The Offspring’s Let The Bad Times Roll Tour kicks off in a couple weeks with special guests Sum 41 and Simple Plan. Produced by Live Nation, the 24-city tour kicks off on August 1 at White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, WA making stops across the U.S. in Irvine, Phoenix, Atlanta, Tampa, St. Louis and more, before wrapping up in Mansfield, MA at Xfinity Center on September 3.

“One of the best things about being on tour is traveling the world playing to great audiences, and it’s even better when you can do it with your friends – we had sold out International tours with Simple Plan and Sum 41, and we’re excited that they’ll be joining us this Summer in America. It’s going to be great!,” said Dexter Holland of The Offspring.

“We couldn’t be more excited to get back on tour all across the US with our friends The Offspring and Sum 41!” said Chuck Comeau of Simple Plan. “We had such a blast touring with both of them last year that we just had to do it again and put together what we feel will be one of the most awesome tours of the summer. There’s nothing like going to see a show outside on a perfect summer night, and we hope our fans will join us and enjoy this really special show. See you there!” 

“We’re so excited to be back touring the States with The Offspring and Simple Plan this summer!” added Deryck Whibley of Sum 41. “There’s nothing better than hitting the road with your friends, and we can’t wait to bring the tour to you – see you soon!”

Widely regarded as one of the best rock/skate punk/melodic hardcore/pop punk bands of all time, The Offspring have garnered a reputation for their unmistakable sound and social commentary. The multi-platinum band first achieved worldwide success in the 90’s with the release of their album Smash, which sold over 11 million copies. Following Smash, they continued to release hit after hit, popularizing punk at a mainstream level. The group is also currently working on new music.
