NOFX wrapped up their farewell tour with three gigs at Berth 46 in San Pedro, California, over the weekend, including their final show ever on Sunday (October 6th). For the very last gig, the veteran punk band played a marathon 33-song set that included notable guest appearances.
All three shows featured festival-style lineups, beginning with sets in the early afternoon. Sunday’s lineup included Fishbone, Subhumans, The Flatliners, Codefendants, Frank Turner, The Vandals, and Pennywise, leading up to NOFX’s headlining set.
Among the special guests during NOFX’s Sunday set was former Mighty Mighty Bosstones guitarist and current record executive/producer Nate Albert on the song “180 Degrees.” A couple songs later, Rancid singer-guitarist Tim Armstrong joined NOFX for a cover of Rancid’s “Radio.”
During the encore, NOFX covered Bad Religion’s “We’re Only Gonna Die” with that band’s Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley. And the final song of the night, “Decline,” featured Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett and dozens of other musicians, including Pennywise’s Fletcher Dragge smashing a guitar onstage.
The final show came 41 years after NOFX first formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The band still featured original members Fat Mike, Eric Melvin, and Erik “Smelly” Sandin, along with longtime guitarist Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta.
