It may be time to dust off your old Hot Topic tees.
Starting Aug. 1, The Offspring, Simple Plan and Sum 41 will share the stage for their 24-concert ‘Let The Bad Times Roll Tour’ all over North America.
Midway through the run, the co-headliners that brought the world “Pretty Fly,” “I’m Just A Kid” and “Fat Lip” are coming to NY for a pair of gigs.
First, they’ll play Darien Center’s Darien Lake Performing Arts Center on Aug. 20 and next the trio hit Wantagh’s Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Sept. 2.
And even though they’re five months out from the tour’s official start date, these iconic acts that helped define late ’90s/early ’00s alt rock radio are excited to hit the road.
“The only thing better than being on tour is touring with your friends!” The Offspring shared in a nostalgia-heavy Instagram tour announcement post.
For fans that are equally stoked to re-live the glory days of peak punk, we’re here to let you know you can snag tickets for the tour as soon as today.
