The Offspring, which plays Hard Rock Event Center in Tampa, Florida on May 5, 2024.

Josh Freese was the touring drummer of The Offspring when he was asked to join the Foo Fighters in the wake of Taylor Hawkins’ sudden death in 2022.

Filling in his shoes at the Hard Rock Event Center this weekend is former Marilyn Manson drummer Brandon Pertzborn, who’s younger than the California punk-rock outfit’s Smash, an album that knocked the group into punk-rock royalty.

Supposedly, there’s some new material being worked on right now, but in the meantime, expect to hear a healthy career retrospective fronted by original lead singer, main creative force, and hot sauce bandito Dexter Holland.

Tickets to see The Offspring play Hard Rock Event Center at Tampa's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Sunday, May 5 are still available and start at $75.
