Post Malone • Jelly Roll • April 29, 2025 • Rice-Eccles Stadium

It should come as no surprise that Post Malone opened his BIG ASS Stadium Tour right here in Utah. He loves this place. And just to continue stating the obvious, the place loves him. Salt Lake City is Post Malone’s adopted hometown and he has been well embraced since he’s made this area his home base. When this tour was announced, I wondered if Utah would make the cut. So often artists that become beloved by Utah start to neglect us on their bigger tour stops.
Sometimes when a stadium tour is announced, Utah will get passed by because we don’t have an NFL-sized stadium so the show would be much smaller than any of their other shows. But if you look at artists like Luke Combs, Garth Brooks, or U2, they still make it a point to come to a state that has loved them from the beginning. I was very happy to see that Utah would be the first show on the BIG ASS Stadium Tour.

On April 12, 2025, Larkin Poe brought their electrifying Bloom Tour to The Depot in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Nashville-based roots rock band, led by sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, delivered a powerful performance filled with grit, soul, and sisterly chemistry that left a lasting impression on the crowd. The Depot, with its intimate setting and top-tier production, was the perfect venue for a show that was equal parts heartfelt and high-energy. I’ve photographed a lot of shows at The Depot. It’s one of my favorite spots. The security team and entire staff are always awesome, and it really does feel like every show there is special.
