5 Seconds of Summer in West Valley City - tickets for a pop-rock night at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre

5 Seconds of Summer in West Valley City: pop-rock tour in a large open-air amphitheatre

5 Seconds of Summer is coming to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City on August 26, 2026, as part of the EVERYONE'S A STAR! World Tour. According to the information provided for the event, the start time is 8:00 PM. Some current online schedules also show an earlier time, so before setting out it is reasonable to check the schedule listed on your own ticket.

This is not a tour that relies only on nostalgia for the band's first decade. 5 Seconds of Summer brings material from the album EVERYONE'S A STAR!, released on November 14, 2025, to the stage, but recent performances show that the band still strongly connects its new phase with songs that marked different parts of its career. For the audience, that means an evening in which pop-rock, pop-punk roots, electronic accents and big choruses alternate without the concert needing to become a retrospective.

Tickets for this event are currently on sale.

EVERYONE'S A STAR! gives the concert its current identity

The band's sixth studio album contains 12 songs and represents one of the most sonically diverse phases of 5 Seconds of Summer. The material moves between pop-rock, energetic guitar passages, darker alternative pop and more pronounced electronic production. Songs such as "NOT OK", "Telephone Busy", "Boyband", "No. 1 Obsession", "Evolve" and "I'm Scared I'll Never Sleep Again" now play an important role in the concert repertoire.

That direction explains well why the current tour sounds different from the period when "She Looks So Perfect", "She's Kinda Hot" or "Amnesia" defined the perception of the band. 5 Seconds of Summer has not abandoned melodic choruses or the energy of pop-punk, but the newer material has more rhythmic and production contrasts. "NOT OK" comes in harder and darker, "Telephone Busy" emphasizes a more modern alt-pop approach, while "Boyband" plays with the very label that followed the band during the earlier years of its career.

For the audience that has followed the band for years, continuity is important. "Youngblood", "Teeth", "She Looks So Perfect", "Ghost of You" and "Amnesia" still rank among the songs with the greatest recognition, while the current album gives the concert a reason not to live only on past successes.

What recent performances say about the live repertoire

The exact set list for West Valley City should not be declared fixed in advance. The song order and individual selections may change from city to city. Still, performances from the current North American leg provide a sufficiently good framework for expectations.

"NOT OK" and "No. 1 Obsession" appear very early in recent performances, after which the band combines newer songs with older favorites such as "Teeth", "Easier", "No Shame" and "She's Kinda Hot". In the middle of the program there is regularly a block of songs from the new album, including "Boyband", "Telephone Busy" and "Evolve", while "Bad Omens", "Ghost of You" and "Amnesia" have also been part of recent evenings.

It is particularly interesting that the current tour leaves room for changes and less predictable moments. Different additional songs and covers have appeared at some performances, so it is not wise to expect a completely identical program in every city. It is precisely that variability that gives longtime fans a reason not to view the tour as a product that has been completely locked in advance.

In performance terms, 5 Seconds of Summer remains a band that relies on a combination of guitars, drums, multi-part vocals and powerful choruses that the audience can take over. The newer songs add more synthesized textures and rhythmic transitions, but the concert core still rests on the energy of a band accustomed to playing large arenas and amphitheatres.

The Band CAMINO and Haiden Henderson expand the evening

Alongside 5 Seconds of Summer, The Band CAMINO and Haiden Henderson are listed on the program. The Band CAMINO fits the evening well because of its modern pop-rock sound, big melodies and alternative elements that naturally connect with the 5SOS audience. Haiden Henderson brings another contemporary pop-rock layer to the program.

Their presence means that visitors should not plan their arrival only around the main act's appearance. If you want to hear the entire program, arriving earlier makes more sense, especially because of traffic and entrance checks that the venue regularly emphasizes in its visitor instructions.

It is worth securing tickets in time.

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre changes the way the concert is experienced

Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre is a large open-air concert venue in West Valley City and, according to information from the venue itself, the largest amphitheatre in the state of Utah. It combines an area with fixed seating and a large lawn section, so the experience can be very different depending on the ticket category. The audience closer to the stage gets a more concentrated concert experience, while the lawn section feels more like a summer festival way of watching a performance.

The open-air format is especially well suited to 5 Seconds of Summer because songs with big choruses and rhythmically powerful endings work well in front of a broad mass of people. On the other hand, the venue is not a small hall where every visitor feels immediate proximity to the performer. In an amphitheatre like this, the position within the venue significantly shapes the experience, so it is useful to know in advance whether your ticket is in the seated section, the floor area or on the lawn.

The event is listed as taking place even in the event of rain. That is why it is worth checking the weather conditions immediately before arrival and dressing for an outdoor venue. Umbrellas are not among the permitted items, so in an unstable forecast lightweight rainwear is more practical.

• The venue address is 5150 Upper Ridge Rd, West Valley City, UT 84118.
• General parking is included with the ticket, and 5150 S Upper Ridge Road is recommended for navigation to that area.
• Small bags up to 6 x 9 inches or clear bags up to 12 x 12 x 6 inches are permitted.
• One factory-sealed or empty clear plastic water bottle up to 1 gallon per person is permitted; metal and glass bottles are not allowed.
• Entry is based on mobile tickets, and the venue operates cashlessly.

Bag rules are worth taking seriously because items are inspected at the entrance. Those arriving without a bag can use a faster lane intended for visitors without baggage. The list of prohibited items also includes professional cameras with interchangeable lenses, audio recording devices, large signs, lawn chairs and stadium seats.

Arriving by car, parking and leaving after the concert

For this venue, the arrival plan is not a secondary matter. The venue operator warns of heavy traffic before concerts and encourages carpooling and rideshare. General parking is located by the access from Upper Ridge Road, while separate entrances are used for certain other parking categories. Visitors who need accessible parking should use the area by 5150 S Westridge Blvd and have the appropriate vehicle permit.

The most important practical advice is simple: do not time your arrival so that you reach the location immediately before the planned start of the main act. A large amphitheatre means lines of vehicles, walking from the parking lot, security screening and ticket checking. With two additional performing acts before 5 Seconds of Summer, arriving earlier makes sense musically as well, not only logistically.

For rideshare there is a designated drop-off and pick-up zone in the general parking area. After the concert, expect a slower exit because a large number of vehicles leave the venue within a short period of time. If someone is only coming to pick you up, the venue's instructions provide for a special arrangement toward the end of the event to reduce the mixing of incoming and outgoing traffic.

The start time deserves additional attention. The information provided with the event lists 8:00 PM, while some current online listings show 7:00 PM. Because of that difference, the most reliable option is to check the time on your own ticket and the venue's current notice on the day of the concert. This is particularly important if you want to see The Band CAMINO and Haiden Henderson, not just the headline performance.

West Valley City as a base for visitors coming from out of town

West Valley City is located in the Salt Lake Valley, between the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges. The city is part of the wider Salt Lake City urban area, but the concert venue is not in the central city core. This should be taken into account when choosing accommodation and transportation: a location that is convenient for sightseeing in downtown Salt Lake City is not necessarily the fastest for reaching the amphitheatre during a major concert.

According to city information, West Valley City is the second-largest city in Utah. For a short stay, the main advantage is not a classic tourist center around the amphitheatre, but proximity to the wider Salt Lake Valley area. Visitors can therefore combine the concert with a stay in Salt Lake City and the surrounding area, but transportation for the concert evening should be planned as a separate part of the trip.

Who this concert is especially interesting for

Longtime fans have an obvious reason to attend because recent programs combine several periods of the discography. Early pop-punk and pop-rock favorites have not disappeared, but they are no longer the only axis around which the concert is built. The current album receives a large amount of space and gives the entire evening a different texture.

For someone who knows 5SOS only from the oldest hits, the current tour may be a useful surprise. EVERYONE'S A STAR! does not sound like an attempt to repeat the sound from the beginning of the band's career. The album is more diverse in terms of production, and the concert repertoire shows how the band can connect "NOT OK" or "Evolve" with "Amnesia", "She's Kinda Hot" and other older songs without it feeling like two separate versions of the same group.

Practical check before setting out

• Check the schedule on your ticket because of the difference between the currently published times.
• If you want to hear the entire program, plan to arrive before the performances by The Band CAMINO and Haiden Henderson.
• If arriving by car, expect heavier traffic and follow staff instructions when entering the parking areas.
• For faster entry, consider arriving without a bag; if you bring one, check the permitted dimensions.
• Bring clothing suitable for an outdoor venue and the current forecast, but not an umbrella.
• Save your mobile ticket to your phone before arrival and expect cashless payment inside the venue.
