The recording features the talents of founding members Dexter Holland, Noodles, and drummer Pete Parada, as well as the group’s latest addition, bassist Todd Morse.
The Offspring’s UK and Ireland tour will visit Dublin, Cardiff, Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Manchester and Leeds in November, with The Hives set to provide support on all dates.
After nearly two years of not playing for our fans, the idea of getting in front of the UK crowds is beyond exciting!” The Offspring said in a statement. “We can’t wait! See you soon!”
The Hives added: “Yes it’s true! The Hives will join The Offspring on their UK/Ireland invasion spreading the California punk sun by adding their own unique unf_kwithable version of arena garage rock. Missing out on the fun is for idiots. Sincerely, The Hives.”
The Hives recently completed a virtual world tour, with the Swedish band playing a number of shows “from a hermetically sealed, virus-safe bunker in Sweden” for their fans across the globe.
