Utah Concert Review had the privilege to cover Ben Rector’s last stop on his The Richest Man in the World Tour at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on November 15th! It’s been said that this will be his last full band tour for a few years, so the combination of those things made it feel like an extra special occasion! Ben was joined by a band native to Utah, The National Parks. Utah fans love both acts, so it was destined to be a good night!
As much as we love comedy here at Utah Concert Review, we don’t always get to cover comedians. I think they’re afraid that we’ll spoil their jokes. But we would never do such a thing. We’ve always felt like the comedians tell the jokes better than we ever could, so we’ll leave it to them. If there ever was a comedian’s tour that suited what we do best, it’s Fred Armisen’s “Comedy For Musicians But Everyone is Welcome” tour.

Utah can sometimes feel like a strange stop on a national tour, especially from an outside perspective. It could be easy to assume Utah is just a quiet religious community that keeps things relatively tame, and that concert audiences would mirror that. But, as the real artists know, Salt Lake City is the complete opposite. Just under three years ago, an up-and-coming artist built a fan base from a small show in the city. So this last Friday, when King Princess rolled into The Depot, she knew what she was getting herself into. She was coming back to “some of the wildest fans” she had ever been around.

Margo Price, joined by Leon Majcen, brought her Wild Heart Tour to the Commonwealth Room in Salt Lake City on November 11th. I wasn’t familiar with Margo prior to the show, but I have heard rave reviews, so I was excited to see what the show had in store!
When I arrived at the venue, I loved that the atmosphere felt laid back and calm! It was filled with people, mostly a bit older than I was, which may have contributed to that. Even though they were calm, their anticipation was palpable!
Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing BØRNS as they made their stop in Salt Lake City on their Decade of Dopamine tour! This album, surpassing 10 years, is crazy; it was such an integral part of my early teen years! They played in the heart of downtown at The Depot, one of my favorite venues in the city. It was a sold-out show. Packed with young and grown fans, most of whom have been listening to this band for 10 years!
Everyone was dressed their best, some even in Halloween costumes, as the show was just a few days before then! I was very excited to see him for the first time, and I was taken by surprise that it was the anniversary tour of Dopamine! I sat in front of the stage, eager, just like the rest of the room, to be taken back to a nostalgic and happy time!

The touring production of SUFFS arrived at Eccles Theater in Downtown Salt Lake City with a burst of energy, conviction, and theatrical confidence that makes it one of the most engaging new musicals of this season of Broadway at the Eccles. The show, which dives into the final chapters of the American women’s suffrage movement, balances history with emotion in a way that feels both entertaining and unexpectedly urgent. What makes this touring version particularly striking is how it manages to retain the intimacy of the story while embracing a broader national audience.

Acclaimed indie-pop band Lucius have released a nostalgic coming-of-age track, “Thick as Thieves”. The track was recorded as part of the sessions for their new self-titled album, which Rolling Stone calls “the best album of their career”. Recently, the song debuted on the newest episode of Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson & Oliver Hudson where Lucius’ lead singers Jess Wolfe & Holly Laessig sat down with the Hudson siblings to discuss the new album & song, exchange stories about taking care of babies while touring (in Kate’s case, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes), and the evolution of the Lucius aesthetic. Stream “Thick as Thieves” HERE, and listen to the podcast episode HERE.
A couple of weeks ago, Salt Lake’s local gems, The Moss, kicked off Halloween with their headline show at The Complex! These boys have always put on incredibly fun and dynamic performances. Tyke James is a stellar frontman. They are so full of life and energy, playing groovy bangers to get everyone jumping! They love to put on a good Halloween celebration, and everyone dresses up! The crowd of young and older fans came ready to party!
We are excited to welcome Journey back to Delta Center on April 12, 2026. Tickets go on sale Friday November 14 at 10 am. Please find the official announcement from AEG below.
