Guitar Center, a go-to gear destination for musicians since forever, is turning up the volume on fan experiences. Known for helping everyone from garage bands to GRAMMY winners find their sound, the retailer is now handing one lucky fan the chance to live out a punk rock dream—onstage with The Offspring.
As part of a new sweepstakes inspired by the band’s late-’90s hit “Why Don’t You Get a Job?,” Guitar Center is teaming up with The Offspring to give away an unforgettable concert experience. A statement from the company reveals that the winner “will step onstage to hand The Offspring guitarist, Noodles, his guitar in front of a live crowd and receive a signed Ibanez Noodles signature guitar.”
And yes, that’s the Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman of Offspring fame, who seems just as excited as the fans. “We’ve played a lot of shows over the years, but getting to bring a fan onstage and hand off my guitar is a first,” Noodles said. “Guitar Center has always been part of the gear journey for so many musicians, including me, so teaming up to create a moment like this just feels right.”
The sweepstakes launches July 3 and runs through July 16. The lucky winner (and a friend) will be flown to one of the band’s SUPERCHARGED Worldwide in ’25 Tour stops—featuring The Offspring alongside Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory. The tour kicks off July 11 and runs through September 7, making its way across North America.
“At Guitar Center, we’re always looking for ways to bring people closer to the music they love,” said Guitar Center CEO Gabe Dalporto. “This sweepstakes reflects our commitment to live music and the unique experiences that connect artists and fans in unforgettable ways.”
