Sun Devil Welcome & Infernofest
Tuesday, August 19, 2025 | 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
A predominately first-year student event. Experience Sun Devil spirit, pride, and tradition at its finest during this high-energy event for all Arizona State University first-year students inside Mountain America Stadium. President Crow, Sparky, ASU athletics, the ASU Marching band and student leaders will introduce you to what it means to be a Sun Devil during this official welcome for all incoming students.
After Sun Devil Welcome, it’s time for InfernoFest 2025 and a performance from a popular artist (name TBA). All ASU students are invited to attend this FREE live concert on the Mountain America Stadium stage. First-year students attending Sun Devil Welcome can stay for the concert afterward, while upper-division students will be able to enter when gates open at 8:45 PM.

Echo from the Buttes

Echo from the Buttes is a celebration for all new Sun Devils who are beginning their journey at ASU. Hike up ‘A’ mountain and take part in one of the university’s oldest traditions. Once reaching the top, students receive white paint, where they will use their hands to forever leave their imprint on our iconic ‘A’, symbolizing a fresh start and a new beginning within the Sun Devil community.
