The bands that launched a million moshpits are back in Japan for the seventh annual Punkspring festival. In a dream bill for local melocore heads, SoCal warhorse Offspring head up the bill along with Canada’s Sum 41. Bringing the funk to the punk will be Suicidal Tendencies, while Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas take punk to the darkside. Rounding out the bill are LA hardcore icons the Descendents and younger bands like New Found Glory. One-off gigs in town are also scheduled for Suicidal Tendencies and the Descendents.
