boygenius are wrapping up the North American leg of their summer tour before heading to Europe and the UK for the rest of the month, and on Thursday night (8/3) they stopped in Salt Lake City for a show at Library Square. The evening wound up starting early because of an incoming storm, causing us to miss openers illuminati hotties, who went on 15 minutes after doors opened. boygenius played a slightly shortened set, but they still fit in plenty of the much-beloved songs off their fantastic 2023 debut full-length and 2018 EP, ending with “Ketchum, ID” and “Salt in the Wound.” See pictures from their set by Moses Namkung and their setlist below.
boygenius just were interviewed by Nardwuar, and their North American dates resume in late September for shows in Boston, New Haven, Columbia (All Things Go festival), and NYC (Madison Square Garden on October 2 with MUNA), wrapping up in Los Angeles on Halloween (10/31) at Hollywood Bowl with 100 gecs and Sloppy Jane. See all of their upcoming dates below.
