“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. The entire west side of Salt Lake was shaking from the audience jumping along to the songs during the sold-out show on November 13^th.

On October 11th, the Utah First Amphitheatre was treated to night one of three shows by Imagine Dragons. The band is technically from Las Vegas, but we here in Utah know that they wrote many of their early hits and gained a large following here in Utah. More specifically Provo, Utah often performing at Velour Live Music Gallery. From that time on, Utah has been an area that has been most loyal to Imagine Dragons. Hence the multi-show residency.

Alternative band, more specifically Dream Pop band, Cigarettes After Sex returned to Utah just over a year after they played a sold-out show in Ogden. Cigarettes After Sex was part of the 2023 Ogden Twilight Concert Series lineup. Not only were they part of the lineup, but the show was one of the most anticipated in the series. The show sold out and people were paying a premium on the second-hand market just to get in. While I wasn’t surprised that the band would be returning to Utah soon. I must admit that I did not anticipate them playing the Delta Center. Not only did they play the premier venue, they sold it out!

Last Wednesday, Salt Lake welcomed the lovely John Vincent III to The Commonwealth Room for ‘The Roadtrip’ tour! It has been at least five years since John played in Utah, so it was a treat to have him back. I have loved his music since I discovered him in 2019, and I was stoked to finally see him live. It was also the first attending a show at Commonwealth, and it did not disappoint! It’s a cozy intimate venue with a few bars and an outdoor patio. I arrived just as the show started and was able to get up to the front for an amazing view!
