Recording and touring relentlessly since the '90s, country singer Toby Keith (originally from Oklahoma, but now living in Nashville) is presenting his 18th studio album, 35 MPH Town at the Usana Amphitheatre.

Kaskade, Flux Pavilion
Kaskade, the stage name of Chicago DJ Ryan Raddon, once played an epic—a 12-hour set of electronic dance music at the Marquee nightclub in Las Vegas. That was three years ago. Since then, Kaskade has churned out more material, including a recent single, "Never Sleep Alone," and although the entire EDM festival (entitled Das Energi 2015) is slated to last more than ten hours, expect a set not much longer than two hours (which is still lengthy). In addition to the musical trance induced by Kaskade, the visuals he brings along are mesmerizing and often more involved than a general lightshow (he has used animated pilots and giant robots, cityscapes, animals and trees). Flux Pavilion is also on the bill, with the rest of the lineup to be announced shortly. The Great Saltair, 12408 W. Saltair Dr., Aug. 15, 4 p.m., $40-$100
