SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Music festival season has officially kicked off — with the first weekend of Coachella wrapping up — and, here in Utah, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to experience big names onstage at a fraction of the price.
On Monday, the lineup for the 37th Twilight Concert Series in Salt Lake City was announced — featuring artists like Laufey, Jungle and The Marías, just to name a few.
Season passes go on sale beginning Tuesday, April 16, at 10 a.m., while tickets for individual shows go on sale starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17.
Season passes for general admission are expected to come out to around $80 after taxes and fees (for an average cost of about $13 per show) while VIP season passes will be about $275 after taxes and fees (for an average cost of about $46 per show).
Service fees are shown on the ticket website, but taxes are not shown until going through the ticketing process, so the prices may differ slightly. All shows will take place at the Gallivan Center except for The Marías, who will perform at Library Square.
Performance dates, individual ticket prices and more information about the performers are all included below.

One of their most popular songs is “Golden Embers” and they have hundreds of millions of streams on several of their songs.
One of the opening acts has yet to be announced, but Branson Anderson is another local singer. Anderson is from Nevada and spends most of his time in Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.
