It’s been another tour that has been a long time coming. Another tour that was affected by the pandemic. I knew it was going to be another tour that was well worth the wait for many reasons. There were five bands on the lineup and all of them were crazy in their own way. It was an insane night. The show was just two hundred tickets away from being a sold-out show. It felt like one the entire night thanks to all the bands, their crew, and all the fans. I was familiar with every band on this lineup. I’ve seen them all perform live more than once. I was certain the energy was going to stay crazy and consistent the entire night.

An Evening With Michael Bublé 2021 North American Tour

Reviewed by Kevin Rolfe

When you buy tickets to a concert, the show already seems so far away as it is.  Throw in four, yes, four rescheduled dates, and the anticipation for that show has grown to an all-time high.  Either that or you kind of expect the show to never actually happen!  For me, it was the first feeling.  Michael Bublé, one of the biggest entertainers in the world, finally made good on his tour stop at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Now, the postponements and reschedules weren’t really his fault.  The pandemic is to blame for that.  I think Bublé and his team were optimistic that things would get better quicker than they did, hence the hopeful new dates.  But as I walked past the long line to enter the arena, I could see the excitement on everyone’s face.

Gojira, Knocked Loose, & Alien Weaponry at The Union

Reviewed by Maralee Nielson

A rainy cold night in Salt Lake City rapidly turned into a hot, sweaty, and energy-filled night. All thanks to Gojira, Knocked Loose, and Alien Weaponry. October 11th, The Union Event Center was filled with metalheads all alike. Ready for the return of live music, and more or less ready to rage. Salt Lake City was the first night of the tour with the full lineup. As doors opened and fans rushed in, a good handful was running towards the front of the barricade (as venue staff was yelling ‘NO RUNNING’) but another handful running to look at merchandise, and another going up to the bar to pick out the best overlook of the stage. Soon enough the venue was pretty packed and anxious for the show to begin.

I was experiencing some major dé jà vu last week when Angels & Airwaves made it to Salt  Lake City for their Lifeforms tour! They were playing at The Union Event Center once again, a  whole year and some days later since the last time they were here in 2019! Now that concerts and live music are back, the crowds are more eager and excited than ever to see their favorite artists perform. When you have a legend like Tom DeLonge in the house, you know it’s gonna be an incredible show and an amazing night!

It had been well over a good year and a half since I had been to a show at Kilby Court.  I was very much excited to be back. Especially for a sold-out show. When I  arrived at the venue the line was stretched down the alleyway.  Everyone was buzzing with excitement for the show and ecstatic that Chloe Moriondo was playing a small enough venue where they could have a small and intimate show with the artist. I was going into this show with absolutely no idea who any of the artists were or the genre of music being played.  While waiting in line I spoke with a few of the fans. They went on to explain that tonight’s show is mainly indie pop. Listening to everyone talk about Chloe and seeing the way they lit up with excitement brought it out in me!

Celebrating 21 Years of Really Bad Luck with Bayside

What started off with what was supposed to be 20 years of bad luck quickly turned into 21 years of REALLY bad luck. With the tour being originally planned for 2020 but thanks to the pandemic the band postponed and rescheduled the tour. What’s one more year? After a whole year’s wait, I was excited to finally see this tour happen.  It was one of the best put together tours I’ve seen. From the concept of this tour leading to the setlist and the lineup.

Salt Lake City’s beloved venue Kilby Court celebrated its 22nd anniversary by throwing its second annual Kilby Block Party this past weekend. With such a wide variety of artists playing the event, you could say I was extremely excited to spend the day in SLC listening to live performances. Concert presenters Sartain and Saunders closed off 700 south, placing the main stage right on the entrance to Kilby Court, and down the road facing it was the Spyhop stage.

It’s hard to believe.  When I first saw the lineup for the Red Butte Garden Outdoor Concert Series 2021 I thought how far away the final show with Emmylou Harris seemed.  I was excited for so many shows in the lineup, but I remember thinking ‘I’m not missing Emmylou”.  And I’m so glad I didn’t.  She was the perfect artist to close out this incredible series.
