By the time a 7:00 PM show starts at Kenley Amphitheater in Layton, the sun is already 20 degrees above the horizon and falling, bearing west-northwest. Our shade model puts the average spot here at 74 percent shaded across a typical evening event, a solid number, with a clear gap between the best seats and the lawn.
The pit is the winner: Pit 3 models at 93 percent shaded over the course of a 7:00 PM show. Right behind it comes a band of reserved sections, 109, 108, 209, 210, and 211, all at 90 percent. If dodging sun is the whole point of your seat choice, any of those puts you in shade for nearly the entire evening.
The lawn is the trade-off. Lawn 1, 2, and 3 each model at 50 percent shaded, and section 102 is barely better at 52 percent. Counting from 6 PM, if you arrive early to stake out lawn space, the venue-wide average drops to 51 percent, because that extra hour is sunnier than the show itself. Lawn sitters should bring sunscreen and expect direct west-northwest sun for the early stretch, then steady improvement as the evening goes on.
Sunset in Layton lands at 8:58 PM in high summer, so a 7:00 PM start means roughly the first two hours contend with some sun and the finale plays in the dark. The stage-to-lawn line here runs toward the west-southwest, and the setting sun tracks the west-northwest horizon, the numbers above already account for all of that geometry. For your exact date and seat, the interactive shade map runs the same model minute by minute, so you can see precisely when your row at Kenley Amphitheater goes dark.
