The Offspring to Perform ‘Smash’ in Full for 30th Anniversary at Honda Center

The iconic Orange County punk rock group, The Offspring, is slated to deliver a special performance at Honda Center in Anaheim. The band will take the stage on June 1st as a highlight of the venue's 30th-anniversary festivities. In a coincidental celebration of milestones, The Offspring's renowned album ‘Smash,’ which includes chart-topping singles such as ‘Come Out and Play,’ ‘Bad Habit,’ and ‘Self Esteem,’ is also marking its 30th year since release. Fans will be treated to a rare rendition of the album played in full, along with a setlist of other beloved tunes from the band's discography.

The Offspring's Enthusiasm

According to The Offspring guitarist Noodles, the energy of the songs from ‘Smash’ remains undiminished after three decades. He expressed this sentiment while at KROQ/FM 106.7’s Almost Acoustic Christmas event, emphasizing the timeless quality of their music and the thrilling connection they feel with their audience during live performances.

An Anniversary Year of Memorable Performances

The Honda Center has been hosting a series of events to commemorate its 30th anniversary. The kickoff was a sold-out concert by Gwen Stefani of No Doubt in September, setting the precedent for what is shaping up to be a year packed with memorable entertainment offerings anchored by celebrated artists, beginning with The Offspring.
