NOFX wrapped up their final live tour with three shows over the weekend in San Pedro, California, as part of their Punk in Drublic Festival.Their last ever live concert on Sunday (October 6) had 33 songs on the setlist and featured special appearances from Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett, Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley.The American punk-rock band formed over four decades ago, and announced the stacked lineups for their final shows earlier this year.

Each of the three shows had festival-style lineups, starting with performances in the early afternoon. Sunday’s agenda featured Fishbone, Subhumans, The Flatliners, Codefendants, Frank Turner, The Vandals, and Pennywise, all building up to NOFX’s headlining set.The band’s penultimate song was one they had never performed live or released before: ‘We Did It Our Way’, a self-referential take on the Frank Sinatra classic.

As Rolling Stone reports, frontman Fat Mike told guitarist Aaron “El Hefe” Abeyta: “This is a song we went over in the trailer, and you didn’t remember it,” to which Abeyta replied; “oh, right.”Fat Mike introduced the song as their way of thanking the fans and everyone onstage.

Following some sentimental opening chords, the band kicked into their signature high-energy punk sound, while Mike recounted the band’s history, from how he met guitarist Eric Melvin in 1983 to how they’ve “been brothers” ever since.Check out some fan-taken footage of NOFX playing ‘We Did it Our Way’ at their final gig on Sunday night.Fans have also been reminiscing about the gig on X and posting footage from the iconic final performance, including clips of NOFX playing with Bad Religion.Very emotional night.
