Closing out the festival on Sunday, August 2, will be punk legends The Offspring. This marks a return for Dexter Holland and the band, who last played Festivent a decade ago. With 40 million albums sold, they are set to deliver a memorable performance featuring hits like “You’re Gonna Head Far” and “Kid.” Le Journal de Québec reports that the lineup is already generating excitement among festival-goers.
