Red Butte Garden’s Outdoor Summer Concert series has scheduled 30 concerts at the Salt Lake City venue, featuring 36 headlining acts that cover a wide range of musical genres.
Tickets for the series, marking its 37th summer of music, will range in cost from $40 to $95 per ticket, according to a representative at Red Butte. Tickets will be sold in two separate “waves” — each of which will cover a different set of concerts.
