Pop punk legends The Offspring are heading to the UK next year!
The iconic band has announced a five-date UK arena tour in 2025, with stops in Cardiff, London, Newcastle, Manchester, and Glasgow. Joining them on the tour will be fellow pop punk stars, Simple Plan.
The tour supports The Offspring's latest album, Supercharged, their eleventh studio release, which has received strong reviews.
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, frontman Dexter Holland showed off his academic side, diving into the unexpected topic of viruses.
“I know this sounds funny to say, but I think viruses are cool,” explained Holland, who has a Ph.D. in molecular biology. “They’re cool because they’re so gnarly. They go in and they take over your cell, and they tell the machinery to stop making cellular things and start building viruses, so all the things that would normally be making your mitochondria, or your cell membrane, those parts now get taken over and turned into hundreds of viruses—little robots!—and when the virus has finally used up all the stuff in your cell, the last instruction is: Blow the cell up! And the viruses go out, and it’s just evil! It’s like Darth Vader stuff, right?”
