Do you ever wonder how traditions start?  Is it something you’ve done for a few years and haven’t noticed, then once you have you decide that you’ll be doing it from then on?  Or maybe it’s something that was happening long before you arrived and you are continuing.  Many of my traditions started unintentionally.  For example, I covered the Trans-Siberian Orchestra back in 2018. Little did I know that I would be returning to the Delta Center every year since, to review this band in late November.  It’s a tradition I did not expect but have embraced.

Alternative band, more specifically Dream Pop band, Cigarettes After Sex returned to Utah just over a year after they played a sold-out show in Ogden.  Cigarettes After Sex was part of the 2023 Ogden Twilight Concert Series lineup.  Not only were they part of the lineup, but the show was one of the most anticipated in the series.  The show sold out and people were paying a premium on the second-hand market just to get in.  While I wasn’t surprised that the band would be returning to Utah soon.  I must admit that I did not anticipate them playing the Delta Center.  Not only did they play the premier venue, they sold it out!

In 2023 he also collaborated with Eslabon Armado on a song titled “Ella Baila Sola” which became one of the most streamed songs around the world. Peso Pluma has played a big part in the corridos tumbados movement which translates to trap corridos.

Melanie Martinez is a musical force that cannot be stopped.  It seems with each tour she gets bigger and bigger.  From being a contestant on season 3 of the acclaimed singing show, The Voice to selling out major arenas on her recent Trilogy Tour, Martinez is a force to be reconned with.  I had the opportunity to see Melanie on her last stop in Utah on her Portals Tour at the Sandy Amphitheater.  I was impressed with her fanbase then, but that was nothing compared to what I saw inside the Delta Center on May 18.  The arena was filled with devoted fans dressed up as nymphs, fairies, and baby dolls.  Glitter and sparkles were everywhere.  Outside of a Taylor Swift Concert, I haven’t seen so many fans dressed up.

On Saturday, March 9th, multi-platinum pop-rock band LANY, brought their A Beautiful Blur tour to The Delta Center in the heart of Salt Lake City. The Los Angeles-based band consists of lead vocalist Paul Jason Klein and drummer Jake Clifford Gross. The duo performed an incredible and non-stop entertaining show to a packed house. The band made it clear that their top priority was their fans. Although it was LANY on stage, they kept the crowd in the spotlight all night. The way Klein interacted with the audience was above and beyond what I typically see at concerts, and it brought an exciting energy to the show. I am convinced that the connection between the band and its fans is a big reason they have such a loyal following.
