When Ice Cube took the stage at the Maverik Center for his Truth to Power: Four Decades of Attitude Tour, the atmosphere was electric—charged with the weight of history, legacy, and raw energy. The night was a guided tour through the evolution of West Coast hip-hop, led by one of its most uncompromising architects. Cube turned the arena into a living museum of rap, balancing nostalgia with urgency, and proving that four decades into his career, he still knows how to command a crowd. I remember listening to N.W.A. and later Ice Cube solo albums with my best friend in high school. He had an amazing car stereo, and we would play these songs so loud in our Los Angeles suburb. This concert was a trip down memory lane for me. Ice Cube did not disappoint.

One of my least favorite things about summer coming to an end is outdoor concerts and summer concert series coming to a close.  One of the best and one of our favorite summer concert series is the one at Red Butte Garden Amphitheater.  Summer in and Summer out, the Red Butte Outdoor Concert Series brings an impressive roster of musicians to their majestic venue.  It always feels like the end of a school year. The people we’ve seen all summer at the garden part ways until the next series.  We were fortunate enough to see some spectacular concerts this summer.  Our final show at Red Butte was one of the most entertaining.  OK Go brought their “And the Adjacent Possible Tour” to Red Butte Garden for the penultimate show of the summer series.

Billy Idol

Billy Idol has always been the embodiment of rock and roll swagger—spiked hair, leather-clad attitude, and a sneer that became iconic in the MTV era. Decades later, he still carries that same magnetic energy on stage. His recent stop at Utah First Amphitheatre on his “It’s a Nice Day To… Tour Again! tour, proved that time has only sharpened his presence rather than diminished it. Backed by the ever-flawless Steve Stevens on guitar and a band that blended precision with raw power, Idol delivered a set that celebrated both his hits and deeper cuts, while nodding to his punk beginnings and wide-ranging influences.

Train played an outstanding show at the sold-out Red Butte Garden Amphitheater on the cool summer night of September 9th, 2025. The crowd was filled with excited fans of all ages, all decked out in train merch. A few fans in the audience were even wearing train conductor outfits, and when complimented on their outfits, would make a train horn noise, a very fun nod to the band performing.

On a warm late August evening in Sandy, Utah, Teddy Swims stepped onto the stage at the Plaza at America First Field. They transformed an ordinary Thursday night into something that felt like a close-knit community gathering. Touring on the I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy part 2 – the follow-up to his breakthrough 2023 record – Teddy Swims once again proved that he’s not just a singer with a crazy range, but also a storyteller who sings with every ounce of soul.
