The Offspring – headlines of the III edition of the Czad Festival

On Sunday 30 August, the Czad Festival welcomed all participants extremely warmly not just because of the heatwave but also due to the emotional performances of such fantastic bands. There were bands playing on two stages on the last day of the festival and these were Cała Góra Barwinków, Selfish Murphy, Vavamuffin, Skindred, Happysad, The Offspring and Organek.
The first band to play on the second stage was the Polish band, Cała Góra Barwinków. Their hit track „Byłaś serca biciem” is known by everyone. There wasn’t a large audience probably due to the early hour  and the heat, but they showed that even in a not so large group, you can have great fun.
The Rumanian group Selfish Murphy commenced proceedings on the main stage.  The music presented by this band is a mix of classic Celtic music with a splash of rock’n’roll.  The audience greeted them with great enthusiasm.
After some wild rhythm there was time for a moment to relax in tranquility. The Warsaw group Vavamuffin assure this to the rocking and grooving audience.  The group was formed in 2003 and it has elements of reggae, dancehall, raggamuffin and modern roots in its repetoire. Up to now Vavamuffin has recorded 4 studio albums and has thousands of fans around the world where the band has successfully performed.  The cool audience quickly fell for  the Jamaican rhythm and Polish reggae thanks to which the band formed a magnificent interactive chemistry.
After Vavamuffin, it was time to listen to the music of the British group Skindred which combines metal, punk, reggae, dancehall and drum’n’bass in its repertoire.  The bands electrified their fans under the main stage.
At about 8pm, one of the darlings of the festival audience, namely Polish band Happysad, appeared on the small stage. The audience loved their songs, knew the lyrics and sang along with the artists. The musicians gave a totally brilliant performance.
Of course, the biggest attraction of this year’s event was the legendary band The Offspring, whose appearance was planned for the last day of the festival. Their appearance crowned the fourth day of musical madness. The band served up a variety of popular songs from all albums and a few fresh songs that were a pleasant surprise. Exactly at 9.30pm as scheduled, the band led by singer Dexter Holland, guitarist Noodles, bassist Greg and drummer Pete Parada entered the stage. Shortly after a vociferous greeting of the band from the audience, they started playing powerful stuff and the electrifying concert commenced. They started with the track “You’re Gonna Go Far Kid” from the last album. There were, however, songs from the Smach album with the biggest being “Come Out and Play” as well as “Genocide”, “Bad Habit” and “Self Esteem”. They delighted with the “All I Want” track. Besides the performed known track such as “America”, “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)”, “Have You Ever”, “Staring at the Sun”, “Why Don’t You Get a Job?” or “The Kids Aren’t Alright”. The musicians created a brilliant atmosphere which could be felt long after the concert.

Admittedly, they gave a fantastic performance, and there was no lack of strong sound. They made an incredible show, the stage was bubbling with energy and the audience gave their all. Unfortunately, the appearance of The Offspring lasted only an hour, leaving you feeling unsatisfied. After leaving the stage The Offspring fans were still hungry for musical entertainment.
The performance by The Offspring was undoubtedly a great event for Polish fans. The last concert that The Offspring performed in Poland took place exactly two years ago (2013.) at the Orange Warsaw Festival at the National Stadium in Warsaw. At the end of the festival, the band Organek appeared. Despite the late hour, this musical trio gathered a large crowd under the small stage. With an expressive melodies of classic rock and soul music, artists also made time for people leaving the festival.

That’s how this year’s Chad Festival ended. They were four days of great music as well as excellent organization, two stages and beautiful weather. Great music bands that impressed with their performances. Artists who gave the real Chad! The undoubted star of this year’s rock festival was The Offspring, but they were also tenacious, with many attractions and an adrenaline audience, which did not fail to the the last-minute of the concerts. The Chad festival every year becomes more and more recognizable event such as Woodstock or the Cieszanów Festival.
