The Offspring is bringing its Let the Bad Times Roll Tour to Canada this winter with homegrown band Simple Plan warming up audiences.
The 21-city tour kicks off Jan. 27 in Moncton and runs until March 3 in Vancouver. Tickets go on sale Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. ET.
The tour takes its name from The Offspring's 10th studio album, which came out in April. It is the band’s third collection produced by Canada’s Bob Rock.
“This album is probably the most cathartic thing we’ve done,” said frontman Dexter Holland, in a release. “The messages might be dark, but at the end what’s left is that communication is important, working through feelings is important and most of all, hope is important.”
Montreal’s Simple Plan hasn’t released an album since 2016. Last year, bassist David Desrosiers left the band following allegations from several women of sexual misconduct.
