A sold-out Noah Kahan show on Aug. 25 packed an estimated 25,000 fans into America First Field, underscoring Sandy's home stadium as more than a soccer venue.

Miller Sports + Entertainment, which owns the stadium at 9256 S. State St., has 11 live music events planned at America First Field in 2026. The company's spokesperson, Jenny Teemsma, told The Salt Lake Tribune the venue typically hosts eight to 12 concerts a year and has previously welcomed KISS, Paul McCartney and The Eagles.

"As we look ahead, our goal is for America First Field to be a year-round destination and a venue of choice for artists, promoters and fans in Utah," Teemsma said.

Kahan's Sandy stop was one of his final four North American dates on The Great Divide Tour, which had moved more than 873,000 tickets and nearly $144 million through Aug. 9, according to Pollstar. The Vermont singer-songwriter, whose hit "Stick Season" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, headlined a 56,000-seat Rose Bowl show in Pasadena on Aug. 15 before arriving in Sandy.

America First Field is smaller than Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City and LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, but its long floor allows for an extended general admission area. Kahan used that space, moving between a main stage, a B-stage and a C-stage closer to the back of the crowd. His set opened as the evening sky turned deep blue, with a house-shaped stage backdrop flickering behind him.

"This is one of my favorite places in the world to make music and to play music," Kahan told the crowd.

In the plaza, fans wrote notes on a large board and left voicemails on yellow phones as part of Kahan's nonprofit mental health foundation, The Busyhead Project. Kahan also referenced an early-career performance at The Depot in Salt Lake City and told the audience he loves dirty soda.

Openers Gigi Perez and Annabelle Dinda performed before Kahan took the stage at 6:30 p.m. Parking was permit-only, available through SeatGeek starting around $30, and attendees reported long lines throughout the venue, according to Holler Country. Fans could also reach the stadium via TRAX Blue Line to Sandy Civic Center Station, a five-minute walk from the gates.

Miller Sports + Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Larry H. Miller Company, also operates Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC out of America First Field. The company's push to attract top-tier touring acts positions the Sandy stadium alongside Utah's larger venues as a draw for national headliners.
