The Offspring set to return to Budapest after 7-year break
It’s official! According to concert promoter Live Nation, the legendary American punk rockers The Offspring are heading back to Budapest after a seven-year gap. The band, known for their high-octane shows and anthems that have stood the test of time, dropped their 11th studio album, Supercharged, on 11 October, and Budapest is on the list of stops for their upcoming world tour. Great news for fans – they’ll be rocking the city once again!
Originally formed in 1984 in Garden Grove, California, The Offspring were at the forefront of the ’90s punk revival, along with bands like Green Day and Rancid. With 11 albums under their belt, their unique blend of punk rock and catchy hooks has made them a household name across the globe.
The band enjoyed massive success in the 1990s before taking a bit of a break, during which time frontman Dexter Holland casually went off and earned a PhD from the University of Southern California – as you do. More recently, in 2021, they were all over the headlines after parting ways with their drummer over a disagreement on vaccination rules. But despite these bumps along the road, The Offspring have kept going strong, consistently dropping new music and touring worldwide. Last year, they even shared the stage with big names like Queen’s Brian May and Ed Sheeran.
Talking about the new album, Dexter Holland said, “The title ‘Supercharged’ just felt right for where the world is right now. Everyone seems fired up – whether it’s on social media or out in the real world.” He also mentioned that the album’s sound takes inspiration from some of his all-time favourite records.
The last time The Offspring hit Budapest was back in 2018, but they’ve got a bit of a history with the city, having played there multiple times before – in 2004, 2011, and 2018. Every gig has pulled in huge crowds, eager to hear both the classics and their newer tunes. This upcoming 2025 concert is shaping up to be a perfect mix of their biggest hits and fresh tracks from Supercharged, and it’s already creating a buzz among fans who’ve been following them since their breakout in the ’90s.
The Offspring will be taking the stage at the MVM Dome on 31 October 2025 as part of their latest world tour. It’s going to be one not to miss!
