So stoked. My Bad Religion concert shirt from the 90s is threadbare now. I've had that sucker 30 years, so I'm looking forward to buying a replacement.
Wow, just checked tickets. Good for the Offspring, they just keep ***ing growing in popularity with Dexter's improvement in health and singing and great hits still coming out on new albums. I was surprised to check the seating chart and see that this show will be easily sold out within a couple of months and that's with MASSIVE ticket prices, too.

I'm happy for the new Offspring, but gone are the days of seeing them for $80 at Grey Eagle every two years. It makes me even more happy that I got to see the Offspring AND Simple Plan at Grey Eagle in 2022 for $80 WITH Dexter's new singing ability. It was one of my favourite concerts ever!

I may get out to Sask or Edmonton.
The Foos are always amazing, and it is sure to be a 3 hour show. Having been to Commonwealth for a few big shows, I can't recommend enough going literally anywhere else on earth to see this show if you can. It's just a total fiasco from start to finish. Basically, the infrastructure can support about 25,000 and the stadium seats 60,000+. Worst concert experience ever, and that's not even considering it's in Edmonton.

I'll be targeting BC Place.

Wait WHAT!? Offspring are coming to Calgary??? I was prepared to fly out to Toronto over the summer to watch them, as I thought that was their only Canadian visit... never got to, but now i might be making a trip in Feb

Mosaic (where I'll be watching them) will be a great venue i think. Even though parking is an effing gong show here.
