SALT LAKE CITY — After its debut in August 2017, a concert festival aimed at helping the LGBT community feel loved and included will return to Utah in July.

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds started the concert and foundation in 2017 as a way to “ignite the vital conversation about what it means to unconditionally love, understand, accept and support our LGBTQ friends and family,” according to the LOVELOUD website.
