We’re sure you’ve heard of The Offspring or at least have belted out the lyrics “When you walk away, nothing more to say; See the lightning in your eyes; See ’em running for their lives” at some point in your life. The song “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” has over a billion streams on Spotify. So, yes, The Offspring is pretty famous.
The Offspring is one of the popular 90s punk rock bands that has made a resurgence in recent years. Along with Blink-182 headlining Lollapalooza and Green Day playing a sold-out show at Wrigley, The Offspring will be leading the Riot Fest wave this September.
Yet, it seems that the only way to experience these bands is surrounded by thousands of fans at a significant stage. Well, we’re excited to report that this isn’t the case for this band.
Before Riot Fest, The Offspring will perform a personal exclusive pop-up show at the Metro. However, there is a catch: while this special event is free, tickets are not available for purchase.
