On August 2, 2025 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey

Come Out And Play ! Or should we say, come out to the Offspring concert. Well, it is the same thing. It is a show, it is a party, and this Saturday it came to PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ.

Eleven studio albums in to their music career the band released the last one in October of 2024 called Supercharged. While this tour bears albums name and style, it is mostly a reflection on a bands storied career as the set covers all of their biggest hits.

With Offspring you don’t have to wait anxiously when the set will start. There is a gorilla running around partying with the fans, dancing and partaking in all sorts of shenanigans, gave two lucky fans a seat upgrade and shot some t-shirts in the crowd. With t-shirt prices going through the roof, it is very valuable catch! Jumbotron on the stage plays all sorts of a different cams, yes a Kiss Cam (of course paying tribute to the famous Coldplay Kiss Cam moment as well), Fuck You Can and my favorite Booty Cam … oh damn, this I say that out loud. With the two minute countdown and behind the stage cam, anticipation and raucousness grew to a Supercharged level.

Come Out And Play ! Obvious choice to start and Offspring show. Punk rockers from California are undeniably mastered the art of a concert to a perfection. The words can’t describe to justify how seamless and excellent their live performances are. Other big names Pretty Fly (for a White Guy), The Kids Aren’t Alright and Self Esteem were left to the end of the show. Pyrotechnics, strobe lights, large screen all helped to enhance the show, but those items never overtook or overshadowed the human element of excellence that current band members Bryan “Dexter” Holland, Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman, Todd Morse, Jonah Nimoy and Brandon Pertzborn showed us this Saturday night.

Full list of the songs the band played on Saturday night in New Jersey – Come Out and Play, All I Want, Want You Bad, Looking Out for #1, (Can’t Get My) Head Around You, Staring at the Sun, Original Prankster, Hammerhead, Hit That, Make It All Right, Bad Habit, Sweet Leaf, Paranoid,
Crazy Train, In the Hall of the Mountain King, I Wanna Be Sedated, Gotta Get Away, Fix You, Gone Away, Why Don’t You Get a Job?, Pretty Fly (for a White Guy), The Kids Aren’t Alright, Lullaby, You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid and Self Esteem.
