This is some "pretty fly" news, indeed.
The Offspring have announced two special shows planned for this summer, specifically for the long-time fans of the punk-alternative veterans.
The "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)" hitmakers took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal the exciting news. "We can't deny you any longer!" the rockers wrote. "We keep seeing more and more requests for the deep cuts. We hear you. So here it is: two exclusive shows where we're going to play only the punk stuff, the old stuff, the songs dear to us, our roots, the place we came from."
The two shows, both at Canadian venues, are scheduled for Aug. 3 in Quebec City and Aug. 5 in Montreal.
While they may not be playing their mainstream hits this time around, the band played their most iconic anthems last September at the iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One in Las Vegas.
The group lit up the stage, playing hits such as “Pretty Fly (For A White Guy),” “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” “Why Don’t You Get a Job?" and “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid."
Tickets go on sale Friday (May 22) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
