Denzel Curry took the stage at Springfest 2023, cued by bright flashes of light and a loud bass track that was heard across McCarthy Quad.
The 28-year-old was joined by Toro y Moi and the evening’s opener, Devon Again, in a night filled with student vendors, live music and food trucks.
The annual event, hosted by the USG’s Concert Committee, has previously seen hip-hip icons like Trippie Red, Dominic Fike and Paige Duddy. This year’s event marks the first time in three years that the concert is hosted at McCarthy Quad. Springfest resumed its operations last year at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after a two-year, pandemic-driven hiatus.
Student performers Alex Olivia and GRL! also performed as openers before the main acts closed the night.
