Formed in the mid-80s in Garden Grove, California, The Offspring became a major force in bringing punk rock to the mainstream in the 1990s. One of the best-selling acts of all time, the band have released 11 studio albums since their self-titled debut in 1989, earning multiple platinum certifications along the way.

The band have sold over 40 millions records worldwide and are two-time members of the Spotify Billions Club for “You’re Gonna Go Far Kid” and “The Kids Aren’t Alright”.

Simple Plan will join The Offspring on the upcoming tour. Known for hits like “Perfect” and “Welcome to My Life”, they’ve sold over 10 million albums worldwide and recently released their latest album, Harder Than It Looks.

Both bands are known for their energetic live shows. Tickets are expected to sell quickly to the tour, so fans should act fast to catch them live next year.
