SALT LAKE CITY — Red Butte Garden's popular Outdoor Concert Series is back this year with 30 new performances and one rescheduled show, including a blast of nostalgia.
This year's headliners include Alabama Shakes, Bonnie Raitt, Herbie Hancock, Interpol, Maren Morris and the Totally Tubular Festival, which bunches together several artists with hits in the 1980s, event organizers announced on Tuesday.
"We're so excited for 31 amazing nights in the amphitheater this summer," Red Butte Garden wrote on social media.
The Outdoor Concert Series is one of the longest-running outdoor series in the state, having debuted in 1987.
This year's season will begin with Big Head Todd and The Monsters, who will be performing at the Red Butte Garden and Arboretum Amphitheatre, 2188 E. Red Butte Canyon Road, on May 31. The season ends with The Revivalists performing on Sept. 22.
But organizers had previously announced some of this season's headliners before Tuesday. Its June 11 show featuring The Human League with Soft Cell — a pair of '80s pop powerhouses — has already sold out.
Ray LaMontagne, who was forced to cancel his performance during the 2025 Outdoor Concert Series because of an unexpected surgery, will perform with The Weather Station on Aug. 23. Tickets from last year's show, which was sold out, were carried over to this year.
Tickets for almost every other show will go on sale later this month.
Artist and Red Butte Garden member presale tickets for all shows between May 31 and July 29 will go on sale on April 20, before going on sale for the general public on April 24. Presale for shows for the rest of the season will begin on April 27, with access to the general public on May 1.
Costs for members range from $45 to $100 per ticket, or $50 to $105 for the general public.
