On August 21, 2026, fans of all ages gathered at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City for a night full of songs that have been around for decades from Toto, Christopher Cross, and The Romantics! Luckily, the summer storms that could have brewed and threatened the events of the night kept their distance so all could proceed as normal!

On August 12, Myles Smith took the stage at The Complex in Salt Lake City and delivered the kind of concert that felt bigger than the venue itself. From the opening moments to the final song, the energy in the room was impossible to ignore. What stood out most was the crowd. Fans appeared to span every age range, from children as young as seven to adults in their seventies, all sharing the same excitement and singing along to every word.

Tuesday night, August 11, in Salt Lake City, Passion Pit played a wonderful show at The Complex on their ‘The Pretty Penny Tour’! They were originally set to play in April, but that show was sadly postponed. Fans were eagerly waiting for their return, which absolutely paid off because the energy in the room was so joyful! The last time they played here was 2019! The crowd showed up early for the opener, Arden Jones, and hung out chatting with increasing excitement as showtime neared!

On a beautiful summer evening at the Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater in Deer Valley, Broadway, Film, and Contemporary music converged in an amazing setting on a memorable night with Idina Menzel and the Utah Symphony. Surrounded by the mountains and the natural beauty of Park City, the setting provided an almost perfect backdrop for an artist whose voice has become synonymous with some of music’s most powerful and recognizable moments.

If there’s one thing Salt Lake City knows how to do, it’s show up for Andy Grammer.
On August 3, Red Butte Amphitheatre was packed for a sold-out night of music, dancing, singalongs, and plenty of feel-good energy as Andy Grammer returned to one of his favorite Utah crowds. And judging by the number of people on their feet, Salt Lake City was more than ready for him.

Ogden Twilight • Wet Leg • August 5, 2026 • Ogden Amphitheater
Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe
Just two days before their amazing set at Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, Wet Leg brought its unique brand of indie rock to the Ogden Twilight Concert Series. The British band kept the crowd engaged with infectious melodies, quirky lyrics and a performance that never took itself too seriously.
There is something refreshing about a Wet Leg concert. The band can be funny without becoming a comedy act. Nothing feels forced. Their humor, tight playing and high energy all seem natural to the performance. Judging by the totally sold out Ogden Amphitheater, this is a style a lot of people are drawn to.

Death Cab for Cutie • Nation of Language • July 28, 2026 • Sandy Amphitheater
Reviewed and Photographed by Alisha Gregson
Death Cab for Cutie proves the past and present can share the same stage at Sandy Amphitheater. There are some bands whose music becomes intertwined with different seasons of life. For many, Death Cab is one of those bands. Judging by the sold-out crowd at Sandy Amphitheater on Tuesday, July 28, their music still hits just as deeply today as it did decades ago. Originally scheduled for a single Utah date for their I Built You A Tower tour, the demand was so high that a second night was added quickly. I had the opportunity to attend night one.

Motionless in White • Lorna Shore • Fit For a King • Static Dress • August 7, 2026 • America First Field

I went to my first concert back in 2007, and I’ve been attending shows ever since, which is almost twenty years of experience and many, many shows under my belt. Motionless in White with support from Lorna Shore, Fit for A King, and Static Dress at the America First Field has been added to my list of “Most Memorable”. Some of those reasons are obvious while others will defy expectation.

Sarah McLachlan • Allison Russell • July 30, 2026 • Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre
Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe
There are certain artists whose music seems to age alongside us. Sarah McLachlan is one of those artists. Her songs have been part of weddings, breakups, quiet nights, road trips, and countless personal milestones. Hearing these songs performed live can feel like revisiting pieces of your own life. I have very specific memories of being both introduced to her music and moments where her music was a soundtrack of sorts to certain moments in life.
