The long - awaited moment when The Offspring will play in Riga has arrived. The band continues to surprise and thrill audiences with their unbridled energy and original style, offering fresh material with their latest album "Supercharged", which continues to prove their importance in the music world. Fans can expect a powerful sound that continues the tradition of combining classic punk rock with a modern approach. Canadian stars Simple Plan will join them as special guests on the tour.
The Offspring - one of the most popular American bands of all time - with whom punk rock suddenly shot to fame in the 1990s. Packed gigs, songs that were recognisable from the first second and more than 40 million albums sold.
The Offspring are labelled pop-punk, a genre whose origin is not hard to explain - it's punk rock, suddenly loved by so many people, as only Madonna, Depeche Mode and Jackson were yesterday. The term had been used sporadically in the second half of the 1970s, but in the 1990s it exploded with unprecedented power as The Offspring, along with Green Day and Blink-182, became arena stars and headliners at major festivals. The Offspring have now sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, becoming not only the pioneers of punk rock, but also one of the biggest-selling bands of all time in the vast, diverse and decades-long history of rock music.
This year, after more than a decade of hiatus, The Offspring have delighted their fans with their 11th studio album, "Supercharged".
The hits "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)", "Why Don't You Get A Job", "Self Esteem" or "Come Out and Play" are known even to those who have probably never heard of the term "punk rock", wouldn't wear ripped jeans for anything and wouldn't walk up to people with their hair down, but it doesn't matter - music is music, and if it's good, it finds an audience everywhere.
