Twenty-nine shows will play at Salt Lake City’s Red Butte Garden over the summer — a robust lineup that includes a bluegrass/country singer with more than two dozen Grammys, rock legends and frequently returning bands that have become fan favorites.
One of the biggest names on this year’s lineup is Alison Krauss, a 27-time Grammy winner who last played Red Butte in 2011, per the venue’s concert archives.
Krauss will return to Red Butte in July — and she’ll bring her band, Union Station, and renowned dobro player Jerry Douglas along for the ride.
Singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne will also make a long-awaited return to Red Butte this summer. He last played the venue 11 years ago.
Red Butte will welcome a few artists for the first time — including Cheap Trick and “Jesse’s Girl” singer Rick Springfield — as well as several bands that have become staples over the years.
Barenaked Ladies and Train, which last performed at the venue in 2023, will both return this summer. Rockers ZZ Top and Drive-by Truckers will also return to Red Butte after last playing the venue in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Below is the full lineup for the 2025 concert series — and how to get tickets.
