Three Days Grace & Breaking Benjamin
Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater

October 3, 2025

Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin brought a sold-out night of anthems to Salt Lake City on Saturday at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. With career-spanning setlists, commanding performances, and upgraded staging, both bands delivered a night that felt bigger, louder, and more immersive than ever. 

Three Days Grace opened with Animal I Have Become, immediately locking the crowd into an emotional throwback. From there, it was hit after hit. With songs reaching back to their 2003 debut, every note landed with raw intensity and turned the amphitheatre into a choir of thousands. Chart-toppers like Pain and I Hate Everything About You had fans belting out every lyric. 

Mid-set, vocalist Adam Gontier paused to reflect on the band’s journey, openly acknowledging the time he stepped away, how grateful he was that his bandmates kept the band alive, and how meaningful it was to return and perform with them again. Fans responded with playful “boos,” meeting his honesty with a mix of humor and affection that made the moment both heartfelt and lighthearted. 

Later in the set, emotion peaked with Never Too Late. As the opening chords rang out, the amphitheatre glowed with thousands of cell phone lights, a simple but powerful sight that underscored how deeply the song still resonates. They closed out the set with Riot, in a final burst of chaos that had the entire amphitheatre screaming and thrashing to the very last note. 

Breaking Benjamin finished the night out with a performance that carried the same energy that first put them on the map when Polyamorous dropped via MySpace more than two decades ago. They kicked off with Awaken and Follow before tearing into Blow Me Away and crowd-favorite So Cold. Deeper cuts like You and Evil Angel (set up by a thunderous drum solo) gave longtime fans plenty to savor, while Failure, Red Cold River, and Blood hit as hard as ever. They closed the night out with their most well-known hit, The Diary of Jane, which sent the amphitheatre into a storm of voices and lights as fans roared back every lyric. 

The crowd matched the bands’ energy at every turn, as if no time had passed since some of these songs once cycled through the charts of old-school music video countdowns. The switch from static backdrops to towering LED displays gave the night a modern punch without losing its grit, and amplified the power of two bands whose music continues to resonate decades later. 

Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin didn’t just deliver nostalgia; they reminded Utah exactly why these songs still matter. Saturday night was truly a communal release and a testament to the staying power of two bands that continue to define a generation of rock.
