At 28 years old, I wasn’t around for the first big wave of The Offspring’s rise. By the time “Come Out and Play” and “Self Esteem” were dominating the charts and making rounds on MTV, I was still in elementary school collecting snails. But that didn’t matter on September 6, 2025, when I finally got to see Offspring light up the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater. For me, this wasn’t about reliving high school memories, though that seemed to be the case with everyone surrounding me; it was about connecting with a band I’d only ever experienced through an occasional playlist and road trip sing-alongs. And it turns out, music doesn’t necessarily need nostalgia to hit just as hard.

This was the first Sabroso Festival in Utah. The show is usually based in California so I was excited to see that they were touring the Fest and bringing it to Utah. I’d say it was a huge success. There were a lot of people at the fairgrounds. The food and drink lines were never short. I was hoping to get a taste of the tacos, but I really didn’t want to miss any of the bands or the lucha libre wrestling. So I stayed away from the lines. The food must have been really good because one taco cart actually ran out of meat! The crowd seemed to really enjoy the festival. Here’s hoping that Sabroso Festival in Utah is a continuing tradition. Here are some photos of the bands and the festival with a brief rundown on everything that went on.
