If you don't know this already, punk rock band NOFX is by far my favorite band of all-time. I've seen them perform 4 1/2 times. You're probably thinking where the 1/2 come from.. that's for another story. Anyways... 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 22nd in Austin, TX, and concludes in October 2024 in Los Angeles, CA. 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. You get it? 40 songs? 40 years? 40 cities? I'm just making sure you do...

Fat Mike adds, “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.”

I have so many great memories seeing NOFX perform and I know I have to see them one last time! Being able to meet the band during their The NOFX Hepatitis Bathtub and Book Tour was awesome. They were on tour promoting their book NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories. Too bad I didn't get to see the whole show that night... hence the 1/2 show but getting my booked signed prior to the show was amazing. Prior to that show, I saw them at the House of Blues San Diego back in 2009. I think it was the February 4th show. That was probably my second favorite NOFX show. During the concert, Fat Mike threw me a cherry tomato from his cocktail drink and had me eat it. In between songs, he yelled out "who wants my cherry tomato?" I raised my hand and he literally tossed it to me and I caught it. I thought he was joking but he literally just stared at me until I ate it. ha ha. good times. The next night, I ended up seeing Meshuggah. Overall, that was a great week of concerts.
What are some of your concert memories when you saw NOFX perform?
