Bad Religion & Social Distortion

18 Feb 2023

Tix from $109.90

Punk rockers of Australia and New Zealand unite! For the first time in history two of the most influential and enduring punk bands of all time are heading down under together. Fans never thought they would see the day so get ready to tick this off your bucket list as LA heavyweights Social Distortion and Bad Religion team up and hit our shores in February 2023.

• Traversing multiple and significant line-up changes, internal challenges and tragedies, and the demise of the very Los Angeles hardcore scene that conjured them for over four decades, California mainstays Social Distortion have spent a lifetime honing their uncompromising rootsy, hard-hitting brand of punk since first emerging back in the late 70s.
• Following the release of the group's debut 1983 album Mommy's Little Monster , Social Distortion 's transformation from pioneers in the then-fertile L.A hardcore scene into a distinctive sonic force to be reckoned with saw the group become one of the few punk bands to be featured on MTV in its 80s glory days and, over time, branching out to cement their now-trademark blend of punk, blues, country and rockabilly. Currently in possession of seven studio albums, with whispers of an eighth full length release on the horizon, Social Distortion 's live prowess is overshadowed only by the passion and innovation relentlessly on display onstage, fearlessly helmed by the band's founder, guitarist and vocalist Mike Ness . This is Social Distortion’s first Australian headline tour ever and their second time coming to Australia in over 40 years so it’s fair to say we may not see them ever again!
• Bad Religion have become synonymous with retaining their underground credibility alongside building a staggering punk empire since forming back in the early 80s. Constantly on a journey of evolution and philosophical exploration, Bad Religion 's storied career, including 17 studio albums and the label as one of the best-selling punk rock bands of all time, has seen the group remain relevant and vital in the hardcore community while welding their trademark sonic foundations with inflections of psychedelia, heavy metal, hard rock and lashings of melody along the way.
• With front man and remaining original member Greg Graffin 's steadfast guidance, Bad Religion have defied the odds and expectations of an ever-changing industry around them, touring the globe armed with an overwhelming back catalogue of material, including fan favourite tracks like American Jesus and 21st Century (Digital Boy ). Don't miss out on seeing Bad Religion next February, their first Australian headline tour in over a decade!
• 2023 will undeniably declare punk's not dead - be sure to catch Social Distortion and Bad Religion live in action when they bring their explosive live shows to a town near you.

Bad Religion & Social Distortion Announce 2023 Tour

Bad Religion and Social Distortion will join forces for a historic tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2023. The tour doubles as the first Social Distortion headline tour of Australia in their history.

Bad Religion and Social Distortion will join forces for a historic tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2023. The pair of Los Angeles punk icons will unite down under for the first time, bringing a combined 87 years of punk mastery with them. The tour doubles as the first Social Distortion headline tour of Australia in their history.

The two LA heavyweights will kick off the tour in February at Trusts Arena in Auckland before making their way over to Brisbane’s Riverstage, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne and the Red Hill Auditorium in Perth.

Traversing multiple and significant line-up changes, internal challenges and tragedies, and the demise of the very Los Angeles hardcore scene that conjured them for over four decades, California mainstays Social Distortion have spent a lifetime honing their uncompromising rootsy, hard-hitting brand of punk. Following the release of the group's debut 1983 album Mommy's Little Monster , Social Distortion's transformation from pioneers in the then-fertile L.A hardcore scene into a distinctive sonic force to be reckoned with saw the group become one of the few punk bands to be featured on MTV in its 80s glory days. Over time the band branched out to cement their now-trademark blend of punk, blues, country and rockabilly. 

Currently in possession of seven studio albums, with whispers of an eighth full-length release on the horizon, Social Distortion's live prowess is overshadowed only by the passion and innovation relentlessly on display onstage, fearlessly helmed by the band's founder, guitarist and vocalist Mike Ness . The tour will be Social Distortion’s   first Australian headline tour ever and is only their second time coming to Australia in their 44 years of existence.

Responsible for penning timeless punk staples Generator, Suffer, American Jesus , 21st Century Digital Boy, You, I Want To Conquer The World, Do What You Want  and countless more, Bad Religion have defied the odds and expectations of an ever-changing industry, remaining as innovative, influential and important as ever. The tour with Social Distortion marks their first headlining tour of Australia in more than a decade.

A monumental punk rock double-bill hits arenas this summer

Punk rock royalty Social Distortion and Bad Religion are joining forces for an epic Australian tour that will hit huge venues around the country next February.

The tour, which sees the bands play four shows across the country, will be just the second Australian visit from Social Distortion following their appearance at the Soundwave festival over a decade ago.

Mike Ness formed his band Social Distortion 45 years ago and they quickly became one of the brightest lights in the incredibly strong Californian hardcore scene. They stayed punk, but became more melodic through the 80s and 90s, bringing in elements of country and rockabilly along the way.

It has been over a decade since the band released an album, but Ness recently promised they would hit the studio next month, which bodes well for the chance to hear some new Social Distortion when they're in Australia.

Though, with so many incredible songs from across their seven records, there's no shortage of anthems to get excited about seeing.

Bad Religion are one of the most enduring acts in punk rock.

Greg Graffin has kept the band thriving for over 40 years and ensured they stay relevant after 17 albums and countless other releases, including recent singles like this one .

There are few bands in punk more influential than them, and few who have had such a direct impact on helping the genre find an audience in the mainstream.

This double bill is a dream for fans of west coast punk rock, chuck it in your calendar and get ready to cut sick.

Here are the dates. Tickets are on sale from Tuesday 30 August.

Friday 17 February – Brisbane Riverstage, Brisbane

Saturday 18 February – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney

Sunday 19 February – Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne

Wednesday 22 February – Red Hill Auditorium, Perth
