SALT LAKE CITY — ’Tis the season for major concert announcements.
On Tuesday, five big-name artists announced plans to come to Salt Lake City in 2020: Mandy Moore, David Crosby, Wilco, Sarah McLachlan and Post Malone. Here’s a rundown of the concert dates and when tickets go on sale.
Mandy Moore: The fall finale of “This is Us” drops tonight, and along with that, Moore has announced she will be performing at the Eccles Theater on May 8 — her first tour in over a decade. The singer/actress, who is currently on the big screen for her role in the war film “Midway,” released her first two singles in a decade — “When I Wasn’t Watching” and “I’d Rather Lose.” The songs come from her forthcoming album, expected out next year. Tickets for Moore’s concert go on sale Nov. 22 at 10 a.m.
David Crosby: Crosby visited Utah earlier this year for the premiere of his documentary, “David Crosby: Remember My Name,” at the Sundance Film Festival. This raw documentary explores how at 78, Crosby continues to make his own music — a resurgence the documentary calls a “curious renaissance.”
“It’s the only thing I’ve got to offer,” says Crosby, who has fallen out with former friends and bandmates Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young.
Crosby performs at The Commonwealth Room on May 21. Tickets go on sale Nov. 21 at 10 a.m.
Wilco: Wilco has been around for 25 years now, and to celebrate that quarter-century milestone, the band is hitting the road on a tour that stops at the Eccles Theater March 16. The current lineup includes original bandleader Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt. Wilco released its 11th album, “Ode to Joy,” last month, and its concert in Kansas City Sunday night featured eight songs from the album. Tickets go on sale Nov. 22 at 10 a.m.
Sarah McLachlan: McLachlan, the singer behind emotional ballads like “I Will Remember You” and “Angel” — cue tear-jerking animal cruelty commercials — comes to the Eccles Theater on Feb. 13. In a career spanning three decades, McLachlan has won three Grammy Awards, sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and been a voice for women in the music industry. Tickets go on sale Nov. 22 at 10 a.m.
Post Malone: A week after performing at Vivint Arena, Post Malone has announced he will be returning to the arena on March 21 — which isn’t too surprising since the 24-year-old rapper now calls Morgan County, Utah, home. Tickets go on sale Nov. 22 at 9 a.m.
