Punk rock icons NOFX are giving fans the ultimate career-spanning parting gift. Following the critical acclaim of their documentary film 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up—which premiered at SXSW and has already hit the San Francisco International Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival marketplace—the band has officially announced a massive companion release. 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up: Soundtrack + Score will arrive everywhere on August 28, 2026, as a deluxe double LP, celebrating four decades of ground-breaking, rule-breaking punk rock. The expansive release divides into two distinct musical journeys: a 15-song soundtrack and an 11-song original score. The score marks a bold creative leap for frontman Fat Mike, who composed the tracks alongside collaborator Matt Nasir and performed them with a full orchestra. Meanwhile, the soundtrack side is packed with rarities that diehards have been waiting for, including six unreleased recordings like "Secret Society (demo)," "On The Road (demo),...

After more than four decades of thrashing stages, offending everyone, and somehow never selling out, NOFX’s farewell finally hit the West Coast in the form of a near-perfect storm: Punk in Drublic on October 6, 2024. Set on a concrete pier jutting out into the Pacific Ocean, the San Pedro stop wasn’t just another punk festival — it was the band’s second-to-last show ever. And somehow, impossibly, it managed to feel both ridiculous and profound. A floating circus of noise, nostalgia, and sea breeze, this show proved that NOFX is exiting the stage the same way they entered it — loud, laughing, and giving zero apologies. Only NOFX would throw a sendoff show in a place that felt one broken mosh pit away from slipping into the ocean. The San Pedro Pier, with its backdrop of cranes, cargo ships, and open sky, was transformed into a punk haven.  As the sun dipped below the horizon and salty wind swept across the crowd, it was clear this would be no ordinary goodbye. They opened with a ton...

When NOFX announces that they’re calling it quits after more than four decades, and that their final Southern California shows are happening at the Punk in Drublic festival on the San Pedro Pier, there’s no decision to make — I’m going. Not just for NOFX, but for the celebration of punk itself. This is a lineup stacked with legends, lifers, and new blood, and it’s set on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, where ships roll by and punk history gets made. So I pack up. Take time off work. Hit the road for 500 miles because this isn’t just a show — it’s a sendoff, a pilgrimage, and a party decades in the making. Friday, October 4 – The Fuse Is Lit The festival kicks off hard with Dropkick Murphys bringing their bagpipe-powered street-punk anthems to a crowd ready to scream every chorus. MxPx follows with their polished yet punchy Washington-state energy, while The Bouncing Souls hit the stage with the kind of anthems that define growing up and staying punk forever. Songs like “True Believers” ...
