On Wednesday, the lineups were announced for the annual Riot Fest events in Chicago and Denver. Today (May 14), it was revealed that 10 of the bands will be playing classic albums in their entirety at the festivals, including Slayer, Jane's Addiction and the Offspring.
It's like an early 90's California punk rock reunion that is about to hit the road. As a matter of fact in 1994 these three very same bands went on their Summer Nationals Tour. Twenty years later, The Offspring, Bad Religion, and Pennywise are doing it again... This time it's Summer Nationals 2014!
The Detroit-area festival Chill on the Hill is back for its second year, and organizers have revealed that The Offspring and Rise Against will headline the two nights Sept. 6 and 7 at the Freedom Hill Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights, Mich.
Has it really been 20 years since The Offspring's 'Smash' hit stores? To mark today's 20th anniversary of The Offspring's 'Smash' album, the band has announced a variety of special 20th anniversary edition releases and revealed plans to revisit the album in full on select dates this year.
Congrats to The Offspring, who will be saluted with the Orange County Impact and Lifetime Achievement honor at the annual OC Music Awards. The honor annually goes to a renowned local band or artist that has left a major impact on the Orange County music scene, and the Huntington Beach, Calif. natives have definitely done that.
