The Offspring brought their high-voltage Supercharged Worldwide in ’25 Tour to Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. 


Supporting acts Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory fired up the night, promising an unforgettable triple-threat experience.


Fans anticipated a dynamic mix of The Offspring’s greatest hits, including “The Kids Aren’t Alright” and “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)," and the band delivered it all.


Performance Highlights

• Dexter Holland's iconic vocals cut through the night with precision, driving audience engagement straight from the first chord.

• The band leaned into their classic punk-rock ethos—brash, unapologetic, and brimming with youthful rebellious energy—even as new material from their Supercharged album likely made its live debut.

• Audience sing-alongs surged through the crowd, turning the amphitheater into a roaring chorus of nostalgic anthems and fresh bangers alike.


Blossom’s natural acoustics once again proved its power to elevate live performances, enhancing every guitar riff and vocal scream. The vibe was electric.


The crowd sang every single song all the way through and Noodles and Dexter had a blast on stage. Fans across all ages joined in, creating a communal frenzy of "whoa-ohs" and fist-pumping anthems. The sentiment echoed throughout the lawn and seated sections—unity and raw energy radiated from every corner. 


This performance stood as a reminder of The Offspring’s lasting potency; celebrating decades of punk influence, they still command stages with the same ferocity as their 90’s heyday—and then some.

 

The band’s mix of nostalgia and freshness—coupled with top-tier supporting acts and a packed, enthusiastic crowd—made the night a standout in the summer concert season.
