Can Nofx Ever Play in the Us Again
NOFX banned in the US?
I saw a video with Fat Mike recently where he briefly talked almost Nofx beingness banned from playing shows in the US because of the joke they made about the Las Vegas shooting. I looked upward their bout dates, and all their upcoming shows are in Europe. I was wondering if anyone knew if they take played whatever shows in the US since that whole incident took place, and too if they really are banned. I hope they're not banned for good. I'd like to see them again.

yeah, they have played in the U.s. since then. I went to the get-go punk in drublic festival they had in u.s.a. (in Portland, OR) after the Vegas incident. They played a bunch of other Us locations after that. Europe is just the current leg of the festival.
level one
The banned in the Usa is a bit of an exaggeration. They lost Stone Brewing's sponsorship for punk in Drublic, and I am certain a few venues didn't want them, only it was more than Mike trying to goose publicity out of it.

Some places got actually buttmad but I think the piss affair pissed more people off.
I don't recollect them existence entirely banned, save for some specific venues.
level 2
the piss matter
Please enlighten me

A band can't be "banned" in the Us. A ring could exist literally based on making light of mass shootings and all the same be constitutionally allowed to arrive forepart of a crowd and play their music. The merely factor that would effectively ban that band would exist lack of back up and, by extension, lack of coin. Plenty of bands have had shitty messages and made a boat load of money in the U.South. - it'southward the ones that no one cares about that neglect. NOFX has millions of fans who will pay to come across them alive. That's really all that matters here.

Look at the mentors for case...
level 1
Rock and certain promoters canceled bookings. They aren't "banned"
level i
they played in May by Columbus OH at Anarchy Camp (same venue as Military camp Punk in Drublic, which they werent allowed to play the year before due to LV incident.)
level 2
I took a photo in the Porta-Potty at that festival in 2018.

They played the terminal Warped Tour in the bay area after that incident so pretty sure they aren't banned since I saw them there. They probably merely pissed off a ton of US venues, and I dubiety you'll exist seeing them in Las Vegas again, and definitely not at Punk Stone Bowling. Damn though, their final Warped evidence was a mess and a half. They were super wasted and tired and had to have Offspring's private jet to arrive from Canada for some reason. They were late to the concert and a bunch of the other bands banded together to play NOFX music while we waited. They ended upwardly getting a motorcade to the venue and played about one-half a prepare. It'due south a good thing they can play well even when they're fucked up and exhausted lol. What a mode to end Warped Tour as a whole.
