Southern California punk legends SOCIAL DISTORTION have announced an epic co-headlining tour across the U.S. with Epitaph labelmates BAD RELIGION that kicks off in Bakersfield, California on April 9, 2024. With additional support from THE LOVEBOMBS, the two iconic bands will join forces to bring their signature sounds and beloved catalogs to stages across the continent, showcasing their enduring legacy and influence on the punk rock movement.

SOCIAL DISTORTION frontman Mike Ness comments: “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!”

He continues: “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 rebellious teenage punks in the working-class suburb of Fullerton, California, SOCIAL DISTORTION survived their tumultuous youth to pioneer an undeniably honest and fiery brand of rock ‘n’ roll that would incorporate outlaw country, classic seventies punk and primal blues. Seven studio albums and countless electrifying live shows have earned the band a dedicated worldwide fanbase and catalog of timeless anthems, including “Story Of My Life”, “Ball And Chain”, “Prison Bound” and more. The band’s last release, “Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes”, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 4 and in 2019 they celebrated 40 years as a band.

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.”

Artist pre-sale tickets are live today at 12 noon local time with codes BALLANDCHAIN or SUFFER. The general on-sale will be December 15 at 10 a.m. local time.
