The Crane Wives came to the Rockwell at the Complex in Salt Lake City on their Act 2 tour! The crowd was buzzing from the moment the doors opened. Dozens of fans were sprinting to the barricade, excited to be up close and personal with The Crane Wives. While fans went running into the Rockwell, which was quickly filling up, others rushed to the merch line. Which ended up being a huge line both through the opening act along with the line still being full throughout The Crane Wives’ headlining set. The fans were selling out the merch fast in Salt Lake.

“This may be the best night of your life so far, fingers crossed, and I say so far because life is very long and it’s also fleeting, if you want me to get deep with it, but for real it means the honest world to us that you guys came here and put us on this stage right now. So thank you Salt Lake City, make some MTF noise!” shouted Mitchel Cave, the lead singer for Chase Atlantic. The energy inside of the Rockwell at the Complex was electric when both Chase Atlantic and 24kGoldn took the stage.
