Treefort Music Fest Postpones 2020’s Treefort 9 Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

Treefort Music Fest has officially postponed its 2020 edition of the festival to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Boise based festival was originally set to take place in March of this year, but was initially postponed to the fall of 2020 because of the virus. The new dates for the festival are set for September 22-26 of 2021. The festival intends to resume its normal scheduling in March in 2022, taking place from March 23-27.

Eric Gilbert, Treefort Music Fest Director, explained the decision to further postpone the festival, noting, “it has become clear that hosting Treefort in 2020 is no longer viable for us and March 2021 is feeling too risky for an event as big and dynamic as ours, given there are so many unknowns currently regarding the trajectory of the pandemic. We’ll be hard at work over the next year helping our community and ourselves get through this and looking forward to seeing everyone at Treefort 9 in September 2021.”

Treefort has not yet announced its official plans for patrons who have already purchased tickets for the festival, but multiple options are expected to be announced sometime next week. More information can be found here.

While the lineup included the likes of the Chromatics, Tennis, Japanese Breakfast and many other bands, the official 2021 lineup has yet to be announced.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
