Plans for the weekend: Baking in the sun
My, it's a busy weekend - with something for everybody:
- The Utah Arts Festival chugs along today through Sunday at Library Square, noon to 11 p.m. each day. Headliners: Reggae rockers Passafire tonight at 8:15; The Chicago Afrobeat Project tonight at 9:30; The Eric McFadden Trio with Bernie Worrell tonight at 9:45; eclectic rocker Chuck Prophet tonight at 9:45; Farewell and HELL-O, human and multimedia performance, Saturday at 10 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m.; world-music band Traveler, Saturday at 4:45 p.m.; Latin rocker Javier Garcia, Saturday at 9:45 p.m.; Jazz combo Three Squared, Sunday at 6:45 p.m.; and bluegrass fiddler Michael Cleveland and his band Flamekeeper, Sunday at 9:45 p.m. Tickets are $10 each day, and free for kids under 12.
- The Nilbog Invasion, a three-day celebration of the terrible 1990 cult-fave movie "Troll 2," runs tonight through Sunday in Morgan, Utah (about 22 miles east of Ogden), where the movie was filmed. Outdoor screenings, games, contests and meet-and-greets with the "stars" and director are on tap. Click here for passes and information.
- Country star Tim McGraw plays the Usana Amphitheatre tonight at 7:30. Tickets range from $33 to $63, at SmithsTix. Halfway to Hazard and Jason Aldean are the opening acts. If you're going, I'd advise you to not to hurt anybody as you rush the stage - Tim hates that.
- Jerry Seinfeld performs stand-up tonight at 7 and 9:30 at Abravanel Hall. Tickets are $60 at ArtTix.
- The Vans Warped Tour, with more bands than I could name (or probably recognize), plays Saturday at the Utah State Fairpark, 155 N. 1000 West. Doors open at 11 a.m. for the all-day rock extraganza. Tickets are $27.66 in advance, $30 on the day of show, at SmithsTix. (Read my colleague David Burger's interview with Katy Perry, pictured, who's breaking through the Warped Tour's glass ceiling.)
- '80s rocker Richard Marx will be right there waiting for you, Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Sandy Amphitheater, 1245 E. 9400 South, Sandy. Tickets are $18-$28 at SmithsTix.
