The Aces, Little Moon and Goldmyth play Provo's Rooftop Concert Series. Free, All Ages
7pm. Details here. 

After a six-year hiatus, one of downtown Provo’s favorite summer traditions returns in 2026 with free outdoor concerts complete with the same spirit that made the series a solid contribution to Provo’s music scene for a decade.

Originally founded in 2010 by Sarah Wiley, Mindy Gledhill, Courtney Kendrick, and Justin Hackworth, the Rooftop Concert Series began as a simple idea: bring great live music to downtown Provo and make it free for everyone. What followed was ten years of packed summer nights, unforgettable performances, and a growing sense that something special was happening in the middle of the city.

From emerging local bands to nationally recognized artists, Rooftop helped spotlight the creative talent coming out of Provo while giving families, students, neighbors, and music fans a place to gather.

Now, thanks to the support of the McGowan Family Foundation, the Rooftop Concert Series is returning for a new generation of concertgoers.

KRCL's Music Meets Movies returns with a packed season of great documentaries, concert films and yet another great reason to get together. We kick off the season with a classic, 1970's GIMME SHELTER.

"Called the greatest rock film ever made, this landmark documentary follows the Rolling Stones on their notorious 1969 U.S. tour. When three hundred thousand members of the Love Generation collided with a few dozen Hells Angels at San Francisco’s Altamont Speedway, Direct Cinema pioneers David and Albert Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin were there to immortalize on film the bloody slash that transformed a decade's dreams into disillusionment." -Criterion Collection

Fun fact: George Lucas (of Star Wars) was an uncredited cameraman on the film. 

Local indie rockers, Cardinal Bloom are out on tour and doing a special hometown show at The Depot on Saturday, September 26. You've heard them on KRCL, now see them in downtown Salt Lake City.

In 2024, they released their debut full-length album The Only Place I've Ever Known, solidifying their signature style. With ongoing touring and new releases, Cardinal Bloom continues to stand out within the contemporary indie rock scene.

“Everything they did worked together to absolutely nail that dusty Deseret sound—one that sits in between pop, rock, and folk.” -Zach Collier (Provo Music Magazine)

Their members include Joey St. John on guitar and vocals, Josh Thomas on guitar, Nate Adair on drums, and Levi Wunderlich on bass.

Robert Plant returns to Salt Lake City with Saving Grace and Rosie Flores on October 8, 2026 at the Abravanel Hall. Details and tickets here.

Robert Plant brings his acclaimed project Saving Grace to the stage for an unforgettable evening of roots-inspired music that bridges the past and present. Joined by vocalist Suzi Dian, guitarist Matt Worley, guitarist Tony Kelsey, drummer Oli Jefferson, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, Plant explores a rich musical landscape shaped by folk, blues, gospel, country, and traditional song. Together, the ensemble breathes new life into timeless material while uncovering fresh possibilities within these beloved genres.

Originally formed as a grassroots collaboration in the Welsh borderlands, Saving Grace grew organically from a shared passion for musical discovery. The group’s sound is both intimate and expansive, weaving together haunting harmonies, hypnotic rhythms, and masterful musicianship. Their repertoire ranges from centuries-old traditional songs and spirituals to inventive interpretations of contemporary artists, creating performances that feel both deeply rooted and strikingly original.

For Plant, whose legendary career spans decades and includes his iconic work with Led Zeppelin, Saving Grace represents a creative revelation. Rather than looking backward, the group celebrates the living, evolving nature of folk and roots music, offering audiences a captivating journey through songs of love, loss, hope, and resilience. The result is a powerful and deeply moving concert experience that showcases one of rock’s most celebrated voices in an entirely new light.
