Early last week, The Complex welcomed Scottish art-rock band Franz Ferdinand for an intimate sold-out show at The Grand on their The Human Fear tour. Hundreds of casual and hardcore fans came out this Monday evening to experience a set full of groovy and electric energy, with plenty of new and old songs to get everyone in the room jumping. The group put on a spectacular show by showcasing their musical expertise and joy of performing, and it was a treat to witness a very integral indie band do what they do best.

Salt Lake City doesn’t always get the wildest shows on the tour circuits, but when Remi Wolf hit The Union Event Center on Tuesday night, she blew the roof off, painted it neon, and set it ablaze. Touring on her new album Big Ideas, the California-based pop disruptor delivered a set that was as heartfelt as it was chaotic, leaving the crowd sweaty, smiling, souls healed, and wondering what just happened—in the best way possible.

Snow Patrol is a band that I have had on my list of bands I’d love to cover for quite some time. On Mar 28, 2025, I was finally able to cross Gary Lightbody and the fellas off that list. Snow Patrol played a hit-filled show at The Union Events Center in Salt Lake City on their North American Tour. I was so excited to not only be in the photo pit for the first three songs but to watch this band perform.

Friday nights are always a sacred time of the week. It’s the beginning of the weekend, and for most people, it can be the end of a long and hard week. On the night of March 28th, this particular Friday night, the place to be was at The Depot to catch Saint Motel on their Symphony in the Sky tour. With a sold-out show and plenty of fans lining up early to get into the show, there were already signs of this being a fantastic show before the doors even opened. Once doors opened at 7 PM sharp, it wasn’t long until the venue was completely filled. This was going to be a night to remember.

This last Wednesday, on a cold and crisp March night, a line began forming outside the recently opened Marquis venue in Park City, Utah. The headliner, Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners, had drawn a devoted crowd eager for a night of folk-rock bliss. With the opening of the doors, the audience shuffled in, all vying for the closest spot to the stage. There seemed to be one problem, in between the crowd and Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners set was the opener. This turned out to be no problem at all as the audience was treated to a talent-filled opening set from Briscoe, a duo hailing from Austin, Texas.

Stephen Day’s Gold Mine Tour stop on March 25th at the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City was a show that I’d been looking forward to since the day that it was announced! I have been listening to him for the past few years and have been able to see him open for Ben Rector and Stephen Sanchez, but I was more than ready for a full set of Stephen Day music!
