Benson Boone is bringing a live performance to Salt Lake City’s outdoor NHL game on New Year’s Eve.
Benson Boone will perform during the first intermission of the Discover NHL Winter Classic at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The December 31 matchup pairs the Utah Mammoth with the Colorado Avalanche.
The booking puts the singer inside a sporting event that is also part of Utah’s end-of-year entertainment calendar. Boone is a Utah resident, making the appearance a local connection as well as a national television slot.
The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET, with TNT, HBO Max and truTV carrying it in the United States. Canadian viewers will be able to watch through Sportsnet and TVAS.
As KSL reports, Boone has already performed in Utah this year during the Sundance Film Festival. That followed three Delta Center concerts at the end of his American Heart tour.
His Winter Classic appearance is separate from the New Year’s Eve festival at the Delta Center featuring Post Malone. That event is planned for after the outdoor hockey game, within the wider Winter Weekend program.
The NHL has not yet detailed Boone’s set list in the announcement. The confirmed plan is an intermission performance, adding music to the Mammoth’s first outdoor game rather than replacing the hockey schedule with a standalone concert.
