Descendents & Circle Jerks

When: 12th March 2025
Location: O2 Academy

Descendents were formed in L.A.’s South Bay in 1978, and will be accompanied by Circle Jerks on their latest tour. Coming to Glasgow’s O2 Academy on 12th March 2025.

Descendents began as a power trio featuring bassist Tony Lombardo, drummer Bill Stevenson, and guitarist Frank Navetta (d. 2008). The band recruited vocalist Milo Aukerman in 1980. They began establishing themselves as major players in the Southern California Punk movement. Over the years, the band has sustained a potent chemistry and shared vision, further cementing them as punk legends.

In 2002, the original four-piece lineup — Frank Navetta, Tony Lombardo, Bill Stevenson, and Milo Aukerman — got back into the studio to finally record their first-ever songs. The songs were written by the band from 1977 through 1980, before recording the ‘Fat’ EP (1981) and the ‘Milo Goes to College’ LP (1982). Put simply, this is the Descendents’ earliest material, representing a “lost” pre-MGTC album. Most of these songs have not been heard—until now.
