Bad Religion is hitting the road with Social Distortion early next year. The trek kicks off April 9 in Bakersfield, CA and wraps up May 19 in Columbus, OH.
“I loved Social Distortion as a kid, and I love ‘em even more now,” Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker said in a statement. “I am thrilled and honored to be sharing stages with them this fall. This is one for the history books, folks.”
“That we’re both still making music and touring the world is a testament to the staying power of SoCal punk rock,” bassist Jay Bentley added. (Fun fact: the bands first performed together in 1980.)
Social Distortion will perform their 1983 debut album Mommy’s Little Monster in its entirety as a belated celebration of its 40th anniversary. “This should be a very special tour and we are all looking forward to it,” frontman Mike Ness said.
