The highly anticipated lineup for the 2025 Treefort Music Fest has been unveiled, promising an eclectic mix of musical genres across multiple venues in downtown Boise. This year's festival will feature approximately 480 bands performing over four days, showcasing a wide range of styles from indie rock to classical orchestra. Notable acts include local favorites Built to Spill and Josh Ritter, alongside international artists like Amyl and the Sniffers from Australia. The event, now in its 13th edition, continues to attract both established and emerging talent, offering attendees a unique experience that blends music, comedy, and community.

Treefort Music Fest has always prided itself on its diverse programming. Co-founder Eric Gilbert emphasizes that the festival is not limited to any single genre. "It's really about creating a space where different types of music can coexist," he explains. Attendees can expect everything from Americana and experimental jazz to hardcore punk and hip hop. The lineup includes indie darlings such as The Linda Lindas, up-and-coming artist Remi Wolf, and electronic duo Sofi Tukker. International acts like Chilean composer José Tomás Molina and Canada's Crack Cloud add a global dimension to the festival. Gilbert describes the atmosphere as one where musicians are fans and fans are musicians, fostering a sense of mutual appreciation and collaboration.

In addition to the musical performances, the festival will also host a comedy lineup headlined by Rory Scovel. This year, Treefort has made some logistical changes, reducing the duration from five to four days and consolidating stages at Julia Davis Park, alongside various downtown venues. The festival will take place from March 27 to 30, offering a more concentrated yet equally vibrant experience.

The 2025 Treefort Music Fest promises to be a celebration of diversity and creativity. With a lineup that spans multiple genres and continents, the event offers something for everyone. The shortened schedule and new venue arrangements aim to enhance the overall experience, ensuring that both performers and attendees can fully immerse themselves in the festivities. As Gilbert puts it, "It's a place where music lovers come together to share their passion, whether they're on stage or in the audience."
