Volume Way Up

There are a lot of music festivals out there, but there aren't many like the Inlander's

Volume Way Up
Young Kwak
The raucous scene last year at the Terrain stage.

Big festivals. Small festivals. Fests for every proclivity and taste. Like jam bands? There's a festival for you. Hip-hop? No problem. Want to take in some bluegrass or folk or country, or all three? Someone out there has got you covered.

But there aren't many festivals like Volume. The Inlander's annual celebration of all things music boasts a two-day lineup of 100 or so bands, performing at venues within a half-mile radius of one another and covering every genre imaginable. And it's all only $25. How many festivals can boast that kind of deal?

For this year's festival, our sixth, we've added a new venue into the mix: a 30' x 24' outdoor stage by the Steam Plant, which will also be host to two food trucks and a Terrain-organized beer garden. And while we're unbelievably psyched to have Boise's Built to Spill as our big headliner, there are more than enough acts — local, regional and touring — on this lineup to satiate anybody's sonic palette.

To read about all the bands playing this year's Volume festival, get more information about where to buy your passes, learn about Terrain, the festival's charity partner, and more, visit the official Volume website.
