SALT LAKE CITY — One of the great things about warmer weather is the chance to see so many of your favorite artists in the fresh air, under the stars.
With a huge local music scene, and venues that appeal to national acts, there are hundreds of options this summer for music lovers to enjoy — free, cheap, pricey — and all outdoors.
The Twilight Concert Series, now in its 27th year, announced its lineup Thursday. Featuring artists like Beck, Lauryn Hill and The Head & The Heart, the shows are sure to draw the massive crowds they have in the past.

Tickets for the Twilight Concert Series are $5.
