Treefort Music Fest 2023 first wave lineup includes more than 185 emerging and renown artists hailing from 25 states and 15 countries – with more to be announced in the coming months!

Treefort’s Main Stage headliners include fresh and familiar bands, including groovy psych rockers UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA and you better be ready for some girl blunts with the oh-so-fierce, anonymous rapper LEIKELI47, then light it up again for veracious country star (and author) MARGO PRICE, platinum melodic surf rockers SURF CURSE will keep ya on your dancin’ feet, and we’ll all be crossing our fingers for the “beatbox flute” from dreamy R&B performer CAUTIOUS CLAY!

In addition to the Main Stage, there will be over 20 venues in Downtown Boise poppin’ off with bands from all over the globe during the five days of Treefort Music Fest.
