The Union Events Center in Salt Lake City transformed into a dreamlike electronic oasis as Cannons and Bob Moses brought their co-headlining “Afterglow Tour” to a packed and enthusiastic Union Events Center. The evening offered two distinct but complementary musical experiences, blending shimmering synth-pop, atmospheric grooves, and dance-infused rhythms into a night that felt both intimate and expansive. Fans arrived early and stayed engaged throughout, creating an energy that steadily built from the first notes of Cannons’ set to the final moments of Bob Moses’ headlining performance.

The Format • Phantom Planet • April 11, 2026 • The Union Events Center

The indie rock revival has brought plenty of beloved bands back to the stage in recent years, but few reunions have felt as genuinely emotional and rewarding as seeing The Format return to Salt Lake City for a packed night at The Union Event Center. From the moment fans began filling The Union long before showtime, it was clear this wasn’t just another stop on the Boycott Heaven Tour. For many in attendance, this concert felt deeply personal. It was the soundtrack to high school memories, late-night drives, heartbreaks, and the kind of nostalgia that only certain bands can create.
Fans of The Format have been patient. Like many bands, the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in The Format’s attempt at a return. A tour had been announced, postponed, rescheduled, postponed, and ultimately canceled. So I’m sure you can imagine the anticipation for this tour and this particular concert.

Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, joined by Jordan Moyes, sold out The Commonwealth Room in Salt Lake City on Sunday, April 19th. Upon my earlier-than-usual arrival to the show, I was surprised and grateful to secure the last parking spot in the venue’s immediate parking lot when there are typically several spots open even minutes before show time! That was an indicator of just how popular this event was among the people of Salt Lake!

On March 26th, 2026, Ashnikko made her stop in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the Union Event Center as part of her Smoochies tour, and it was surely a night to remember. This was not her first time in Salt Lake City, and it won’t be her last. The show was completely sold out, with people lining up since early in the morning, decked out to the nines in outfits, makeup, fun little hats, and covered in trinkets because every Ashnikko fan is most definitely a “little trinket girl.” If you know, you know.
