The Offspring: Supercharged Worldwide in ’25

The Offspring come to Utilita Arena Cardiff in 2025.

Only The Offspring could make an album as high octane as SUPERCHARGED. Aggressive yet melodic, distinctly SoCal yet universal, it’s a record that harnesses the unpredictable live-wire energy of life in the 21st century and turns it into a force both positive and inspiring. 

“The title SUPERCHARGED sure sums up the world right now, where everyone seems to be fired up in real life and on social media,” says Dexter Holland, The Offspring’s founding singer, guitarist, and songwriter. “But it also refers to the sound of some of my favorite records, from AC/DC to Operation Ivy. Whether musically or culturally, that word hits you in a very visceral way.”

Produced by Bob Rock, the 10 songs on SUPERCHARGED capture The Offspring — pivotal in the birth of the Southern California punk scene — at peak strength. Holland’s lyrics are as sharp as a straight razor, and he delivers them via one of music’s most instantly recognizable voices. Lead guitarist Noodles, Holland’s right-hand man since 1985, shreds and slashes. In SUPERCHARGED singles like “Light It Up,” they live up to their reputation as one of punk rock’s most potent creative teams.
