You’ve probably seen the news by now: The 2026 Kilby Block Party lineup is major. Next year is really shaping up to be an exciting one for concerts in Salt Lake. Here’s a look at some of the best shows to mark on your calendar.

Pro tip: It may be risky, but try buying tickets the day of. You’ll likely score a better deal last minute from people reselling tickets they can’t use or from the venue trying to fill empty seats.

I’ve been a Brandi Carlile fangirl since she was playing more intimate shows at The Depot, and now she’s selling out arenas around the world. She’s bringing “The Human Tour” to the Delta Center on Tuesday, Feb. 24, with special guests The Head and the Heart.

Lorde is headlining Kilby Block Party, marking her first time performing in Utah. And Hayley Williams will take the stage for her first solo appearance here sans Paramore. Catch all the acts May 15-17 at The Utah State Fairpark.

The British darling Olivia Dean has gone viral on social media with songs like “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love).” She’ll be at the Maverik Center on Wednesday, July 22. Tickets go on sale today at 10 a.m. — get ‘em before they sell out!

I didn’t know much about Hannah Berner until I watched her on “Good Hang with Amy Poehler” and lol-ed my way through the whole episode. Hannah is performing standup comedy at Kingsbury Hall on Sunday, March 29.

What concert are you looking forward to next year?
