You hear that? That’s the sound off thousands of wallet chains and Hurley t-shirts descending on Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre for the “Let The Bad Times Roll Tour.”

This morning, ’90s MTV punk darling The Offspring announced the new 24-city tour, with a Tampa stop on Wednesday, Aug. 16.

The tour also features pop punk favorites Sum 41 and Simple Plan.

“One of the best things about being on tour is traveling the world playing to great audiences, and it’s even better when you can do it with your friends – we had sold out International tours with Simple Plan and Sum 41, and we’re excited that they’ll be joining us this Summer in America. It’s going to be great!” said Dexter Holland of The Offspring in a press release.

Tickets go on sale for Citi card holders on Tuesday, March 21, while everyone else can grab em on Friday, March 24 at LiveNation.com.
