THE LIVE SHOW
What The Offspring concerts are like
The central floor can become active during the fastest songs, while side and raised sections provide more control and a broader view.

Tips for the Phoenix show
- Use filtered hearing protection and secure footwear.
- Agree on a meeting point before entering a large standing area.
- Confirm the band's festival day and stage time, not just the festival dates.

Getting to Arizona State Fairgrounds
Arizona State Fairgrounds is the venue for The Offspring's Phoenix show. The listed address is 1826 West McDowell Road, Phoenix. Check the venue's entry times and bag policy before the day, and plan your route home in advance, as large concerts often finish when public transport is at its busiest.
Travelling to Phoenix for the concert
Because it is a Friday show, the concert crowd lands on top of the usual weekend visitors, so hotels in Phoenix are worth booking early.
With a 19:00 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
