A Cultural Movement For Live Music

Over the past few years, Salt Lake City has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as a true force on the national touring circuit. What was once considered a secondary stop between major markets is now a sought-after destination for some of the most celebrated artists in the industry. The city has seen an influx of top-tier talent, from intimate indie showcases to massive arena spectacles, solidifying its reputation as a must-visit for both established and rising musicians.

The momentum is undeniable, and NinetyEight has been on the front lines, documenting the evolution of this vibrant scene. With over thirty-five concerts in our backlog, we have witnessed firsthand the energy and emotional depth that define live music in Salt Lake City.

As the city continues to evolve, its music scene is no longer an afterthought but a real destination. The energy inside Salt Lake’s venues is unmistakable - audiences here don’t just watch performances; they immerse themselves in them. They sing louder, connect deeper, and bring a raw enthusiasm that lingers long after the final encore. Artists recognize this passion, and time and time again, they return - not out of obligation, but because Salt Lake’s crowds leave an impression.

With every concert we capture, NinetyEight is not just documenting moments - we’re preserving a movement. The story of Salt Lake City’s live music scene is being written in real time, and we are proud to play a role in showcasing its growth, its energy, and its undeniable impact. We are in the midst of a golden era of live music in Salt Lake City - one that is only just beginning.

We’ve had the privilege of capturing the performances of artists like Daniel Caesar, JP Saxe, Josh Turner, Em Beihold, Lewis Capaldi, Lil Yachty, Stephen Sanchez, Lauv, Noah Cyrus, Journey, Matt Maeson, Valley, Teddy Swims, and Jacob Collier, among many others. Each show has been a testament to the growing stature of Salt Lake City as a premier touring destination.
