The live experience
What reaches the room
The X96 Big Ass Show (BASh) started in 1995 as Salt Lake City's beloved all-day festival curated by X96 (KXRK). Known for spotlighting touring alternative and punk acts alongside local bands, BASh has become a staple on the Wasatch Front’s music calendar. While BASh is distinct from other touring events, its influence on the local scene is clear—fueling bedroom-to-main-stage stories and memorable moments for fans who want raw, energetic performances.
