So here we are—tickets for The Offspring’s OVO Hydro gig in Glasgow have taken a nosedive to £65, yet fans are throwing shade over the UK tour set list. It got me thinking—could Mercury’s current jumbled dance be messing with the band’s vibe? I mean, when the stars are all out of sync, is it any wonder some set lists come off as a hot mess? While the Supercharged Worldwide in ’25 Tour has fans buzzing with stops across London, Newcastle, and Manchester, there’s a split crowd debating if the set’s more “greatest hits” or “missed opportunities.” Some hardcore Offspring aficionados aren’t thrilled with the mid-set covers and the way classic tracks get chopped up, while others swear they were blown away—there’s even chatter about whether the band is playing it safe for casual listeners or risking it for the core fans. Whether you’re a die-hard ready to belt out “Come Out and Play” or just sizing up the scene, there’s plenty to unpack from ticket prices to what the actual set list looks like under these cosmic conditions.

Tickets for The Offspring’s OVO Hydro, Glasgow gig on November 18 have dropped to £65, but fans are frustrated over the UK tour set list.
In case you missed it, the band’s Supercharged Worldwide in ’25 Tour is well underway, after kicking off in Cardiff earlier this week.
The UK run is a welcome chance to see the Californian punk rockers on British soil, as the group will stop by the likes of London, Newcastle, and Manchester this month.
The shows have gone down a hit so far, but fans have called the set list ‘frustrating’.
On Reddit, one wrote, “I saw The Offspring for the third time recently and they’ve always wasted a frustrating amount of time in their set lists since I first saw them in 2021, but their 2025 set wastes even more time, and I’m here to vent incase the band sees this and knows how we feel.

But according to the fan, the set list begins to slow down at the midway point, as the band pauses to talk between a run of cover songs.
“It’s definitely tailored to super casual people who don’t mind hearing familiar cover songs and prefer it over the band’s own catalogue because they only know a few hits,” they continued. “You may disagree and love the 2025 set, and that’s fine, but the needless cutting up of Hit That and Original Prankster when they have PLENTY of time frustrates me.”
A second fan wrote, “It’s funny that they’re one of my favourite things to listen to, yet I would never go to their show. The entire set is either unrelated, or mainstream heavy, agonisingly tailored to casual listeners.”
A third added: “I haven’t seen them in 11 years for much of this reason. Any band that has been around with a massive catalogue will run into these issues, but you have to play some deep cuts. They’re rotating covers instead of originals. I’ll go see a cover band if I want that.”
Meanwhile, others are pretty happy with the set list. One shared, “I saw them for the first time ever in Amsterdam last week, and I had read all the comments about their poor set list before going, but I was blown away. They played pretty much all the songs I wanted them to and they sounded awesome live.”
