The Constellation Tour brings together three different faces of soul
Thee Sacred Souls arrive at Beddy's Plaza at America First Field in Sandy, Utah, on August 18, 2026, as part of The Constellation Tour. The concert is particularly interesting because the program consists of more than just one artist's performance: alongside Thee Sacred Souls, LA LOM and The Womack Sisters have also been confirmed, three groups that come from different musical traditions but meet in soul, rhythm and melodies shaped for live performance.
In recent years, Thee Sacred Souls have become one of the more recognizable names of the new wave of soul. The San Diego group is built around a core led by singer Josh Lane, Alex Garcia and Sal Samano, and their sound draws on classic soul, R&B, souldies, rocksteady and harmonies reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s production, but without trying to make their music sound like a museum reconstruction of that era.
Songs such as "Can I Call You Rose?", "Weak for Your Love", "Will I See You Again?", "Easier Said Than Done" and "Future Lover" built their early identity. On the second album "Got A Story To Tell", that sound became somewhat broader and more emotionally varied. "Lucid Girl", "Live For You", "My Heart Is Drowning" and "On My Mind" show how the band moves between gentle ballads, firmer rhythms and layered backing vocals.
For audiences who love modern soul as well as older Motown recordings, rocksteady, sweet soul and Latin American R&B, this very combination is the main reason why this concert has a broader reach than a typical nostalgic soul evening.
Tickets for this event are currently on sale.
Thee Sacred Souls are currently in the middle of a very active phase of their career
The concert in Sandy does not come during a period between two albums with no new developments. On the contrary, the band continued releasing music in 2026, including immediately before the tour.
In April, "Any Old Fool" was released, a previously unreleased recording with a pronounced bass line, tight drums and Josh Lane's vocal at the forefront. During the summer, new releases connected with producer Victor Axelrod followed. Among them are "Waiting on the Right Time" and "One and the Same", along with their respective B-sides "Waiting #2" and "Same Difference".
That means the 2026 concert repertoire is no longer tied only to the first album "Thee Sacred Souls" from 2022 and its successor "Got A Story To Tell" from 2024. The band now has enough material to combine several different phases of its career in one performance.
- "Can I Call You Rose?" remains one of the songs most frequently associated with the band's early rise.
- "Easier Said Than Done", "Will I See You Again?" and "Weak for Your Love" regularly appear among their better-known songs and concert favorites.
- "Lucid Girl", "Live For You" and "My Heart Is Drowning" represent the more mature sound of the album "Got A Story To Tell".
- "Any Old Fool" and "Waiting on the Right Time" give the program a direct connection to the releases from 2026.
At the same time, there is no reason to assume an exact set list for Sandy in advance. It has not been confirmed. Recent song lists from the beginning of The Constellation Tour nevertheless provide a good indication of the direction.
At performances in August 2026, songs such as "Will I See You Again?", "Easier Said Than Done", "Lady Love", "We Don't Have to Be Alone", "Waiting on the Right Time", "Any Old Fool", "Weak for Your Love", "Lucid Girl" and "My Heart Is Drowning" were recorded. This shows that the band is currently mixing older material, the second album and newer releases instead of building the tour around just one record.
What Thee Sacred Souls sound like on stage
The band's studio recordings are known for their warm, analog character and precisely layered vocals. Live, that approach does not turn into a cold reproduction of the albums.
Reports from previous concerts particularly emphasize Josh Lane and his relationship with the audience. A review of a performance in San Diego from October 2025 describes a concert in which slower, more emotional songs alternated with more rhythmic material, while the backing vocals played an important role in the overall sound.
That is important information for someone who knows Thee Sacred Souls only from recordings. This is not a band whose concert identity is based on large visual effects or aggressive production. Its strength lies primarily in the voice, rhythm section, harmonies and the way songs about love, breakups and intimacy move from the intimate studio space into a shared audience experience.
Recent set lists also show how much the band likes contrasts. A gentle song such as "Will I See You Again?" can stand alongside the considerably more energetic "Any Old Fool", while material from "Got A Story To Tell" adds more shades between those two poles.
Such a program is particularly well suited to an audience that does not come to the concert just because of one viral song. Long-time fans can expect a cross-section of the discography, while listeners who are only discovering the band get a fairly clear overview of its sound.
If this particular combination is the reason for traveling to Sandy, it is worth securing tickets in good time.
LA LOM brings cumbia, bolero and instrumental Los Angeles
LA LOM is not a conventional opening act chosen merely to fill time before the headliner. Their musical profile connects very naturally with Thee Sacred Souls, but at the same time introduces a completely different rhythmic color.
The name is an abbreviation of The Los Angeles League of Musicians. The trio consists of Zac Sokolow on guitar, Jake Faulkner on bass and Nicholas Baker on drums and percussion.
The group's roots go back to 2019, when the musicians began regularly performing in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. From their initial instrumental covers of soul from the 1950s and 1960s, they developed their own style in which cumbia sonidera, Mexican bolero, soul ballads, Peruvian chicha and a guitar sound associated with the American West overlap.
For the concert evening in Sandy, their presence significantly changes the character of the entire program. Instead of several hours of music at almost the same tempo, the audience gets a transition between LA LOM's instrumental groove and the vocally powerful soul of Thee Sacred Souls.
Their repertoire may also be interesting to visitors who do not normally follow the contemporary American soul scene but listen to cumbia, Latin American instrumental music, surf guitar or older bolero arrangements.
The Womack Sisters bring another generation of soul tradition
The third confirmed part of the program is The Womack Sisters - Kucha, Zeimani and BG Womack. Their family connection with soul music is exceptionally strong: they are Sam Cooke's granddaughters, Bobby Womack's nieces and the daughters of the musicians known as Womack & Womack.
More important than the surname itself is the moment in which they are joining this tour. Their self-titled debut album "The Womack Sisters" will be released on August 14, 2026, just a few days before the concert in Sandy. Among the songs released ahead of the album are "If You Want Me", "I Just Don't Want You (To Say Goodbye)" and "If I Let You".
Their performance is therefore not a retrospective of their family's musical history but a presentation of current material. The album is conceived as a combination of the heritage of classic soul and the three sisters' own identity, with each of them given space for her individual vocal personality.
The combination of The Womack Sisters, LA LOM and Thee Sacred Souls also explains the name The Constellation Tour better than a conventional division into one headliner and two opening acts. The program connects several branches of the same broader musical family: traditional soul, contemporary souldies, Latin American rhythms, instrumental music and multi-part singing.
Beddy's Plaza gives the concert a different setting from a stadium evening
Beddy's Plaza is located on the eastern lawn next to America First Field. The space is normally part of the visitor experience at Real Salt Lake matches, with music, food, drinks and other activities before sporting events, but it is also used for standalone concerts.
That is an important distinction: although the name America First Field is associated with a large soccer stadium, the concert is listed for Beddy's Plaza, not simply for the stands of the main stadium.
Such an open format suits the music of Thee Sacred Souls well. Their songs depend more on the clarity of the vocals and rhythm section than on monumental stage design. At the same time, a program featuring LA LOM naturally works in a space where the audience can stand, move and dance.
Visitors should also take into account that this is an outdoor venue. Mid-August in Utah means that weather conditions should be checked shortly before arrival, particularly because of temperature, sun or possible changes in the weather during the evening.
America First Field states that entry rules apply to events throughout the complex and may change. Therefore, it is more practical to check the current rules immediately before departure than to rely on experience from an earlier concert.
Getting to Sandy and accessing America First Field
America First Field is located at 9256 South State Street, Sandy, Utah. Sandy lies south of downtown Salt Lake City and is part of the wider Salt Lake Valley urban area, which makes it possible to combine the concert with a stay in Salt Lake City without needing accommodation immediately next to the stadium.
For those arriving by car, the main approaches are via Interstate 15 and State Street. Venue organizers warn that parking on surrounding public streets is not permitted everywhere. In certain neighboring residential areas, restrictions apply during events and local permits are required.
Public transportation may be an easier option for visitors who do not want to plan parking. TRAX, the light rail system in the Salt Lake City area, connects Sandy with other parts of the metropolitan area. Stations in Sandy are used for America First Field, and Utah Transit Authority event information identifies the Blue Line and Sandy Expo Station as access to the stadium.
A practical arrival plan looks like this:
- check the current TRAX timetable for the day of the concert, especially return departures after the program ends;
- if arriving by car, check in advance which parking lots are available for the specific event;
- do not count on free parking in surrounding residential streets;
- leave enough time for security screening and finding the entrance to Beddy's Plaza;
- before departure, check for any traffic changes around America First Field.
For travelers arriving by air, the Sandy area is connected by road with Salt Lake City International Airport, while Salt Lake City can serve as a practical base for accommodation, restaurants and other amenities before or after the concert.
Entry rules are worth checking before departure
America First Field currently lists restrictions on bags and purses larger than 4 x 6 x 2 inches. Exceptions exist for medical bags, cultural bags and diaper bags, with larger permitted dimensions and security screening.
The list of prohibited items includes, among other things, weapons, pyrotechnics, drones, laser pointers, selfie sticks, umbrellas, professional photographic equipment with larger lenses, large banners, confetti and certain objects that may pose a security risk.
Because the rules may be adjusted for individual events, it should not automatically be assumed that the conditions for a soccer match and a concert are completely identical. In particular, rules regarding water bottles, food, cameras and bags should be checked again immediately before the visit.
The announcement for this event lists a start time of 18:00. Some current tour calendars show a different schedule, so the time stated on the specific ticket is best checked again before traveling. The schedule for individual performers to take the stage has not been confirmed in the sources reviewed, so it is not advisable to plan arrival based solely on an assumed start time for Thee Sacred Souls.
Who this concert evening is particularly interesting for
The Constellation Tour has an unusually consistent musical identity for a tour featuring three artists. Fans of Thee Sacred Souls will not get a program made up of unrelated opening acts, but an evening in which each performer opens up another part of the same musical story.
LA LOM brings instrumental cumbia, bolero and the guitar sound of Los Angeles. The Womack Sisters bring vocal harmonies and a direct connection to a multigenerational soul tradition. Thee Sacred Souls then carry that context into contemporary songs that found their audience decades after the genre's golden age.
For long-time fans, the most interesting part will be the way older songs such as "Can I Call You Rose?", "Weak for Your Love" and "Easier Said Than Done" fit alongside "Lucid Girl", "My Heart Is Drowning" and newer material from 2026.
For audiences who have not yet seen the band live, previous concerts suggest a performance in which Josh Lane's vocals, backing harmonies and rhythm are more important than theatricality. Slower songs create space for communal singing, while more rhythmic moments change the pace without abandoning the recognizable soul character.
And for visitors traveling primarily because of the entire line-up, the Sandy date comes in the middle of an active part of The Constellation Tour, between performances in California and Colorado. That makes it part of a continuous tour series rather than an isolated one-off concert.
It is worth securing tickets in good time and checking the current schedule, entry rules and transportation for the day of the event once again before arrival.
