Highlights
May 26
Mike Ness, Jesse Dayton
The Depot, Salt Lake City: Mike Ness is the frontman of the legendary rock band Social Distortion and the epitome of a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll. He is on a solo tour to highlight his country leanings, and Austin's "turbocountry" pioneer Jesse Dayton will open in a match made in alt-country heaven. Or hell, if you don't like country-rock.
June 9
Kanye West, Rihanna
E Center, West Valley City: This tour is bigger, stronger, faster with Kanye West, Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. The hip-hoppiest concert of the summer with a bigger, stronger, faster ego.
June 28
Vans Warped Tour
Utah State Fairpark: There will be about 2,162,436 bands for the Vans Warped Tour, including Angels & Airwaves, the All-American Rejects, Reel Big Fish, Gym Class Heroes, and more Kilby Court bands that you can shake a guitar at.
July 4
Miley Cyrus
LaVell Edwards Stadium, Provo: If you don't already have tickets, better start asking around. This show is already sold out.
July 19
The Police,
Elvis Costello
Usana, West Valley City: Some band named the Fire Department is coming. Oh, not the fire department. The Police. And Elvis Presley. Oh, no, he's dead. Costello. Whoever they are.
Aug. 18
Wilco
Red Butte Garden, Salt Lake City: Jeff Tweedy was trying to break our heart until he announced Wilco is coming to Utah on a Monday. "Monday," interestingly enough, is one the band's best songs: "Choo-choo Charlie had a plenty good band but he couldn't understand why no one would go." People will go to this one.
