect indie rock, rock, folk and alternative across 188 acts.
