The Offspring

2010: The band return to their Huntington Beach, CA studio to work on new songs with producer Bob Rock.

In summer, The Offspring and 311 tour together for the first time ever - co-headlining the Unity Tour 2010; an 18 date run of US amphitheaters.

July 24, @Offspring’s first tweet.

The Offspring then head to Japan to play the Summer Sonic Festival alongside Jay-Z, Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins. To coincide, the band release the Japan exclusive compilation Happy Hour!, marking the 15th anniversary of The Offspring’s first ever visit to Japan. This special addition includes live recordings, cover songs and remixes previously available only as B-sides. It also features a fun package illustrated by Fantasista Utamaro. After Japan, the band return to writing new music for the rest of the year.

2011: The Offspring spend much of the winter and spring recording with Bob Rock in their Huntington Beach, CA studio. In August, the band begin a one month tour of Europe including stops at the Reading and Leeds Festivals with My Chemical Romance, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Deftones and Rise Against. Following the tour, recording continues.

2012: The year begins with recording at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC before returning to Southern California and the start of mixing. On March 24, Dexter tweets “Leaving the studio in Hollywood now. The record is finished.”

March 31 and April 1, The Offspring headline the Punkspring festival in Japan, premiering a new song: “The Future Is Now.”

April 27, Dexter & Noodles visit KROQ’s Kevin & Bean morning show to premiere “Days Go By” the first single off their upcoming new album.

May 3, the band play a special club show at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach to honor the Ignition album’s 20th Anniversary. The place is packed with a couple hundred fans of all kinds and also close friends and family of the band, making this a unique experience for anyone who was lucky enough to be at the sold out show. Possibly the longest Offspring show ever!

May 5, The Offspring play the 20th Annual KROQ Weenie Roast & Fiesta alongside Coldplay, Incubus, Silversun Pickups, Pennywise and others.

June 26, The Offspring release Days Go By worldwide, their 9th studio album.
