The Offspring Debut in Tel Aviv

The Offspring played a wild mix of their old hits and new songs at the Tel Aviv Expo Center on Tuesday night. The band was especially gracious and excited about coming to Israel for the first time, even inserting Hebrew words like “Shalom”, “L’chaim” and “Sababa” into the performance

The band appreciated the crowd singing along. Lead man, Dexter Holland, and lead guitarist Kevin Wasserman (aka Noodles), paused Bad Habit in the middle and messed with the crowd and warned them they were going to curse.

Balloons and confetti were thrown into the crowd and the stage was “decorated” with dancing man inflatables.
