Social D teams up with Bad Religion

The tour kicks off in Bakersfield, Cal. on April 9 2024. The Lovebombs will open the shows.

Social Distortion front man Mike Ness said, "It gives me great pleasure to announce that in April, we will be going on a nationwide co-headlining tour with our friends in Bad Religion. Yes, we are back in action and can't wait for this tour. We did this with them in Australia in 2022, and the shows were amazing."

Social D had to recently postpone touring due to health issues for Ness.

"We have also decided in celebration of the 40-year anniversary and re-release of 'Mommy's Little Monster' that we will be playing the album in its entirety. This should be a very special tour, and we are all looking forward to it."

"Bad Religion and Social Distortion first played together in 1980," Bad Religion singer 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."

Formed as teenage punks in the working-class suburb of Fullerton, Cal., Social Distortion play rock with Outlaw Country, classic seventies punk and primal blues in the musical mix. Social Distortion also share rescheduled dates for their previously postponed tour with follow SoCal rockers, The Bellrays. Ness enthuses, "I am also happy to announce the tour with "The Bellrays" from last summer will now be happening in September and October 2024. I'd like thank the fans who bought tickets for their patience while we worked on the rescheduled dates. Words can't describe how happy I am to be back onstage doing what I love. See you all soon."
