For most who grew up playing Halo on the Xbox, Breaking Benjamin is a legend in the rock and roll scene, and for nearly 30 years, they have curated a die-hard fanbase that filled the entire Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater. With a lineup of bands such as Starset and Chevelle, this show was about to be a perfect night for fans of this genre of music.

Coheed & Cambria played their final headlining show of the year – minus a couple of festivals still left – here in Salt Lake City at The Complex, with direct and only support from The Home Team.

Coheed holds a special place in my musical palette, being that they were part of the first concert I had ever been to. I was 12 years old or so and in the 7^th grade when my dad bought us tickets to see Linkin Park, Coheed & Cambria, and others on their Minutes to Midnight tour. Reflecting on it now, I’m having a hard time believing that will have been 20 years ago in 2027. At the time, Coheed didn’t have quite the musical catalogue that they do now. With three albums under their belts, including 2005’s Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. – Anyone figure out what that means yet? No? Me either.

Chance The Rapper performed at The Union Events Center on Tuesday, September 29, as part of his Coloring Book 10th anniversary tour. Going into the show, I knew Chance’s songs, but I definitely wasn’t as familiar with his music as many of the fans in the audience. I came in as a listener and left as a fan.

LØLØ brought her unique combination of pop-punk attitude, sharp humor, and brutally honest songwriting to Metro Music Hall in Salt Lake City. She made a huge impression last year when she opened for Simple Plan in Sandy. I was excited to see her out on her own headlining tour. It’s really great to see the momentum building for LØLØ. As I walked into Metro Music Hall, I could see fans already in great form. They were dancing and even singing to the songs coming through the speakers. I could tell this was going to be a fun night.

We are nearing the end of Utah First Credit Union’s season of concerts and with the last handful of shows, Five Finger Death Punch was a perfect addition to the lineup. Though the weather brought on a little bit of rain and a temporary lightning delay of the show, the fans refused to shy away from getting to see this performance. As the crowd filed back in from seeking shelter from the lightning delay, it was time to prepare for a lineup of music that can only be described as musical whiplash in more ways than one.

I had the wonderful opportunity to see Darius Rucker at the Utah State Fair on Thursday, September 17th at the Days of ’47 Arena. Rucker has a loyal fanbase here in Utah. When the announcement was made that he would be playing the State Fair, I imagine people made their plans to get inside the venue where they usually watch the rodeo to see one of their favorite artists.

“Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown”

My first exposure to Rob Zombie was many years ago; I was – and am still very much – into video games as a kid. In 2003, I was gifted a game called “NHL HITZ 2003”. I pulled the wrap off, put the disc into my Nintendo GameCube, and began to play what would become still one of my favorite games. The Major reason being the soundtrack. It was loaded with Powerman 5000, Incubus, Rob Zombie, and other noteworthy metal acts of the time. I quickly found that in the settings you could deselect any songs that you didn’t want on the playlist rotation; I turned off every single song besides “Feel So Numb” by Rob Zombie. It looped again and again during my NHL HITZ gaming sessions.

Mother Nature had other plans for Friday night in Sandy. Weather pushed back the start of Foster the People’s Good Mourning Sunshine Tour stop, and by the time Goth Babe took the stage, the crowd had spent a good portion of the evening waiting under a temperamental sky, and spirits were running low.

Role Model’s Chuck On Tour stopped by Beddy’s Plaza at America First Field on September 15^th.

It’s been about a year since I attended a concert at Beddy’s Plaza at America First Field. I was excited to be back because I remember the atmosphere being so alive and energetic. Beddy’s Plaza was a perfect location for Role Model’s biggest headline tour to date. When I arrived at America First Field, I immediately noticed the long line at the merchandise tent. The plaza was already packed and full of fans wearing the Chuck On Tour merch. I also noticed a lot of Fans wearing their own decorated apparel with the words “WHAT THE CHUCK”, “LOVE I YOU”, and “CHUCK FEVER”.

Kilby Court might only hold about 200 people, but amidst the SLC stop on greek’s ongoing North America and Europe tour, it felt like the entire building was overflowing, from inside the venue to the courtyard to the merch booth. This was, without a doubt, one of the most packed shows I’ve ever seen at Kilby Court, and every single person smushed inside was there for one reason. That reason was clear and apparent as soon as the show began. As someone who was unfamiliar with greek, I was beyond pleasantly surprised and impressed by this band and this performance.
