Lucius played an energy-filled set at The Depot with opening band Attention Bird Utopia. We here at UCR are big fans of Lucius. We’ve had the opportunity not only to cover them on past headlining tours but also their recent co-headlining tour with another favorite, Dawes. When we got the invite to attend and review this tour stop, we jumped at the chance. It should come as no surprise that this concert, just as all of our past experiences seeing these amazing vocalists and songwriters, was amazing.

As much as we love comedy here at Utah Concert Review, we don’t always get to cover comedians. I think they’re afraid that we’ll spoil their jokes. But we would never do such a thing. We’ve always felt like the comedians tell the jokes better than we ever could, so we’ll leave it to them. If there ever was a comedian’s tour that suited what we do best, it’s Fred Armisen’s “Comedy For Musicians But Everyone is Welcome” tour.

King Princess

Utah can sometimes feel like a strange stop on a national tour, especially from an outside perspective. It could be easy to assume Utah is just a quiet religious community that keeps things relatively tame, and that concert audiences would mirror that. But, as the real artists know, Salt Lake City is the complete opposite. Just under three years ago, an up-and-coming artist built a fan base from a small show in the city. So this last Friday, when King Princess rolled into The Depot, she knew what she was getting herself into. She was coming back to “some of the wildest fans” she had ever been around.

BØRNS

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing BØRNS as they made their stop in Salt Lake City on their Decade of Dopamine tour! This album, surpassing 10 years, is crazy; it was such an integral part of my early teen years! They played in the heart of downtown at The Depot, one of my favorite venues in the city. It was a sold-out show. Packed with young and grown fans, most of whom have been listening to this band for 10 years!

Everyone was dressed their best, some even in Halloween costumes, as the show was just a few days before then! I was very excited to see him for the first time, and I was taken by surprise that it was the anniversary tour of Dopamine! I sat in front of the stage, eager, just like the rest of the room, to be taken back to a nostalgic and happy time!

Lucius’ “THE GOLD RUSH TOUR” CONTINUES

Lucius will play The Depot in Salt Lake City on November 15.

Acclaimed indie-pop band Lucius have released a nostalgic coming-of-age track, “Thick as Thieves”. The track was recorded as part of the sessions for their new self-titled album, which Rolling Stone calls “the best album of their career”. Recently, the song debuted on the newest episode of Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson & Oliver Hudson where Lucius’ lead singers Jess Wolfe & Holly Laessig sat down with the Hudson siblings to discuss the new album & song, exchange stories about taking care of babies while touring (in Kate’s case, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes), and the evolution of the Lucius aesthetic. Stream “Thick as Thieves” HERE, and listen to the podcast episode HERE.

Purity Ring

Last week in Salt Lake City, Purity Ring put on a mesmerising and immersive show at The Depot! From start to finish, it was a dreamy spectacle of floating ambience and unreal visuals. The room was nearly sold out, and everyone came ready to be transported to another dimension. I was really stoked for this show as I listened to the setlist on my way to the venue! Purity Ring had definitely been on my list of artists to see, and I had no idea what to expect! I had no clue what the production was going to be, and when I saw the rows of fan-shaped lights stationary on the stage, I was very intrigued by what that was going to look like.

X Ambassadors

X Ambassadors • Delacey • September 12, 2025 • The Depot

X Ambassadors brought their VHS anniversary tour to The Depot and the SLC crowd. Delacey opened for them. Utah is always welcoming of X Ambassadors. They’ve played some great shows at The Depot in the past. This show is another one added to the list of great SLC shows with X Ambassadors.

Bayside

All the way from New York, Bayside is a rock band that is celebrating 25 years of being a band. Playing over 50 different songs over the course of two days, I was lucky enough to catch day one of their show live at The Depot. With a line out the door, the fans were not quite aware just how much of a great show they were in for that night, and as the doors opened at around 6:30 pm, it was showtime.

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.

Daniel Seavey’s high energy had the crowd jumping so hard that it felt like the floor was going to fall out from under everyone. When The Second Wind tour stopped at the Depot, fans from all over the state flocked to come see the incredible show.
