After a pair of calendar years that were dinged-to-damaged by the effects of Covid-19, large-scale concert series are back to being announced with regularity this spring. And one of Salt Lake City’s leading summer concert series has unveiled its 2022 lineup, with shows beginning not-so-long from now, in mid-May.

The Red Butte Garden Concert Series (300 Wakara Way) begins on Wednesday, May 18 with a performance by Kaleo, along with Bones Owens in support. Hot on the heels of that show will be the Trey Anastastio Band’s arrival on Friday, May 20; speaking of hot, that show’s already been sold out. The 30-concert series, as presently envisioned, ends with a double-bill of Melissa Etheridge and Keb Mo’ on Tuesday, September 20.

The shows feature a range of acts from the heroes of the 1980s (Ultravox’s Midge Ure with Howard Jones; The Psychedelic Furs with X; Boy George & The Culture Club); blues (Bonnie Raitt with Mavis Staples; Buddy Guy with John Hiatt); classic rock (The Black Crowes; ZZ Top); and a full-night New Orleans throwdown headed up by Trombone Shorty.

Tickets for an initial run of concerts have become available; additional shows will be available at later dates. As in past seasons, tickets for Garden members are discounted at $5 for most of the shows.
