Deafheaven live in Salt Lake City

Experience Deafheaven live on October 6th

Deafheaven is scheduled to perform at The Complex in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 6, 2026. The band is recognized for pioneering a style often described as “blackgaze,” blending elements of black metal – characterized by tremolo-picked guitars, blast beats, and often harsh vocals – with shoegaze’s atmospheric textures, melodic sensibilities, and use of reverb-drenched instrumentation. Formed in San Francisco, California in 2010, Deafheaven has released several critically acclaimed albums including *Sunbather* (2013) and *Ordinary Corrupt Human Being* (2023), gaining a substantial following within both metal and independent music scenes.

The Complex is a multi-use venue located in Salt Lake City known for hosting a diverse range of musical acts, primarily focusing on rock, metal, electronic, and alternative genres. Originally opening in 2009 as a smaller all-ages venue called The Lowdown, it underwent significant expansion and rebranding to become The Complex in 2011. It features multiple stages – including a larger main room and smaller spaces for more intimate performances – accommodating varying crowd sizes.
