Puscifer and Dave Hill played a thrilling and theatrical show. Returning to Utah once again, Pucifer this time played at the Maverik Center in West Valley City for the Normal Isn’t Tour.
Bush played a nearly sold-out show at the Complex in Salt Lake City with opening acts Mammoth and James and the Cold Gun, after the show had been moved from the Maverik Center.
Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, joined by Jordan Moyes, sold out The Commonwealth Room in Salt Lake City on Sunday, April 19th. Upon my earlier-than-usual arrival to the show, I was surprised and grateful to secure the last parking spot in the venue’s immediate parking lot when there are typically several spots open even minutes before show time! That was an indicator of just how popular this event was among the people of Salt Lake!
“The Fantasticks”, known as the World’s Longest Running Musical, presented by Timp Arts, will be playing at The Valentine Theater in American Fork through April 25. This all-time beloved musical began Off-Broadway in the 1960s and ran for 17,162 performances until 2002. It was then revived from 2006 to 2017. Over the years, The Fantasticks cast has included notable Broadway actors such as Jerry Orbach, Burke Moses, and Rita Gardner, to name a few. I really enjoy this musical. I adored the Timp Arts production.
Lucy Darling delivered a show that blurred the lines between magic, comedy, and character-driven theater. The Eccles Theater’s polished design and intimate seating created the perfect setting for a performer whose strength lies not just in illusion, but in personality and presence.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mega hit musical “Phantom of the Opera” is playing at Eccles Theater until April 26. I had the opportunity to see this production on Friday, April 10. I thought I knew what to expect. I’ve seen “Phantom” a few times over the years. I have always enjoyed it. I figured, going into Eccles Theater last weekend, that I’d be seeing something similar to what I had seen in the past. While the show is still the show you might know and love, I felt like everything I had seen before was enhanced. This was “Phantom of the Opera” on a whole new level.
LANY has developed a special relationship with the state of Utah. From their early days playing Kilby Court to multiple Delta Center stops to headlining last year’s Electric Revival Fest and everywhere in between, LANY has been a staple in the live music scene here in Utah. They even played a secret album release show at The Depot a few years back. We have had the honor of covering LANY since 2019. Every time we’ve covered them, we’ve witnessed the special bond between this band and their Utah fans.
There’s something almost ritualistic about experiencing Hadestown live, and its recent stop at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City felt less like a night at the theater and more like being invited into a haunting, intimate storytelling circle. From the moment the first notes drifted through the hall, the production established a mood that was equal parts smoky jazz club and mythological dreamscape, pulling the audience into its underworld with quiet confidence.
Trey Kennedy brought a night of comedy that felt both intimate and effortlessly entertaining. His stop in Salt Lake City showcased a comedian who has successfully made the leap from digital fame to the live stage, delivering a performance that resonated with a wide-ranging audience without ever feeling forced.
On March 26th, 2026, Ashnikko made her stop in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the Union Event Center as part of her Smoochies tour, and it was surely a night to remember. This was not her first time in Salt Lake City, and it won’t be her last. The show was completely sold out, with people lining up since early in the morning, decked out to the nines in outfits, makeup, fun little hats, and covered in trinkets because every Ashnikko fan is most definitely a “little trinket girl.” If you know, you know.
