The Offspring Announce 2025 Australian Arena Tour With Simple Plan

The Offspring have announced an Australian tour for May 2025, less than 24 hours after they performed exclusively at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre for this year’s Always Live initiative. The freshly-announced dates come as part of the band’s Supercharged world tour, so named after their 11th studio album – which hit shelves back in October. The full list of tour dates, as well as pre-sale and ticketing information, can be found below.

The tour will mark The Offspring’s first full-scale arena tour of Australia since 2001, when they toured in support of the platinum-selling Conspiracy Of One. Though the band have toured several times in the intervening quarter-century, they have often either played festivals or large theatres – with the exceptions being smaller Melbourne arenas such as Margaret Court and John Cain, as well as regional centres like Newcastle’s Entertainment Centre and Wollongong’s WIN Entertainment Centre.

The Offspring – ‘The Meaning Of Life’

Joining the band as special guests for all of their 2025 dates will be Canadian pop-punks Simple Plan, who themselves are making a quick return to Australia after touring earlier this year. The two bands originally toured together in 2023 across the US, alongside fellow Canadians Sum 41. Their most recent studio album, Harder Than It Looks, was released in 2022. Simple Plan are also set to premiere an as-yet-untitled documentary covering their 25-year career on Prime Video in 2025.
