About

THE OFFSPRING IN CONCERT:
 
One of the most famous punk bands of all time, The Offspring are still igniting audiences with their explosive live shows. In concert the band delivers impassioned performances of audience favorites like “Come Out and Play”, “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)”, and “Gone Away”. With spitfire drums, catchy basslines, and distorted guitars, the band blasts their way through their songs with an adrenaline-fueled blend of polished musicianship and devil-may-care attitude. Coming off their hugely successful Smash: 20th Anniversary Tour, the group is keeping their hot streak alive by bringing their incendiary live shows to audiences around the world.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
 
The Offspring formed in 1986 in Huntington Beach, CA with original members Dexter Holland (vocals/guitar), Greg K. (bass), and Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman (lead guitar). Behind the strength of hit singles “Come Out and Play”, “Self Esteem”, and “Gotta Get Away” the band’s 1994 breakthrough album Smash launched them to international superstardom. They followed up in 1997 with the platinum-certified Ixnay on the Hombre, adding the hits “All I Want” and “Gone Away” to their impressive catalog. Their eclectic 1998 album Americana proved that they were one of the era’s most potent and versatile hit-making machines with the serious tone of megahit “The Kids Aren’t Alright”, which stood in stark contrast to humorous singles like “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” and “Why Don’t You Get a Job”. Since then the band has continued to record and release material, including the double-platinum Conspiracy of One in 2000. While working on a follow up to their 2012 album Days Go By, The Offspring continues to bring their music to legions of fans worldwide.

    Offspring was too short!!

    by Candi on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    I have loved Offspring for well over 15 years and I was quite dissapointed when I went to the concert. There was a couple of bands that played before them (that I didn't know) which was fine, but what pissed me off was that the lesser known bands played longer than Offspring did. The doors opened at 6, Offspring came on around 9:30 - 10:00 and played for about 45 minutes. I didn't pay good money to watch 3 hours of nusic I've never heard before and only 45 minutes of the band that I was there to see. When they finally came on stage they were great, but they just weren't on long enough.

    Offspring rocked the house!

    by Pete5 on 2009-07-14UBC THUNDERBIRD ARENA - Vancouver

    Amazing high energy show with fantastic vocals, great drumming, and some of the best guitar riffs out there. These guys have been creating some of the best punk influenced hard rock for years. They continue to have a sense of humour, and put on a very entertaining show.

    Offspring was phenominal

    by EriCor on 2009-07-14UBC THUNDERBIRD ARENA - Vancouver

    Vancouver was the first of three Offspring shows I went to in Western Canada. All were amazing. My only complaint - UBC had no alcohol!!

    good finish

    by puppyluv on 2009-07-14UBC THUNDERBIRD ARENA - Vancouver

    Both the warm up bands sucked but Offspring was really good. The majority of the music was from the older albums, not the new crap that nobody wants to hear. The stage set and show was also very well done. The fat guy in the tiny shirt was amusing but repulsive at the same time.

    Always unforgetable

    by Stormin on 2009-07-14UBC THUNDERBIRD ARENA - Vancouver

    Wow, what a show! 3rd time I've seen them and it's different and entertaining each time. Dexter has a little trouble hitting the high notes but covers well. That new venue rocks. I'll see them agian for sure.

    Offspring was the best concert of my life!

    by offspringfan14 on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    The Offspring was a show that I will never forget. It was a fast paced show with fist-pumping, crowd-surfing attitude. The sound was amazind, you hear every note that Noodles strummed on his guitar and every word that came out of Dexter Holland's mouth. The Offspring revisited old favourites such as Self Esteem, Come Out and Play (Keep'Em Seperated), and Pretty Fly (For a White Guy), while playing new hits like You're Gonna Go Far, Kid, Hammerhead, and Stuff Is Messed Up. Bottom line, the Offspring are a great band to see in concert, and I recommend that you see them if you get the chance.

    by Sanman on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    I went to the concert a little after show started but i was not dissappointed at all. I have loved Offspring for a long time and I was hoping that i would not be dissappointed by all the hype leading up to it. Then, they absolutely rocked it!!! I was soo wicked I would go see them again tomorrow if i could!

    Offspring good, openers bad

    by F4st3ddy on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    Offspring was short and sweet. They played all their hits and rocked the show! The opening bands sucked though and I wish I would have watched the Game 7 before heading down to the show.

    The Offspring Rocked!

    by Lucylu on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    I was not a devoted Offspring fan prior to the concert, but would not avoid them if one of their songs played on the radio either. I would normally enjoy several rock shows throughout the year including bands such as Disturbed, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Hinder, Airborne, Theory of a Deadman and Nickleback. However, I was extremely impressed with the Offspring show. Their performance was polished and Dexter sung flawlessly for approximately 2 1/2 hours, although I realized immediately what a class act they really are.

    by Kernal on 2009-07-14UBC THUNDERBIRD ARENA - Vancouver

    I took my 14 year daughter to the concert she was surprised her old man was so into rocking out. She had a hard time keeping up. Offspring did not disapoint. Thanks for the memories.

    Offspring rocked

    by Nodules on 2009-07-14UBC THUNDERBIRD ARENA - Vancouver

    Great show, Small crowd? This band had the classic songs that everyone knew the words to and some new stuff. The audience was really into it. Why wasn't it sold out? Is the Offspring just not that big in Vancouver?

    What a smash!

    by guva on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    One of the best band live I've seen and I have seen a lot! There was a lot of energy, the crowd was fun and Offspring definetely still got it. It took a long time before they decided to tour but it was well worth the wait.

    Fun on the Floor

    by Bracta on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    WOOHOO!!! Floor seats to Offspring, my dream come true! TOTALLY AWESOME! The show was great, the opening acts got everyone going and pumped to see the main show, and the main show was not a dissapointment!! The crowd on the floor helped, there were a few rowdies but for the most part everyone around me was super friendly and we all jumped and sang and fell together!! What a great experience!! I would definetly recommend Offspring Live to anyone!

    Offspring/ Shiny Toy Guns - Calgary venue sucked

    by BAxie on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    Shiny Toy Guns were a great surprise. *Love* this band I think I enjoyed them more than the Offspring! The Offspring were great, however the sound at the Corral in Calgary was just awful. The acoustics are terrible. You can't hear any of the lyrics because all the sounds just clashes together until it just sounds like "BAAAAAAAAAAH". It was really unfortuntate. I don't think I'd ever go to another show at the Corral again. Boo.

    Offspring was Awesome

    by BruciePie on 2009-07-14Stampede Corral - Calgary

    Great Light show. They played all their hits and alot off their incredible new disc. My 2 sons liked the show better than the AC/DC Black Ice show I took them to in Memphis.
