Formed in Garden Grove in 1984, the band is known for generation-defining hits including “Self Esteem,” “Come Out and Play,” “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” and “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy).” Widely recognized for reigniting mainstream interest in punk rock during the 1990s, The Offspring have sold over 45 million records worldwide.
Jimmy Eat World adds their signature anthemic alternative-rock sound to the roster. The band achieved global breakthrough with “The Middle,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart and became one of the defining rock songs of the early 2000s.
311 brings their distinctive fusion of rock, reggae, funk, and hip-hop to the main stage. With 14 studio albums and over 10 million records sold in the United States, the group remains celebrated for crowd favorites like “Down,” “Amber,” and “All Mixed Up.”
The Alive rounds out the lineup with a fresh California rock sound rooted in surf, skate, and high-energy live performances. The band cites influences such as Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush, and Queens of the Stone Age, making them a natural fit for a bill defined by energy, edge, and attitude.
