DRINKURWATER plays Treefort Music Hall on Thanksgiving Eve

The bass producer's first Boise show since 2023 lands Wednesday, Nov. 25, the night before the holiday.

The night before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest going-out nights of the year: everyone is home, nobody has work in the morning, and the old crew is looking for somewhere to be. This year in Boise, one answer is DRINKURWATER at Treefort Music Hall.

DRINKURWATER plays Treefort Music Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 25. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets run $15 to $150 through DICE. The date was announced Oct. 27 and is the producer's first Boise show since Sept. 16, 2023, at the Knitting Factory Concert House.

A lot happened after that 2023 visit. In 2024, DRINKURWATER released the album RIPPLE and took it out on The Ripple Tour, billed as the artist's debut headline run, with stops in Atlanta, San Diego, Brooklyn, Grand Rapids, Orlando, Dallas, Denver, Milwaukee and Portland, according to EDM Identity. Magnetic Magazine covered the tour announcement alongside the single "BODIES," which arrived that August. Earlier, the Movement EP came out on WAKAAN, the bass label, as Magnetic noted in its coverage of the artist.

So the DRINKURWATER coming back to Boise is not quite the one who played the Knitting Factory. That show came before RIPPLE and before the first headline tour, and a bass artist's live set tends to change a lot once there is an album's worth of material and a full headline run to build it on.

Treefort Music Hall holds about 700, which is a good size for this kind of night. It's big enough for a real sound system and a crowd with energy, small enough that it never feels empty. Ticket tiers run from $15 at the bottom to $150 at the top, so look at what each tier includes; the low end makes this one of the cheaper ways to spend the holiday eve out.

Everyone is home, nobody has work in the morning, and the old crew is looking for somewhere to be.

Boise does the night before Thanksgiving well. It is the one night a year when the people who moved away and the people who stayed end up in the same room. A three-year gap between visits, a new album since the last one and a 700-person room on the biggest reunion night of the year: that sounds like a good place to run into somebody.
