The Offspring’s Supercharged Worldwide 25 tour did not disappoint for the die hard fans who came out and packed the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA.
The first band of the evening was American rock band formed in Coral Springs, Florida, in 1997 New Found Glory. The band currently consists of Jordan Pundik (lead vocals), Ian Grushka (bass), Chad Gilbert (guitar, backing vocals), and Cyrus Bolooki (drums). New Found Glory are widely recognized for their fast and energetic pop-punk music.
New Found Glory brought a tidal wave of energy and early-2000s nostalgia proving once again why they remain pop-punk royalty after more than two decades in the game. From the moment they hit the stage with the explosive “Understatement,” the crowd was instantly electrified—singing, jumping, and moshing like no time had passed since Sticks and Stones ruled their CD players.
Jordan Pundik’s vocals were as sharp and energetic as ever, his voice carrying the weight of youthful heartbreak with ease. Guitarist Chad Gilbert, a constant whirlwind of motion, led the charge with his crunchy riffs and signature jump-kicks, while bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki held down a tight, relentless rhythm section.
The setlist was a perfect mix of classics and newer cuts. Fan favorites like “Hit or Miss,” and “Dressed To Kill” had the crowd in full-throated singalong mode, while other tracks like “Intro” showed the band hasn’t lost their knack for infectious hooks and punchy breakdowns.
New Found Glory still knows how to turn a concert into a celebration of youth, heartache, and everything in between.
The next band of the evening was American rock band formed in Mesa, Arizona, in 1993 Jimmy Eat World. The band is composed of lead vocalist and lead guitarist Jim Adkins, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Tom Linton, bassist Rick Burch, and drummer Zach Lind. They have released ten studio albums, all but the first featuring the current line-up.
Jimmy Eat World delivered a masterclass in heartfelt alt-rock proving that after three decades, their blend of vulnerability and anthemic power still resonates deeply with fans old and new. With a set that spanned their entire catalog the Arizona quartet turned the evening into a soaring, emotional performance.
They opened with the driving “Pain,” setting the tone with thundering drums and guitars that immediately brought the packed venue to life. Jim Adkins’ vocals were raw and passionate, never missing a beat. His sincerity felt palpable, especially during songs like “Let It Happen” and “Bleed American,” which cast a hush over the room.
Mid-set highlights included “Big Casino,” which lit up the venue with energy, and “Work,” a fan-favorite that had the crowd swaying in unison. But nothing matched the euphoric climax of “The Middle,” which sparked a massive singalong that echoed well past the final chorus. Adkins smiled as he stepped back from the mic, letting the crowd carry the melody—a testament to the song’s enduring relevance.
Jimmy Eat World delivered a performance that was equal parts powerful and poignant. With lyrics, tight musicianship, and genuine connection, they reminded everyone that emo isn’t a phase—it’s a feeling, and it’s here to stay.
The Last band of the evening was American rock band formed in Garden Grove, California, in 1984 The Offspring. The band currently consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Bryan “Dexter” Holland, lead guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman, bassist Todd Morse, multi-instrumentalist Jonah Nimoy, and drummer Brandon Pertzborn. The Offspring is often credited for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock during the mid-1990s. During their 41-year career, the Offspring has released eleven studio albums and sold more than 45 million records, making them one of the best-selling punk rock bands.
The Offspring tore through the Xfinity Center last night with the fire and fury of a band still fueled by rebellion, humor, and hooks that haven’t aged a day. From the first blast of “Come Out and Play,” the crowd was immediately launched into a whirlwind of fist-pumping, circle pits, and high-octane singalongs.
The setlist was a greatest-hits thrill ride. Classics like “Want You Bad,” “Looking Out for #1,” had the crowd shouting every word, and others kept longtime fans grinning with delight.
Before their hit song “Hammerhead,” they had two giant inflatable skeletons that were positioned on either side of the stage and they remained their for the remainder of their set.
There was plenty of banter too—Noodles joking about their age, Holland poking fun at the state of the world, and both of them showing clear appreciation for the die-hard fans who’ve stuck with them since the Smash and Americana days.
During “Make It All Right,” they had confetti cannons which sprayed confetti all over the crowd. The crowd screamed and cheered.
They played an Ozzy Osbourne cover of “Crazy Train,” which had the fans hyped in order to remember the prince of darkness passing. After this song, Noodles had a jam session with the band while Dexter took a short break.
The Offspring proved they’re still a force to be reckoned with—fast, loud, and proudly unapologetic. Whether you were reliving your youth or moshing for the first time, this was a show that hit hard and didn’t let up.
