About The Vandals: The Vandals formed in 1980 in Huntington Beach, CA, melding fast tempos with humor and sharp social commentary. Their DIY ethic led to the creation of Kung Fu Records in 1996, which began releasing material from 2002 onward, including Internet Dating Superstuds (2002) and Hollywood Potato Chip (2004). The holiday classic Oi to the World! (1996) gained wider fame when No Doubt covered its title track in 1997, helping to popularize the Vandals’ festive punk sound. The concept of Winter Formal—performing Oi to the World! in full—has become a signature, annual event for fans. In 2025, expect continued touring with stops like Irving Plaza in New York and Camp Punksylvania in Gilbert, PA. Bandcamp releases, including the 25th Annual Christmas Formal (2021), keep the band’s holiday material vibrant and accessible.
