On July 30, The Lumineers brought their Automatic World Tour to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre to promote their newest album. With them, they brought their signature mix of emotional storytelling and foot-stomping folk energy. The excitement was felt long before the music started. Merch lines stretched far, and fans were chatting with friends while anticipation grew. Many came dressed in nods to the band’s aesthetic. Including plenty of flower crowns in tribute to their hit “Flowers in Your Hair.”

This summer has been an absolutely exciting one for music lovers. With the Salt Lake City Twilight Concert series continuing its granola summer, Waxahatchee was yet another amazing show. As the summer itself is nearing the end, with only a few more Twilight shows left in Salt Lake, Waxahatchee was the perfect show to keep the music and the fans going strong.

August concerts started off on a good note with Regina Spektor bringing her Midsummer Daydream Tour to Sandy Amphitheater. It was a hot August night, as you might expect. But that didn’t stop fans from filling the amphitheater. Utah seems to really love Regina and her music. I’m glad she keeps coming back. And judging by the size of the crowd, she’ll always have a fanbase here.

Toad the Wet Sprocket brought their Good Intentions 2025 Tour to the beautiful Red Butte Garden Amphitheater on Monday, July 28. The Jayhawks and 90s contemporaries, Sixpence None the Richer, joined them. Red Butte Garden Amphitheater was sold out and filled with concertgoers on blankets before the show. People were eating, drinking, and conversing as the excitement grew for the concert. Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman, Glen Phillips, last appeared in Utah at the Capitol Theater on a co-headlining acoustic tour with John Craggie. That was a great night of storytelling and music. He told us then that he would be back this summer with the band. I heard a number of people talking about that show and how much they enjoyed it. They also included how much they were looking forward to seeing the full band on this tour.

Band of Horses performed at the Ogden Amphitheater with Wet World and Blind Pilot on July 30^th. I was really excited to cover this show. I have been a fan of their music for a while but have yet to see them live. In 2008, my favorite artist, Kid Cudi, released his debut mixtape. This mixtape includes a song titled “The Prayer,” which is a sample of “The Funeral” by Band of Horses. Through this mixtape, I discovered the band, which led me to purchase Everything All The Time on vinyl.

The Utah Symphony has been busy this summer. The Deer Valley Music Festival has been filled with a variety of great performances. From artists like Lindsey Stirling, to the music of Disney, to The Beach Boys, the symphony shows their range and brings great performance after great performance to the Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater at Deer Valley. July 26 was no exception. Two great Tony-Award Award-winning Broadway Stars, Sutton Foster and Kelli O’Hara, graced the Park City stage. It was a special night for fans of musical theater. Getting to see two of the best performers Broadway has to offer in our state for one night doesn’t happen here all the time. The show was well attended, and the audience was totally entranced by these vocalists.

With over 16 years of music-making, six studio albums, and seven major tours under their belt, iconic indie-pop band Fitz and the Tantrums took the stage with high energy from the very start.

Monday night’s crowd spanned a wide range of ages, a testament to how Fitz and the Tantrums’ music resonates across generations and serves as a soundtrack to many lives, regardless of age or background.

Alison Krauss and Union Station

Bluegrass legends Alison Krauss and Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas, have reunited. They hit the road for the first time in a decade. Earlier this year, they released their eighth studio album, “Arcadia.” They brought their tour of the same name to Red Butte Garden Amphitheater on July 25. I can’t think of a better pairing of band and venue. I have seen Alison Krauss before, so I knew that this would be an amazing night of music. However, seeing her with Union Station is an altogether different experience. One that I knew I wanted to check off the list. Am I ever glad I did.

On July 22, 2025, AJR brought their “Somewhere in the Sky Tour” to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre, and the energy was electric from the very beginning. The pop band made up of brothers, Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met, drew in fans of all ages, including many teens, young adults, and families. Fans were decked out in AJR merch, and I spotted quite a few trapper hats just like the one that lead singer Jack is known for. Before the music even started, long merch lines stretched across the plaza, and excited chatter about past tours and hoped-for songs filled the air.

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre was packed all the way to the fences for a really fun night of Country Music.

Giving Country fans a variety of vocalists and musicians at varying degrees of their careers. And what would a Keith Urban concert in Utah be without some weather concerns?
