NOFX bass player and frontman Fat Mike exclaimed, “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.”

And yesterday, NOFX announced another farewell tour date to take place on Saturday, September 30th in St. Petersburg, Florida.

NOFX formed in 1983, and their 40-year career has been a rollercoaster of successes and failures. The band was one of the pioneers of the West Coast punk scene and launched a decade’s worth of music that blended punk with elements of ska, funk, and pop. Over time they evolved from brash outsiders to adults who never lost sight of their original mission – to make honest music that speaks to real life issues. Now after decades together, NOFX has announced their last tour as a band.

The announcement came as an ultra shocking surprise to many fans because NOFX seemed to still be going strong with new music coming out constantly over the years. But the members felt it was finally time for them close this chapter in their lives together so they can focus on individual projects and families.
