If you don’t follow current music closely, you might be taken aback or even surprised by the popularity of Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
Here’s everything you need to know: The Nashville Quintet is definitely big enough to headline a 4,000-seat outdoor venue at the Idaho Botanical Garden.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise – RKS for short – will perform at Outlaw Field on Friday, July 15, with the opening act from Houndmouth.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, February 18 on Ticketmaster.com for $42.50 standard general admission, $37.50 for Garden Members and $84 for Suite. There’s also a pre-sale for Garden members that starts at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 15.
Formed in 2013 in Boone, North Carolina, the indie-rock band – often described as “gender defying” – have been in tears lately. The same week Rainbow Kitten Surprise plays in Boise, the band will headline July 11-12 at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. Both nights sold out “within minutes of going on sale,” according to a press release.
“The band has a long history of sold-out dates,” the statement added, “with their 2019 North American ‘How To: Friend, Love, Freefall’ tour featuring 50 sold-out shows, six venue upgrades, three second nights added and over 80,000 tickets sold.This tour also included a show at Red Rocks, which sold out in less than a week.
When Rainbow Kitten Surprise traveled to Boise in 2018, it performed at the 999-capacity Knitting Factory Concert House.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is the fifth concert revealed for 2022 at Outlaw Field in Boise. Also on the program: Ween on June 28, The Avett Brothers on July 12, Khruangbin on July 13 and The Head and the Heart on August 9.
