I used to write an end-of-year story reflecting on my favorite concerts<\/a>. But with a 4-year-old son and 19-month-old daughter, I don\u2019t really get out these days like I used to.<\/p>\n So instead of writing about my top shows of the year, here\u2019s a look at some big music moments that happened in Utah in 2025 \u2014 ranging from rising stars to a band celebrating its 25th anniversary.<\/p>\n Last year, Post Malone<\/a> formally introduced his country music side to fans with his \u201cF-1 Trillion\u201d album and tour of the same name.<\/p>\n According to a Deseret News concert review<\/a> this past April, it was the country music that drew the loudest response when the singer performed hits from all phases of his career at Rice-Eccles Stadium.<\/p>\n It was a significant concert for Malone, simultaneously marking his first stadium show and a hometown show.<\/p>\n \u201cMoving here to this amazing state was one of the best things I\u2019ve done in my life, besides have a baby girl,\u201d Malone told his cheering fans at a Utah show last year, according to a video shared by Salt Lake-based country radio station<\/a> The Bull<\/a> on TikTok<\/a>. \u201c … I gotta say, Utah is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and I\u2019m so grateful and so honored to be a resident here, ladies and gentlemen.\u201d<\/p>\nApril 29 \u2014 Post Malone kicks off stadium tour<\/a><\/h3>\n
