Offspring - Manchester

I had the most fun ever at the Manchester concert! I went there around 4 with 3 friends. We all checked into hotels then raced back to the arena. After waiting for about an hour for A to jump on-stage, I was almost in shock. The crowd errupted! The three friends I turned up with were nowhere to be seen until hours after the show, we were thrown in every direction (in a good way of course!). A were cool, I hadn't heard of them before but I got into the groove of things. A.F.I. were also cool and they totally got the crowd surfers going crazy...and what was the deal with people pulling the crowd ... more

I went to The Offspring concert at the manchester Evening News Arena on the 19th of January.We booked on the ticketmaster page on the internet. It's a great site you can actually pick where you want to be seated, be quick though places were getting booked up pretty quickly. We got to the arena in time for the support band , i've even forgot what they were called. I must admit I was probably one of the oldest in the crowd but who cares. The audience consisted of youngsters wearing baggy jeans ,baseball hats, and baggy tshirts.Sorry but i didn't join in with the attire. When The Offspring came ... more

Hit that! – And they did, beating out a passionate yet crisp and uniformly composed routine of pop-punk-perfection, complete with psychedelic lighting and some of those expensive LED frets (!), old boys of 90’s punk The Offspring hit Manchester’s Apollo last Wednesday on the northern leg of their UK tour.

Dexter Holland (vocals/guitar), Noodles (guitar), Greg K (bass), and new boy Atom Willard, formerly of Rocket From the Crypt (drums, taking the place of Ron Welty), make up the 32million-record-selling-band ... more

I wanna go back! I had the best fun ever that night! I had to go to school that day and the train was late so we got to the arena at about 7:30 when AFI were on. AFI were pretty good but i was pissed off that I had missed A cuz my friend said that they are good. The one moment I had been waiting weeks for arrived though when The Offspring took to the stage. I couldn't believe I was there. My mum almost didn't let me go cuz I'm only 14 but was i so glad she did! The best one they played was Bad Habit mainly becuz that is just such a wkd song. But there wasn't a bad song ('cept Pay The man which ... more

The atmosphere was electric, the crowd were wild, everyone was cheering, and that was just for the support bands! The moment Offspring came on in all their glory, the place went insane! Even from my seat near the top of the stadium I could see everything, the crowd surfers, the moshers, even the occasional fight! With a couple of my mates and my girlfriend, we were still dancing and headbanging with the rest, even though we were on a very high slope! That didn't stop us though, and I still had people falling on me! Offspring was definitely one of the best days/nights out ever, just for the ... more
