The Offspring are coming back. On June 9, 2026 they'll headline Rock in Roma for their only Italian date. Opening the night will be A Day To Remember, among the most beloved names on the international metalcore and pop punk scene.
For the Californian band, it's a much-anticipated return to our country, following last September's sold-out show at Milan's Unipol Forum, in front of 12,000 fans. Tickets can be purchased here.
In more than thirty years of career, Offspring have established themselves as icons of Californian punk, keeping intact that irreverent, contagious spirit that made them a touchstone for generations of listeners.
On the Rock in Roma stage they'll bring all their usual live power, with a show that promises high-tension moments and surprises for longtime fans. The current lineup features, alongside frontman Dexter Holland and longtime guitarist Noodles, bassist Todd Morse (ex H2O, Juliette and the Licks), drummer Brandon Pertzborn (formerly with Marilyn Manson, Limp Bizkit, Suicidal Tendencies) and multi-instrumentalist Jonah Nimoy.
The night will also feature tracks from the new album "Supercharged" (Universal Music). "The album title sums up well the energy of the times we're living in," Holland explained. "Everyone today seems 'supercharged,' both in real life and on social media. But it's also a reference to the sound of my favorite records, from Ac/Dc to Operation Ivy: that word conveys something instinctive, visceral."
Here's the likely setlist for the Offspring's Rome show, based on the one performed on June 6 in Nuremberg.
