Join us on Saturday, May 16 for a very special screening of 40 YEARS OF F*CKIN' UP: A Film by NOFX! Fresh off its premiere, we are proud to be among the very first to play this theatrical-only documentary which will never go to streaming.
Spanning four decades of provocation, this no-holds-barred documentary dives headfirst into the band’s history: the music, the mayhem, the fights, the fallout, and everything in between. Built around their final run, it’s as much a goodbye as it is a brutally honest look at what it takes to last this long without selling out or slowing down.
