The Offspring Get Raleigh, North To Come Out and Play

The Offspring’s “Supercharged Worldwide in 2025” tour made a stop in Raleigh, NC on 7/16/25 at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek. They brought along New Found Glory and Jimmy Eat World who really fired the crowd up with their 90’s time machine of songs. Instead of just listening to music as the fans waiting on The Offspring to “come out and play” (pun intended), there was some sort of event that went on to get the fans engaged and ready. First off, a person with a gorilla mask came out on stage and used an airgun to shoot t-shirts into the audience. There was also a huge Offspring blimp (picture below) that flew around the amphitheater. Then, on all of the huge monitors, there a type of gameshow where the cam had different topics. There was the kiss cam, the booty cam, the fuck you cam and more! The gorilla went up to the lawn section and upgraded a couple to the front row! Lastly, the screens showed 10 on them and counted backwards to 0. Then, the band appeared and kicked off the show with one of their biggest hits “Come Out and Play.”

The band delivered a high energy performance with Dexter Holland’s vocals and Noodles’ guitar work being a huge part of the show. Their stage presence and interaction with the crowd were key parts to delivering such a great show. The setlist (found after the photo gallery) was a great balance of newer material and classic hits, ensuring both the enjoyment of longtime fans and newer listeners. There was definitely a strong sense of nostalgia as you felt transported back to your teenager years. The stage show itself was very entertaining with confetti, pyro and beachballs which added to the overall experience for everyone. SO many fans in attendance miss the old Warped Tour and made the comment that this felt like they time warped back there. They were glad that the scorching sun and all the walking was missing from the flashback but the tunes were definitely there!

I also have to mention that The Offspring had a travelling art display for fans to check out. It contained rare artwork from the band as well as really cool band pics. There was even a contest for fans to win a pair of The Offspring Vans (one pair per show). It was a cool feature that die-hard fans of the band as well as casual ones could really enjoy. A few pics from the gallery are below after the setlist…
