Two long-running, Southern California punk powerhouses, Bad Religion and Social Distortion, have announced a co-headlining tour together for spring 2024. Social Distortion will be playing 40th anniversary sets for their 1983 debut album Mommy’s Little Monster. Support will come from The Lovebombs.
“43 years after playing our first ever live show with Social Distortion, we’re finally going to tour together!,” says Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley. “That we’re both still making music and touring the world is a testament to the staying power of SoCal punk rock!”
Bad Religion vocalist Greg Graffin adds, “Though we evolved in different directions, we both carried the torch of Southern California punk all along the way. Now we’re so excited to be on the same stage again.”
The tour includes a big, outdoor, rooftop NYC show on May 4 at The Rooftop at Pier 17. Tickets for all shows go on artist pre-sale today (12/12) at noon local time using the passwords BALLANDCHAIN or SUFFER, and the general public on-sale begins Friday (12/15) at 10 AM local. All dates are listed below.
Mommy’s Little Monster was also reissued for its 40th anniversary, and we’ve got an exclusive grey vinyl variant available now in the BV shop.
