Post Malone to headline New Year’s Eve concert after Utah Mammoth Winter Classic
Post Malone and Alesso are scheduled to perform at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center after the Mammoth face the Colorado Avalanche outdoors on Dec. 31. Presale begins Oct. 29.
Post Malone will headline a New Year’s Eve concert at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City after the Utah Mammoth play the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL’s Winter Classic on Dec. 31, KSL Sports and the Deseret News reported. Alesso is also scheduled to perform, adding a concert to the same night as the outdoor hockey game.
Smith Entertainment Group’s Winter Weekend festivities will continue at the Delta Center after the game at Rice-Eccles Stadium, according to KSL Sports. The Deseret News reported a 4 p.m. start for the game and a 10 p.m. start for the concert. Fans attending both events would need to travel between the stadium and arena.
When Post Malone concert tickets go on sale
Fans can sign up now for the ticket presale, which begins Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. Mountain Time, KSL Sports reported. General ticket sales are scheduled to begin Oct. 30 at 10 a.m. Mountain Time. The Deseret News reported that more than 6,000 tickets will be priced at $125 or less; KSL described them as costing less than $125.
How the concert fits into Utah’s Winter Weekend
The announcement names the performers and sets a ticket timetable for a concert Mammoth owner Ryan Smith had previously described in broad terms. When the NHL announced the Winter Classic’s Dec. 31 date in April, Smith said a concert at the Delta Center was planned for that night and described a wider celebration around the outdoor game, the Deseret News reported.
The Winter Classic will match the Mammoth with the Avalanche at Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus. The league announced the matchup and venue in January, then set the date in April, according to the Deseret News. The concert brings the celebration from the stadium to another venue in Salt Lake City later that night.
Other games are scheduled around the holiday: the Utah Jazz host the New York Knicks on Dec. 30 and the Boston Celtics on Jan. 1, while the Mammoth return to the Delta Center to face the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 2, KSL Sports reported. Smith, chairman and CEO of Smith Entertainment Group, described the plan as ‘four days of sports and entertainment’ intended to draw Utah residents and visiting fans.
