'We're All Pretty Confident': The Offspring & Sum 41 Plan To Make Up For Cancelled Aussie Tour

The huge joint Australian headline run of The Offspring and Sum 41 was one of the many tours to be called off last year due to the COVID pandemic, but there may be hope for those shows. 

Speaking on the latest episode of The Green Room With Neil Griffiths podcast to promote their new album, Let The Bad Times Roll, The Offspring discussed the tour which was scheduled to go ahead last April. 

"We were really looking forward to that tour," frontman Dexter Holland told podcast host Neil Griffiths.

"Supposedly it's just been postponed."

Guitarist Noodles added, "We're in talks to make it happen again now that things are starting to get back to normal, at least in terms of the pandemic.

"I think we're all pretty confident that that's gonna happen..."

Meanwhile on Tuesday night, local promoters Destroy All Lines tweeted that a rescheduled The Offspring tour is slated for "early 2022".

It's time to believe again, punk rock fans.
