U2 performed at the stadium in 2011 as part of their U2360 Tour.

Officials added that ticket buyers assume all COVID-19 risks and current restrictions will apply.

“While Utah’s statewide mask mandate lifted on April 10, 2021, the University of Utah and Rice-Eccles Stadium currently still require use of face coverings. Stadium staff will assist in the implementation and execution of safety protocols and work alongside an on-site medical team that will stand by in the event of an emergency.”

Brooks finished a 3.5-year-long tour with Trisha Yearwood in 2017 that sold over 6 million tickets, making it the biggest North American tour in history and the biggest American tour in the world.
