The Offspring announced Tuesday that it is teaming up with Canadian pop-punk icons Simple Plan for their upcoming Let The Bad Times Roll Tour.
The nationwide tour will kick off in Halifax on October 31, 2022, with both bands expected to hit a total of 18 cities, including Toronto, Ottawa, and Kingston.
The event is named after The Offspring's tenth album, which takes a sharp look at today's biggest cultural moments and political events.
"This album is probably the most cathartic thing we've done," frontman Dexter Holland said. "The messages might be dark, but at the end, what's left is that communication is important, working through feelings is important, and most of all, hope is important."
