Calabash South Africa with Fokofpolisiekar, The Offspring, and more

Formed in Bellville, South Africa, Fokofpolisiekar is a post-hardcore band known for their bold social commentary.

With albums like *Lugsteuring* and *Swanesang*, they influenced African music by tackling Afrikaner identity and challenging conservative norms. Despite controversy, they found success with side projects like Van Coke Cartel, aKING, and Die Heuwels Fantasties, and released a documentary in 2009.

The Offspring, icons of Southern California punk, have sold 45M+ albums worldwide with hits like "Pretty Fly." Current members include Dexter Holland and Noodles.
