The Offspring in Québec

The Offspring are an American punk-rock band formed in Garden Grove, California, in 1984. Their breakthrough album, Smash, produced “Come Out and Play” and “Self Esteem,” while Americana added “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” and “The Kids Aren’t Alright” to their best-known songs. The Offspring performed at Woodstock ’99 during the touring cycle for Americana. Decades later, the Let the Bad Times Roll Tour included a 2022 Canadian run with Simple Plan and a 2023 US leg featuring Sum 41. The band has returned to Reading and Leeds across multiple album eras, and Germany’s Rock am Ring has also hosted repeated Offspring performances.
