Convergence Music Fest | Garden City
2026-07-18 18:00 - 2026-07-20 00:00 UTC | Visual Arts Collective, 3638 Osage St, Garden City, ID, 83714
JULY 18–20 at the Visual Arts Collective, Garden City, ID This July, while the rest of the Treasure Valley sweats through another empty weekend, something loud, honest, and worth showing up for is taking over the Visual Arts Collective. From July 18 to 20, CONVERGENCE brings three days of music, burlesque, food, and community to Garden City. It’s not a festival. It’s not sponsored. It’s not trying to sell you anything. Friday kicks off at 6pm and runs until midnight. Saturday and Sunday start at 3pm and carry the night to 11. Inside, you’ll find a rotating lineup of twenty-plus bands, including aka Belle, Rollerdome, Dedicated Servers, Dirt Russell, Porcelain Tongue, Big Kisses, and a long list of others who bring light to the Treasure Valley. Outside, sets during sunset from Afrosonics, Chief Broom, and Shadow and Claw stretch music outside into the golden hour. This isn’t just a music event. Den of Sin is bringing its full burlesque and drag variety show. Boise Rockeoke turns the mic over to you with a live backing band. Ashley Rose Band threads jazz, soul, and Americana into something that feels like summer without sounding like a playlist. In between, you’ll find food from local favorites like Sazon Puerto Rican Kitchen and Better Together, plus vendors slinging art, music, and oddities—popup record shop from Modern Sounds, The Snarky Swede, Ghouly Treasures, and a miniature music store from MARC among them. Real community orgs like Idaho Abortion Rights and Boise Trans Collective will be there too, doing the work without the PR spin. This whole thing is unapologetically pro-LGBTQ+ and anti-racist. It’s designed to be both high energy and deeply chill—a place to move your body, talk to strangers, and escape the heat in good company. No velvet ropes, no VIP sections, no influencer panels. Just people. Just art. Just music. Tickets are $30 for the full weekend, or $15 for a single day.

Raw, unflinching, and deeply honest, Benjamin Tod brings his brand of Appalachian folk and outlaw Americana to Boise’s Knitting Factory.

Fast-rising country phenom Ty Myers brings The Legal Tour 2026 to the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater for a night of soulful, genre-blending music. Still just a teenager when he first broke through, Myers has quickly become one of country and Americana’s most talked-about young talents — blending country, blues, folk, and rock into a sound that feels both fresh and timeless. With a rich voice well beyond his years and a rapidly growing catalog of standout songs, he’s an artist on the rise you’ll want to catch up close.
The stacked supporting bill brings even more roots-music talent: Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Brent Cobb and rising artist Benny G join as special guests, making for a full night of authentic, heartfelt music worth arriving early for.
Set against the open-air backdrop of the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater, this is summer-concert energy at its finest — a spacious outdoor venue built for warm evenings, big choruses, and thousands of fans singing along together. Grab your seats or settle into the lawn, and make a night of it.
