In my personal opinion, concerts work for any occasion. Wanting a date night with your significant other? Go to a concert. A birthday gift for your best friend? Buy a couple tickets and celebrate! While some of the venues in Salt Lake have not released their lineups for 2020 yet, here are a few that are upcoming this year.
Post Malone – March 21st @ Vivint Smart Home Arena
Post Malone is claimed to be a rapper, but is famously known for dabbling in multiple genres such as pop, hip hop, rock, and country. In the past couple of years, he has moved to Utah and has performed numerous times in the past few years. Catch him this spring at Vivint Smart Home Arena.
Coin – April 1st @ Complex
One of my personal favorites, Coin is known for their indie pop style music. Their songs are easy to dance to and are filled with good feels.
Oh Wonder – April 18th @ The Depot
Oh Wonder is a duo based in London, and they are categorized in the alternative pop genre. They are most famously known for their song “Ultralife”.
Milky Chance – April 27th @ The Depot

An indie rock band that is based in California, Local Natives has all the chill music you could want.

This tour is filled with a mix of different genres, which should make for an interesting show! This includes rock, indie pop, and alternative rock.
