Girls of all ages were flocking to see Lauren Spencer Smith play for her first time in Utah at the Union Event Center! This was one of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard and seen, even before the artists started to play; everyone was screaming along to the preshow playlist of Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, and Benson Boone. The crowd was so loud that they were impressing the touring crew of Smith’s, who then came out to video the crowd singing “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone, as they were so loud it could be heard from all throughout the building. It was clear that the night was going to be extremely fun, passionate, and exciting for fans.

Swedish occult rock icons Ghost brought their Skeletour World Tour 2026 to Utah. What made this evening different from a typical concert was not just the draw of the music itself, but the ritualistic atmosphere Ghost has crafted around their live performances. It’s a spectacle that blurs the line between show and ceremony.

“My name is Leon Thomas, and I like to dance.” 

Standing before what looked like a sold-out audience at The Depot last Thursday, R&B sensation Leon Thomas turned to the crowd to offer a brief introduction before launching into his performance. The succinct greeting was a reminder that, to many, Leon Thomas is not an artist needing an introduction. While the New York native has steadily gained traction online since the release of his debut album Electric Dust, he is no stranger to the spotlight. Thomas got his first start as Tyrone in Backyardigans, a familiar show to most kids who grew up in the 2000s. He then continued his tenure in children’s TV, playing a sentimental, loyal character named Andre Harris in Nickelodeon’s Victorious. Now, Leon is celebrating the release of his Grammy-clad album Mutt on tour, joined by fellow R&B singer Ambré.

An awareness that a decade of work has shaped them into performers who know exactly who they are and what their audience wants. The show feels like both a milestone and a love letter to the fans. Those who have followed them, to the craft they’ve sharpened, and to the cinematic-pop style they’ve spent ten years refining.
