NOFX Reveals Final Tour Dates

Last year, Fat Mike revealed in an Instagram comment that NOFX would split at the end of 2023. With 2024 on the horizon, the band hasn’t called it quits just yet, but the end is near, as NOFX has added 15 dates in eight North American cities for its final tour. The run wraps up next October with three shows in the Los Angeles area at San Pedro’s Berth 46.

During this final tour, which kicked off earlier this year in Austin, NOFX has performed 40 songs per show, including full albums and rarities. “We’ve played over 2000 shows in 33 countries, in more than 300 cities and darn it…we’re a bit tired,” Fat Mike said. “One thing I know in my heart…this is going to be the most emotional, heartbreaking, greatest tour of our career. I’ve never been so excited and at the same time terrified. Mostly excited…”

NOFX Announces Final Tour: 40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs Per Day

Influential punk band NOFX is known as one of the world’s most controversial and significant punk bands of their time. They are no strangers to pushing boundaries at their live shows, and their final tour will be no different. The dream team of NOFX and Cameron Collins from Brew Ha Ha Productions and the Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival has reunited to curate the first wave of announced tour dates in the United States.

The forty-cities-around-the-world tour begins on April 22 in Austin, Texas and concludes in October 2024 in Los Angeles, California. NOFX will perform forty songs a night, including full albums and rarities, plus they will never repeat a setlist to ensure that each show is unique.

NOFX frontman Fat Mike says: "This is not a final tour like MÖTLEY CRÜE or BLACK SABBATH … These are the very last shows NOFX will ever be playing. We are gonna play with all our hearts…With all our joy…And then we are done. We are done done."

NOFX final tour commences with a massive 21+ punk rock and beer weekend camping festival at Carson Creek Ranch in Austin, Texas on April 22 and April 23 that will feature special guests PENNYWISE , CIRCLE JERKS , FACE TO FACE , RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS , CODEFENDANTS , GET DEAD , BAD COP BAD COP , THE BOMBPOPS , PEARS , PIÑATA PROTEST and more.

Tickets for these shows go on sale this Friday, January 13 at 10:00 a.m. PT at www.PunkInDrublicFest.com. Options include single day, the Bro Bundle, VIP, and more including a digital download of each show with ticket purchase.

Initial tour dates are as follows, with more European dates, venues, and lineups to be announced soon:

NOFX formed in Los Angeles back in 1983. They were forged in the same fiery furnaces of the L.A. hardcore scene that gave us BAD RELIGION , SUICIDAL TENDENCIES , THE GERMS and DESCENDENTS . NOFX sharpened their teeth in that tumultuous talent pool until they joined forces with Epitaph Records in 1989 and went on to release a string of crucial skate-punk albums. Their first major breakthrough came in the form of 1990's "Ribbed" , still a fan favorite, they then followed up with now-classics "White Trash, Two Heebs And A Bean" and "Punk In Drublic" , the latter selling well over a million copies. That was a wildly successful decade for NOFX as the band popularized the Warped Tour and was the flagship band for the skate/surf/snow culture of the 1990s.

NOFX 's career-long ban on doing the mainstream press and media was lifted as they sought to actively share their dissent for the Bush administration and speak out against the invasion of Iraq. And once the floodgates were open, NOFX and their "Rock Against Bush" movement were everywhere: Newsweek , Rolling Stone , New York Times , Howard Stern and network television. All that high-profile interest and hype was reflected in the success of their 2003 record "The War On Errorism" , which was the No. 1 independent record in the country at the time if its release and topped Billboard 's indie chart.

NOFX Announce Final Tour: “These Are the Very Last Shows”

"This is not a final tour like Mötley Crüe or Black Sabbath... We are done done."

NOFX will say goodbye to their fans with a farewell tour beginning this spring and running through 2024. The veteran punk band has just announced initial dates for what will eventually be a 40-city run.

The “Final Tour” is billed as “40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs Per Day.” In announcing the farewell trek, NOFX have unveiled dates for eight cities thus far, including two “campout” weekends.

The campout in Austin will also feature Pennywise, Circle Jerks, Face to Face, and more.

Frontman Fat Mike affirmed that this will indeed be the band’s last-ever tour. “This is not a final tour like Mötley Crüe or Black Sabbath,” he stated. “These are the very last shows NOFX will ever be playing. We are gonna play with all our hearts… With all our joy… And then we are done. We are done done.”

Formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, California, NOFX is an American punk rock/ ska punk band currently consisting of members, Fat Mike, El Hefe, Eric Melvin and Erik Sandin.

In 1983 Mike Burkett (Fat Mike) and Eric Melvin met and started the band, and were later joined by Erik Sandin. The group released their first album in 1985 with Mystic Records. The band then underwent a lineup change, but through the changes, the original three members remained intact. In 1986 the band released an album attacking the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) for their campaign against music censorship with “The P.M.R.C Can Suck On This.” Following this album was “Liberal Animation” in 1988, which was recorded with Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz.

The collaboration with Gurewitz led to the band signing with Epitaph Records, and releasing their third studio album “Ribbed.” Shortly after the release, Aaron Abeyta, aka El Hefe, replaced Steve Kidwiller on guitar, followed by “White Trash, Two Heebs and A Bean” being released in 1992. In 1994 they released their best selling album, “Punk in Drublic” and received support from the mainstream media, as well as reaching certified gold.

Following a series of record releases that all fared well, the band made the move to sign with Fat Wreck Chords in 2005. The band continued to release albums that challenged the social and political systems that they didn’t agree with, and did so in true punk fashion.

Live reviews

NOFX, as many bands playing the main stage at the Reading Festival do, once performed in front of a banner stating their name. No surprises there, except theirs was about the size of a tea towel, visible to only the front few rows (who found the whole thing hilarious, of course). As an act, it pretty much summed up what makes them continually endearing – their refusal to pander to the rock and roll game, and a bratty sense of humour that still dictates the legendary punk rock band’s every decision even as they enter middle age. They might never have had a hit, but the devotion of their fans is palpable, with everyone from those in their early teens to hardened, Mohawk sporting gentlemen who can remember a time before colour television belting back ever puerile lyric that emanates from singer Fat Mike’s mouth. Circle pits and rampant moshing are commonplace, but the atmosphere is one of joyous release rather than aggression. One word of advice though; if you’re in the front row and Fat Mike offers you a drink, perhaps politely decline – it’s probably not meant for human consumption, unless you’re in to some particularly racy stuff in your private life.

Report as inappropriate

Fat Mike, El Hefe, Eric Melvin and Erik Sandin are the foursome that make up NOFX, a punk rock band of American origin. Although the band enjoyed their hay day (if, indeed, they even got to celebrate such a thing) in the 80s, boasting a pretty low score of hits, they nonetheless garnered a great deal of underground attention and built quite the fan following. NOFX are far from gimmicky, if anything the band is surprisingly low key and understated for their genre. But each member is truly talented and the band represents real, rockin’ American punk. They have mastered their musical capabilities to exceptional heights over the decades and slowly cemented their tongue-in-cheek bitterness only to combine the two in what was a brilliant, nostalgic and tongue in cheek performance. The crowd went crazy for classics such as 'Bottles To The Ground', 'We Called It America' and 'Murder The Government': they belted the lyrics along in full force, to the surprise and delight of the band. Fat Mike commented his delight that someone knew the lyrics because the band had long forgot them. All in all a great night.

NOFX, the Californian punk rockers have been working as a group for thirty years now and over this time they have learned both how to play their music to an exceptional level and how to entertain the masses with their tongue in cheek performance style.

Something of a cult phenomena in the UK, the band never matched the commerciality they achieved in the States yet fans from far and wide have packed into London's Shepherd's Bush Empire to see the classic material played alongside the new stuff. Starting with a piercing '60%', the band begins with an unimaginable high amount of energy that never really seems to falter.

As the crowd claps, cheers and sings along through favourites including 'Bottles To The Ground' 'We Called It America' and 'Murder The Government'. There is a sense of bitterness in nearly all of Fat Mike's vocals and the audience enjoy mimicking this during their singalong. The band thanks the crowd sincerely and explains they are the reason they continue to visit British shores and give them a modern day taste of Americana punk.

Useless ID was amazing, they had awesome stage presence and their music was tight. Pears was explosive and super fast, I was so excited when they played some of my favorite songs (Snowflake in particular). Then NOFX took the stage, oh boy, Fat mike was pissed that Trump won the election. Given the recent political mayhem in the US, they played songs like "Murder The Government" "The IDIOT has Taken Over" and "Leaving Jesusland". Now let me say, If your not a fan of NOFX you wouldn't like this show. NOFX is famously lazy in their playing and stage presence, but that just added to the experience for me. The entire crowd was a pit when they played "Separation of Church and Skate" and I got elbowed in the side of the head a couple of times. 10/10 would go deaf again.

The concert was the day of trumps election, and the previous show mike sprained his ankle. Suffice to say Fat Mike was not having a good night, and it showed. The band was totally not into playing and you could tell they just wanted to get off stage. CLASSIC NOFX, awesome show 10/10 would get called a poser again.

Amazing as always.

Now I'm just writing something else to comply with the rule that a review must be at least 30 words long. Kind of an utterly moronic rule, since I don't really need more words to describe a performance such as this one.

It was awesome! They were entertaining, energetic and just great! Good music, great laughs! It was just so cool how they interact with the crowd! Looking forward to seeing them again!

Show was amazing. No complaints. Keep up the good work. Drink stands were food. Service was good. Security was good. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the good experience.

I loved the show, but I could do without all of the starter bands. NOFX only played for about an hour and a half compared to the 6 hours of starter bands.

L.A. punk heroes NOFX will wrap up 40-year run in 2023 where it all began

NOFX, the Los Angeles punk band known for “Linoleum” and “Don’t Call Me White,” will be no more in 2023.

On Wednesday, frontman Fat Mike casually dropped the news in the comments section of a post on his Instagram page. A frustrated fan asked the singer-bassist why NOFX “barely” performs in Canada. The fan received a response, but it probably wasn’t the one expected.

“Actually, We love Canada, it’s just that next year will be our last year,” Fat Mike, whose real name is Michael John Burkett, replied . “We will be announcing our final shows soon. It’s been an amazing run.”

That run began nearly 40 years ago in 1983 with Fat Mike, guitarist Eric Melvin and drummer Erik Sandin as the founding members. In 1991, Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta joined the group as lead guitarist and trumpet player.

Punk, Politics and Platitudes From NOFX

Musically, there isn’t much that distinguishes L.A.’s NOFX from countless other neo-punk outfits.

Feb. 3, 1998

Responding to a separate comment on his Instagram post, Fat Mike said, “Los Angeles will be the last place we play. It’s where we started, it’s where we’ll end.”

NOFX has yet to release an official statement on the impending breakup, but Rolling Stone confirmed the news.

The band released its first recording, “Thalidomide Child,” in 1984 and dropped its first self-titled EP a year later.

NOFX’s debut album, “Liberal Animation,” arrived in 1988 and featured songs such as “Beer Bong” and “Shut Up Already.” A sophomore album, “S&M Airlines,” was released in 1989.

Nose-Thumbers NOFX as Obnoxiously Fun as Ever

Although MTV exposure virtually guarantees bands a certain amount of success, there is a small but exceptional network of (mostly punk) rock groups that shun the commercial machine and still manage to sell tons of records.

Feb. 26, 2001

In the ’90s, NOFX rose to popularity as part of a wave of California punk bands that included Green Day, the Offspring and Rancid. That decade proved to be a busy as NOFX released six albums including “Ribbed” (1991), “Punk in Drublic” (1994) and “Heavy Petting Zoo” (1996).

“Its musicianship has improved since it formed in the mid-’80s, and despite singer-bassist Fat Mike’s unremarkable voice, NOFX easily holds its own alongside such contemporaries as Green Day, the Offspring and Rancid,” The Times wrote in February 1998.

The band’s latest album was 2021’s “Single Album,” which came nearly five years after “First Ditch Effort.”

Since May, NOFX has been making its way around Europe and North America as part of its Punk in Drublic festival . The band will next perform on Saturday at the Edmonton Expo Centre in Alberta, Canada.

NOFX Announce 2023 Breakup: “It’s Been an Amazing Run”

By Rob Arcand

NOFX —the Los Angeles skate punk band currently made up of Michael “Fat Mike” Burkett, Eric Melvin, Erik “Smelly” Sandin, and Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta—are officially breaking up in 2023, Rolling Stone reports and a representative for the group confirmed to Pitchfork.

Burkett indirectly announced the news on Instagram, where he replied to a fan asking why NOFOX don’t tour Canada very often. “Actually, we love Canada, it’s just that next year will be our last year,” he wrote . “We will be announcing our final shows soon. It’s been an amazing run….”

NOFX formed in 1983, when Burkett met Melvin and first adopted the band name. In 1984, they released their first demo recording, Thalidomide Child , which was reissued in 2012. They were later joined by Sandin on drums, self-releasing their debut album Liberal Animation in 1988. The LP has since followed by more than a dozen studio albums, including 1994’s Punk in Drublic , 1997’s So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes , and, most recently, 2021’s Single Album . The band is currently on tour as part of its Punk in Drublic Festival.

NOFX to Break Up in 2023: ‘It’s Been an Amazing Run’

By Emily Zemler

NOFX will call it quits in 2023. “Fat Mike” Burkett, singer and bassist of the punk rock group, announced the pending split in a reply to an Instagram comment on an unrelated post, noting that next year “will be our last year.” Rolling Stone has confirmed the news.

Asked why the band doesn’t come to Canada more often, Fat Mike replied, “Actually, we love Canada, it’s just that next year will be our last year. We will be announcing our final shows soon. It’s been an amazing run….” In response to a separate comment, the musician added, “Los Angeles will be the last place we play. It’s where we started, it’s where we’ll end.”

2023 would be a fitting conclusion for the prolific band as it marks NOFX’s 40th anniversary. The group’s most recent release, Single Album , dropped in 2021 on Fat Mike’s label Fat Wreck Chords. NOFX was formed in Los Angeles in 1983, and together they have released 14 full-length albums.

NOFX has not yet made an official statement addressing the breakup.
