NOFX were late to Warped Tour, so Thrice, Sum 41, Starting Line & more covered their songs
The West Coast edition of Warped Tour‘s 25th anniversary celebration went down this past weekend with Jawbreaker, Face to Face, Fishbone, Bad Religion, The Offspring, Quicksand, Andrew WK, The Aquabats, Circa Survive, The Starting Line, Thrice, Sum 41, The Vandals, and more. NOFX were also scheduled to play, but they were late after having some travel issues (they had to take a private jet after their flight was cancelled), so members of Thrice, Sum 41, The Starting Line, Circa Survive, The All-American Rejects, and more played a bunch of impromptu NOFX covers to hold over the fans.

So … this was a thing that happened today. I used to cover this song with my old band like 25 years ago. Sorry I’m rusty. Haha. https://t.co/8P5tkH6cHV
