The fire, according to the band, started when “something of a vehicle flew in front of us” on the way to the show in Rimouski, Quebec, and got stuck under one of their own cars. “Everyone was able to get out of the car safely, but the luggage, passports, laptops and basically everything else was destroyed,” the punk rockers write in a video that shows large flames and thick plumes of smoke from the car.
The performance at the festival in Rimouski, where The Chainsmokers and Flo Rida were also programmed, has continued. The Offspring scored worldwide hits in the late 90s with songs like Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) and Why Don’t You Get A Job.
