Before we dive into the concert review, don’t miss the special art and photography exhibit that was featured at the venue. Hosted by Punk Rock & Paintbrushes, the exhibit showcased works inspired by or featuring members of The Offspring, celebrating four decades of the band’s legacy. Be sure to check it out below!

The Offspring brought their explosive “Supercharged Worldwide In ’25” tour to Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, NC on July 16, 2025, headlining a packed lineup supported by New Found Glory and Jimmy Eat World. The global tour spans multiple continents—Australia, Europe, South America, Asia, South Africa—and over 30 dates across the United States and Canada, hitting major cities including West Palm Beach, Toronto, Dallas, and Phoenix. Conceived to showcase their new album Supercharged, the tour reflects The Offspring’s commitment to delivering high-impact shows fueled by the vitality of their latest material and anchored by their historic punk-rock legacy. While Jimmy Eat World performed earlier in the evening, Indra Magazine was unable to photograph or cover their set due to contractual obligations with the band’s media team.

The Offspring

Originating from Garden Grove, California, The Offspring’s current lineup—Dexter Holland (vocals, guitar), Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman (lead guitar), Todd Morse (bass), Jonah Nimoy (keyboards), and Brandon Pertzborn (drums)—tore through a setlist that fused era-defining hits like “Come Out and Play,” “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” and “Self Esteem” with fresh tracks from Supercharged. Stage visuals were produced by Tait Towers and Stageco, combining massive LED screens with aggressive lighting effects. Sound was engineered by Alex Reed, who kept the mix sharp and immersive. New Found Glory, hailing from Coral Springs, Florida, brought their signature melodic energy with Jordan Pundik (vocals), Chad Gilbert (guitar), Ian Grushka (bass), and Cyrus Bolooki (drums), performing cuts from Make the Most of Itand fan favorites like “My Friends Over You.” Engineer Maria Santos mixed their set. The crowd was unrelenting—singing every lyric, moshing, and crowd surfing from front rail to lawn. Onstage, both bands leaned into punk staples with no-frills wardrobe choices—graphic tees, dark jeans, Converse—and instruments that defined their sound: Dexter’s Fender Telecaster, Noodles’ Gibson SGs, and Chad Gilbert’s Gretsch hollow-bodies. The Offspring, signed to Concord, have released eleven albums including Smash, Americana, and Let the Bad Times Roll. New Found Glory, on Pure Noise Records, continue their momentum with a catalog that includes Sticks and Stones, Catalyst, and Forever and Ever x Infinity. Both groups are recipients of multi-platinum certifications and have supported charitable causes—The Offspring through environmental and cancer-related efforts, and New Found Glory through mental health advocacy. Tour merchandise booths were packed with fans picking up exclusive apparel, vinyl, and accessories. Behind the scenes, the bands shared a relaxed camaraderie, with crew members reporting on lighthearted pranks and shared pre-show meals. Official websites are The Offspring and New Found Glory.
