Following a day of exploring on the SEMA Show floor on Friday, November 6, the doors to SEMA Fest open at 3:00 p.m. PT. Enjoy the atmosphere and check out the rare supercars and hypercars from Supercar Saturdays Florida before the high-energy Globe of Death begins its world-famous stunt show from 3:30-3:50 p.m. PT.
Then, from 4:00-4:40 p.m. PT, The Alive opens the music lineup with a fresh California rock sound rooted in surf, skate and hard-driving live performance. The band cites influences including Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush and Queens of the Stone Age, making them a fitting addition to a lineup built on energy, edge and attitude.
Heart-pumping, tire-flinging drifting demonstrations will then take place in the Optima Unleashed area from 4:45-5:00 p.m. PT.
From 5:10-6:10 p.m. PT, 311 brings its unmistakable blend of rock, reggae, funk and hip-hop influences to the main stage. The band has released 14 studio albums, sold more than 10 million records in the United States and remains known for crowd favorites such as "Down," "Amber," and "All Mixed Up."
The action continues with fresh demonstrations from Optima Unleashed at 6:10-6:30 p.m. PT followed by another round of death-defying stunts from the Globe of Death from 6:30-6:50 p.m. PT.
From 6:50-8:00 p.m. PT, Jimmy Eat World adds its signature anthemic alternative-rock sound to the lineup. The band broke through globally with "The Middle," which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and became one of the defining rock songs of the early '00s.
Following another round of Optima Unleashed (8:05-8:20 p.m. PT) and the Globe of Death (8:20-8:35 p.m. PT), the headliners take to the SEMA Fest stage from 8:40-9:55 p.m. PT. Multi-platinum punk-rock icons The Offspring bring decades of Southern California punk-rock energy to SEMA Fest. Formed in Garden Grove in 1984, the band is known for their generation-defining hits such as "Self Esteem," "Come Out and Play," "The Kids Aren't Alright" and "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)." Widely credited with helping revive mainstream interest in punk rock during the '90s, The Offspring has sold more than 45 million records worldwide.
