The Offspring

It’s official. The Offspring are returning to Australia! Everyone’s favourite Southern California punk rock veterans, The Offspring are gearing up to return to our shores after almost two years since their last furore at the Soundwave Festival, where they served up the classics to loyal fans in the hundreds of thousands across the country. Get out your Offspring records and get ready for some serious sing-alongs when they crash Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this October. It’ll transport you back to a time when the summers seemed longer, the beers were icier and when you got way more sweet action than you probably are getting now.

This time around, the guys are armed with their latest album, Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace, packed with an impressive new set of songs from one of the most exciting and enduring bands.

Dexter Holland (vocals, guitar), Noodles (guitar), Greg K (bass) and Pete Parada (drums) entered the studio with legendary producer Bob Rock (Metallica, The Cult) to record 12 new songs culled from the most productive songwriting period in the band's history. The end result is a broad reaching album forging new territory while staying true to the band's vision. Every song on the band's eighth studio album delivers.

That's quite the accomplishment for a band that has performed over 1000 shows and has sold more than 34 million albums worldwide, including their 1994 release Smash, which more than a decade after its release remains the highest-selling album of all time on an independent label.
