Punk legends Social Distortion and Bad Religion recently announced a 2024 co-headlining tour, and a stop in the Valley is on the schedule.
The bands will perform at Mesa Amphitheatre on April 14.
Social Distortion had to put their summer 2023 tour plans on hold when frontman Mike Ness needed to seek treatment for a tonsil cancer diagnosis. The development also halted work on the band's eighth album, which is scheduled to restart next year. They will be playing the entirety of their debut album, 1983's "Mommy’s Little Monster," at each show in honor of its 40th anniversary.
“Bad Religion and Social Distortion first played together in 1980,” Bad Religion frontman Greg Graffin said in the tour announcement. “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.”
Tickets are now on sale for the Mesa show. Cost is $62.50 in advance and $64.50 on the day of the show for general admission seating. The Lovebombs are the opening act.
