Rancid, Pennywise, Suicidal Tendencies to headline inaugural The Bash Music and Beer Festival

Rancid, Pennywise, and Suicidal Tendencies are some of the acts who will headline the first ever The Bash Music and Beer Festival this spring. On Tuesday (Feb. 19), festival organizers announced the rocking roster for the inaugural event as well as a mini-tour itinerary for the festival throughout May and June.

Joining the aforementioned acts on the bill are L7, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, H20, Madball, Noi!se, and Sharp Shock. The upcoming music festival is a joint venture between the Rancid guys, Synergy Global Entertainment, Inc., and Brew Ha Ha Productions.

The lineup for the first annual event was specially curated by the members of Rancid.

“I’m looking forward to playing with some of my favorite bands in the world. Pennywise, Suicidal Tendencies, L7, and more. We look forward to seeing everyone out at the Bash,” Tim Armstrong of Rancid says in a press statement.

“I am a massive fan of these bands, and the chance to launch this event with Rancid is really exciting for SGE,” John Reese, CEO of Synergy Global Entertainment and co-producer of The Bash adds.

“The band has been so engaged in developing this special series of shows, and it shows how much they care about their fans.”

In addition to the music-centric list, the music festival also boasts a huge lineup of breweries. Each date of the Bash will host craft beer tastings (for those who are 21+) from some of the best breweries in the country. The lineup of breweries will include tons of local favorites as well as well-known breweries. In total, attendees who are 21+ can sample from a selection of over 100 different craft beers.

The Bash begins its mini-tour on May 11 at the Margaret T. Hance Park in Phoenix and includes a total of seven stops in May and June.

The Offspring “Warm Up” at Rock Am Ring

The Offspring recently announced their plans to head out on tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their hit album, Smash. In honor of the milestone, the band also announced that they will be performing the record in full during the tour as well as their sets at Riot Fest.

Before embarking on their Summer trek, the band warmed up by performing Smash in its entirety at Rock Am Ring in Germany. Thanks to someone, maybe the festival organizers, the footage from the show was record and is now available to watch. Of course hit songs, “The Kids Are Alright” and “Self-Esteem” made the cut since they are part of that album.

Pennywise and Bad Religion will be joining the Offspring on their “The Summer Nationals” Tour which will begin on July 29 in Pittsburgh.

The Offspring to Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Smash’ in a Big Way

The Offspring may or may not be considered one of the godfathers of the punk-rock world, with their random appearances at festivals and concerts or just by putting out catchy tunes (cause they’re pretty fly for white guys). We can attest to that, the first and only time we saw the Offspring was at Warped Tour in 2005 and remember something about a word beginning with the letter “F” and ending in a “K.”

“It’s ‘FIRETRUCK,’ guys!”

But even though they have been in the game for such a long time, it might be surprising to find out that their hit album, Smash will be turning 20 this year. To this day, Smash has sold over 12 million copies and is still considered one of the best-selling independent records of all time.

In honor of the anniversary, the band have already announced plans to release a vinyl/CD reissue of it in August, but that’s not all. Today, an announcement was made, letting fans know that they still have it and will be hitting the road to celebrate the 20 year anniversary.

The tour will feature them performing Smash in its entirety, but once again, that is not where the surprises en. The Offspring will be joined on tour by Bad Religion and/or Pennywise as well as The Vandals, Stiff Little Fingers and Naked Raygun opening on certain dates.

A lot to take in in such a short time span.

And if that wasn’t enough news, a leaked press release shows that the band will be performing at a Chicago venue that is still TBA on September 12 meaning they will be performing at this year’s Chicago Riot Fest.

Yep. Offspring new overload.
