The Offspring will embark on a two-month trek across North America this summer in support of last summer's "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace."
The 37-city "The S--- Is F---ed Up Tour" gets underway May 15 in Nashville, hitting amphitheaters and music halls across the continent through the final performance, currently scheduled for July 18 in Pompano Beach, FL. A handful of Canadian shows are also on the books for mid-June. The full itinerary is below.
Opening support will change throughout the tour, with Alkaline Trio, Street Dogs, Shiny Toy Guns, Dropkick Murphys and Sum 41 slated for a few dates each. Pennywise will open the July 2 performance in Toronto.
The Offspring announced the tour with a video spoof posted at their website, with lead vocalist Dexter Holland imitating a presidential address.
Holland declared, "It has come to my attention in recent weeks that the state of our union is deteriorating. To put it mildly, s--- is f---ed up. I cannot and will not sit idly by while the American people suffer. That is why tonight I am announcing a renewed effort to stimulate and arouse the spirit of the American people."
The group rose to fame back in the early 1990s with singles "Self Esteem" and "Come Out and Play" from "Smash," their third LP and the highest-selling album of all time on an independent label. The veteran rock act released their eighth studio effort, "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace," last summer. The album has so far spawned three singles: "Hammerhead," "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?"
