Legendary punk rock band MISFITS headlined the Aftershock festival last night (Saturday, October 9) in Sacramento, California. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below. The initial comeback performance by MISFITS members Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein took place at the 2016 Riot Fest.

Since then, the original lineup of the MISFITS has reunited for scattered dates, with the most recent pre-Aftershock one taking place in December 2019 at Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Prior to the Riot Fest concerts, Glenn, Jerry and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein last performed together on Octo...

THE OFFSPRING guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman says that the band canceled its concerts in Denver and Salt Lake City earlier this month after he tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. On Saturday (October 9), Noodles took to his Twitter to write: “I tested positive for Covid on the 27th of last month.

In a new interview with Pablo of the Minneapolis, Minnesota radio station 93X, GHOST mastermind Tobias Forge spoke about how he spent the downtime during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Obviously, most of this year has been working in the studio with a [new GHOST] record that we’re not talking about [right now]. But the year before, which forced most people [to stay home], staying domestic was actually a quite nice recuperation for me. I’d been on tour for pretty much a decade, [so] just being home and just being with my family and all that, which I feel very invigored by.” He added: “[Touring] is great. It’s fun as hell, and I miss that as well. But sometimes you need to go back to harbor and just remember why you&#...
