As summer draws near its end, concertgoers packed the outdoor stage of The Great Saltair Saturday evening to catch the Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour featuring All-American Rejects. The sun began to set over the water as The Get Up Kids started the night off. I wasn’t super familiar with their music but I know that they had a few big punk rock hits. They came out and got the energy nice and warmed up. It was a great set.

When I walked into The Union on September 21st for Reneé Rapp’s Snow Hard Feelings Tour, a smile was immediately brought to my face as I noticed that the concert hadn’t even started yet, but people already seemed to be having a good time just being there. Various pop songs played over the speakers from, “Satellite,” by Harry Styles too, “Cruel Summer,” by Taylor Swift, which the crowd loudly and passionately sang/yelled along to!

In Salt Lake City, the anticipation for Daniel Caesar was very strong. The night promised not only the soulful music of the Canadian R&B sensation but also the upcoming sounds of Orion Sun as the opening act. The Complex was the choice of venue, and it did not disappoint. Salt Lake really showed out for this sold-out show. The Complex released small batches of tickets the day of the concert to try to maximize capacity, which I hadn’t seen before. It was impressive the amount of fans Daniel has here in Utah.
