Ready for hits, Boise? Two more major outdoor concerts are coming this summer
Boise concert season will rock this summer — and it just got louder.
Two more shows have been announced: one each at the area's two major outdoor venues.
Grammy-winning pop-rock acts Toto and Christopher Cross will perform Thursday, Aug. 28, at the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater in Nampa.
And Cypress Hill and Atmosphere will bring hip-hop to Outlaw Field at Boise's Idaho Botanical Garden on Friday, Aug. 29. Lupe Fiasco and the Pharcyde will open.
Known for hit songs 'Africa,' 'Hold the Line' and 'Rosanna,' Toto was a radio powerhouse in the 1970s and '80s — and remains so today on classic-rock stations. Cross is another ubiquitous hitmaker, famous for his early '80s smashes 'Ride Like the Wind,' 'Sailing' and 'Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do).'
Tickets to the Toto and Cross concert become available to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday starting at $39.50 through fordidahocenter.com. Presales will run throughout the week, according to a press release.
Formed in 1988, Cypress Hill went on to become one of the most recognizable West Coast hip-hop acts. Unforgettable hits such as 'How I Could Just Kill a Man' and '(Rock) Superstar' — along with the group's high-profile support for cannabis — cemented Cypress Hill's legacy.
With roots back to 1996, Minneapolis duo Atmosphere has earned a die-hard following through relentless touring and prolific music output.
General-admission tickets to Cypress Hill and Atmosphere become available to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday for $60 at Ticketmaster. Garden members will pay $55 during a presale that begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Miley Cyrus hid cost of drugs from accountant by disguising them as vintage clothing purchases
Miley Cyrus concealed the cost of drugs from her accountant during the making of her 2015 album by disguising them as high-end vintage clothing purchases. The 32-year-old singer and songwriter, whose battles with drink and drugs have been well-documented, made the admission during an appearance on the Every Single Album podcast. Speaking about the period surrounding her experimental album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, Miley said: 'We called (drug purchases) vintage clothes. And every time (my accountant) saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' 'It's like, 'Oh, it's upstairs.' So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.' The Grammy-winning artist went on to explain to avoid suspicion, she would tell her accountant the garments were 'really delicate' and needed to be stored away to 'protect' them. She added: 'I'm so glad I survived that time in my life. I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I'm very glad I got to do it.' Miley, who rose to prominence as a Disney Channel star before launching a highly successful music career, has long been candid about her relationship with drugs. In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, she said: 'Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs – social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom.' In 2017, she revealed she had gotten sober after rekindling her relationship with then-partner Liam Hemsworth. She told Billboard magazine: 'I haven't smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I've ever (gone without it,) I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now!' But in November 2020, Miley acknowledged that she had relapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking publicly at the time, she confirmed the setback but said she had resumed sobriety within two weeks. Miley has also recently been in the headlines over a rumoured rift with her country-rock singer father Billy Ray Cyrus, but other reports have said the two have quietly reconciled.

Terry Pheto leads tributes to Tsotsi star Presley Chweneyagae: ‘He was part of my beginning'
Tears flowed freely among the hundreds gathered to honour the life of Oscar-winning actor Presley Chweneyagae, who recently passed away at the age of 40, at the State Theatre in Pretoria. According to a family spokesperson, the Tsotsi star died at his Pretoria home on 27 May following breathing difficulties. Speaking at the memorial service, actress Terry Pheto fought back tears as she remembered her former co-star from the film that launched both their careers. 'Presley was more than a colleague – he was part of my beginning and somehow the end of a beautiful full-circle moment in my career,' she said. 'We worked together on my very first film. We were just kids back then – young, hungry and full of dreams we couldn't even articulate. And yet, there he was, carrying the weight of that story.' Presley rose to international fame for his lead role in Tsotsi, which won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. He later became a fixture in South African television, with celebrated performances in The River and Cobrizi. Thabiso Ramotshela, who played Presley's son on The River, broke down while speaking about their bond. 'I miss him so much,' Thabiso said. 'I feel like it's so unfair. It hurts so much because as much as he is not my father, he is my dad. That man raised me. He took care of me. When things got hard on set – Youngins or Blood Legacy – he would call me.' Presley is survived by his wife, Charlaine. 'Charlaine, don't worry. We had a chat, and you said to me, 'Zenzo, don't ever forget these kids.' And I said to you, 'Charlaine, don't worry. I am here,'' close friend and fellow actor Zenzo Ngqobe said to Presley's wife in his moving tribute. 'To Pres – we shall meet. There, we may rehearse most obscenely and courageously. Take pains. Be perfect. Adieu,' he added. Friend Vuyisile Tshabalala remembered Presley as both a national treasure and a brother. 'We lost a giant, an artistic genius. But the show must go on . . . you are a great man. To me, you were like a brother. Rest in peace.' As the memorial service drew to a close, a family representative read aloud a message from Charlaine. 'I would like to thank [Presley's mom] Mama Agnes Keagile for your undying support, my parents, Mr and Mrs Allen, for being there throughout. My brother-in-law Reobone, my sister-in-law, my sister Ndumiso for being my pillar of strength and my go-to girl during this difficult time. My entire Eswatini family, the list is endless, but I'm truly, truly grateful for the support you have shown me.' Presley was remembered not just as an actor but as a gentle giant, a father figure to many, and a creative force who helped shape South Africa's entertainment landscape. He will be laid to rest on 7 June in Pretoria.

Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance While Attending Wedding With Travis Kelce is Turning Heads
Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance While Attending Wedding With Travis Kelce is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Pop star Taylor Swift stole the spotlight over the weekend, not with a performance, but with her stunning look at a private wedding she attended with boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' star Travis Kelce. The couple was seen in Nashville, Tennessee, at Swift's friend's cousin's wedding, quietly enjoying time among friends and family. However, it was the 14-time Grammy winner's appearance that had fans buzzing online. Photos and videos from the event quickly spread on TikTok and X, showing the pop star in a sleeveless baby blue floral midi dress paired with brown wedges. But what caught fans' attention the most was her hair; styled in soft, loose curls. 'She looks so beautiful! Look at her hair!!' one fan wrote. 'I love the curls omg,' another posted. A fan chimed in, saying, 'HER CURLSSS, I'M IN LOVEEEE.' 'HER HAIR,' another simply said. Others were quick to make the connection to her early music era, with one person exclaiming, 'THE DEBUT CURLS ARE BACK.' One fan also pointed out how the moment felt extra special, writing, 'Yesss we love a pic that Taylor is aware of!! And the curly bangs.' One video showed Swift and Kelce swaying in their seats during the newlyweds' first dance. In the clip, Swift gently bumped Kelce to the beat, prompting a smile from the NFL star as he joined in. Kelce, dressed in a light olive green and white striped short-sleeved shirt and brown pants, kept things casual. A zoomed-in photo later showed Swift standing nearby, chatting with other guests while Kelce walked ahead. Swift and Kelce, who have been dating for nearly two years, have been spotted more often lately. They've had several public dinners in Palm Beach, Florida, and were seen together at Harry's Bar and Buccan just weeks ago. As the wedding video continues to gain views online, fans are showing love for the low-key, joy-filled moment shared by the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
