Salt Lake Valley Concerts

Beyond downtown, the Salt Lake Valley's concert map runs from the shore of the Great Salt Lake to the foothills of the Wasatch. It's home to Utah's biggest outdoor stage, the 25,000-capacity Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City, along with arena tours at the Maverik Center, summer nights on the lawn at Red Butte Garden and Sandy Amphitheater, lakeside shows at The Great Saltair, an intimate room at The Commonwealth in South Salt Lake, and jazz and touring acts at the University of Utah's Kingsbury Hall.

These venues are spread out, so plan your drive and parking ahead — you'll find the details in each listing. Several outdoor stages close for the season in early fall, so check the season notes. Bookmark this page and check back often — we update it regularly.

West Valley City · 25,000 Capacity · Outdoor

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre

Know Before You Go: General parking is free, but no tailgating and no alcohol in the lots — West Valley PD enforces it. Of the 25,000 capacity, about 18,000 is lawn, so your ticket type matters more than your row. Blankets welcome; lawn chairs with legs over 5" are not. Clear tote up to 12"x6"x12" or a 6"x9" clutch, and the bagless lane is the fastest way in. No re-entry, cashless. (Still shows up as USANA Amphitheatre on older tickets and posters — same place.)

Concerts Scheduled

The 2026 season closed October 7. The 2027 season opens in late May — tickets are already on sale for these shows.

West Valley City · About 12,000 for Concerts

Maverik Center

Know Before You Go: Free parking, first-come: lots A, B and C on the grounds, lot D at 3100 South and Decker Lake Drive. TRAX Green Line to the Decker Lake station leaves a short walk. Concert capacity is about 12,000. No bags — small clutches only. No re-entry once you leave, and the building is cashless. Concerts are ticketed as the Canyon View Credit Union Stage at Maverik Center — same building, so don't second-guess your tickets.

University of Utah · Reserved Seating · UtahPresents

Kingsbury Hall

Know Before You Go: Parking is the thing to plan for — it's the most common complaint from Kingsbury patrons. Closest option is the parking terrace at 100 South and Wolcott, one block west; some performances charge, so watch for signage. Meters along Presidents Circle are enforced until 8 PM and fill fast, so don't count on them if you're arriving close to curtain. Most E, U and A campus lots are free on weekends and after 8 PM weekdays. Some events route patrons to the Rice-Eccles Stadium or Merrill Engineering lots instead — check your event page. ADA parking sits directly east of the hall, entered from Presidents Circle, first-come. TRAX Red Line to the Stadium station leaves a two-and-a-half block walk up University Street. Reserved seating throughout; programming comes from UtahPresents, and tickets run through ArtTix.

Salt Lake City · 3,000 Lawn · Outdoor · Summer Season

Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre

Know Before You Go: Free parking at the lower Garden entrance; note the Garden closes to day visitors at 5 p.m. on concert days. All 3,000 seats are general admission lawn, first-come — arrive early for a good spot. Bring a blanket (4x6 feet max) or a low-back chair: seat no higher than 12" off the ground, back no taller than 32". Picnics and small coolers are fine; no wagons, carts, or glass. Buy only from Red Butte or Etix — resellers trade on the Garden's name.

Concerts Scheduled

The 2026 Outdoor Concert Series closed September 22 with The Revivalists. Red Butte is a summer venue — it goes dark through the winter and returns in late spring, with the 2027 lineup typically announced in early spring.

Insider tip: Garden members get presale access in April, ahead of the general on-sale, and those presales regularly take the best shows before tickets ever reach the public. If there's an artist you don't want to miss next summer, a Garden membership bought by early April is the way in.

South Salt Lake · About 650 Capacity · Mostly 21+

The Commonwealth Room

Know Before You Go: Capacity about 650, with raised viewing platforms and a full bar. Most shows are 21+; all-ages nights are noted on the show page and again at checkout. No outside food or drink unless the food trucks are out front, in which case that food comes inside. No flash photography. Tickets are AXS only — the venue can't help with orders placed through third-party sellers. Also sold in person at Graywhale.

Sandy · About 2,750 Capacity · Outdoor · Summer Season

Sandy Amphitheater

Know Before You Go: Owned by Sandy City, and one of the more relaxed concert nights in the valley. Parking is free but limited, split between a west lot off 9400 South (closest to the box office) and an east lot off 1300 East by the Sandy Senior Center, with ADA spaces in both, so arrive early. Reserved seats up front and a grass lawn in back; about 2,750 capacity. Unlike most venues, you can bring lawn chairs, blankets, umbrellas, coolers (no loose ice), factory-sealed outside food and drinks, and refillable water bottles. No outside alcohol, and bags and coolers are checked at the gate. Beer is sold inside with ID and a wristband. No re-entry. The box office opens an hour before doors on show days and takes card or exact cash only. Gates usually open at 6, with shows at 7.

Concerts Scheduled

Sandy Amphitheater is a summer venue, and the 2026 season has ended. We'll post the 2027 lineup here as soon as shows are announced — bookmark this page and check back.

Magna · On the Great Salt Lake · Indoor 4,000 · Outdoor 7,000

The Great Saltair

Know Before You Go: Fifteen miles west of downtown on I-80, Exit 104 — no transit out here, so you're driving. On-site parking is paid and fills up; arrive early, and don't improvise a spot, because unauthorized parking gets towed. Two rooms: the indoor hall holds about 4,000, largely general admission standing with a balcony and VIP boxes above; the outdoor amphitheater, set alongside the building and facing the Great Salt Lake, holds up to 7,000. Which one you're in depends on the show, and it changes what to wear — the lake shore gets cold and windy after sundown even in summer. Most shows are all-ages, but policies vary by event. ADA viewing areas are available with an accommodation form filed ahead. Box office opens an hour before doors on event days, card or exact cash only.

Concerts Scheduled

No shows are currently announced. Saltair books much of its calendar through independent promoters on short notice, so shows often appear here with only a few weeks' warning and don't always show up on the major ticketing sites. Check thesaltair.com for the current schedule.

Murray · Neighborhood Bar · Local Original Music

Ice Haus

Know Before You Go: A Murray neighborhood bar since 2015 that's grown into one of the south valley's go-to spots for local original music. Bills feature Utah rock, indie and hip-hop acts. The kitchen serves American comfort food with a German twist, plus plant-based options, and the heated Biergarten stays open year-round. Band shows aren't posted on the bar's own calendar, so check its Instagram or Facebook for upcoming lineups. The rest of the week stays busy: Monday trivia at 7:30, Tuesday bingo at 7:30, free poker Wednesdays at 7, and karaoke Thursdays and Sundays at 8.
