With over three decades on the scene, Bad Religion are iconic stalwarts of the Southern California punk movement. Comprised of equal parts musicianship, rancor and intelligence, the band is known for their onslaught of well-crafted, finely executed songs of social commentary and sardonic wit. Tickets to their live concerts bear the holder witness to relentless, rapid-fire sets that span the breadth of their career, including entertaining diatribes of insight from frontman Greg Graffin. Their 2013 European tour featured over 40 concert dates across 15 countries, treating fans to extended sets of their decade-spanning catalog. Following the release of 2013's True North, which garnered positive reviews and peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200, the band kept fans guessing with the release of Christmas Songs, an album of holiday covers done in the band's signature spitfire style.
Since their inception in the early '80s, Bad Religion has remained vital to the identity of punk and hardcore. Their gold-certified 1994 album Stranger Than Fiction is a classic of the genre, gaining the band widespread attention and their first bana fide hit with the prescient "21st Century (Digital Boy)." In 2002 the band released The Process of Belief, garnering another round of praise from critics for hit single "Sorrow." With a whopping 17 studio albums and two live albums, Bad Religion has achieved commercial success without compromising their upstart ideals, and a legion of dedicated fans looks forward to their 2014 tour dates.

They played the hits and a bunch of the new music!
I have been waiting years to see Bad Religion and they were great. They played a lot of variety (unfortunately skipped most of my favorites) and had a lot of high energy. Venue was OK, not great
Had a dope ass time! Against Me! Was sick, BR was awesome!
Both bands were AMAZING. The only bad thing I will say was that SLS venue was way too "fancy", the bar was expensive, and to top it all off they announced a "no mashing rule" before the shows started, security was actually standing in the crowd watching people and physically removing them if they even tried to jump or mosh. SLS IF YOU DON'T WANT MOSHING IN YOUR VENUE- DO NOT HAVE PUNK SHOWS!!!
Ist time seeing them, live. I have all but a couple of their albums and have always appreciated what they bring to the table. This show was great, the band really nailed it. Song's from their catalog, old & new never fade and they proved it. The Band clearly had everyone enjoying their performance. My only regret is that I wasn't at the barrier to appreciate the up-closeness of it all and to see how these cat's do what they do, using the tool's of their trade. Looking forward seeing them again. Thanx for coming to Las Vegas.
I got there too late to see the opener but heard a good review of him from a friend that got there early. Had never seen against me! Before but they put on a great show. Bad religion, as always, we're incredible. Jay Bentley came down to the front afterwards to take pictures and chat with fans for a solid 30 minutes. Such great guys! Can't wait til the next show.
So my review is more for the two opening acts than it is for Bad Religion. I saw them 20 years ago, and the show felt the same now as it was then. Good, but not my cup of tea. The first opening act was Dave Hause, who played a cool opening set with mostly his brother on a 2nd guitar and no other band. Made for a really cool sound with somewhat of a dueling guitar sound. Atom and Jay from AM & Bad religion joined on drums and bass for the last two songs and they were even better. Next up was Against Me!, and they did not disappoint. Played a nice long setlist for an opening act, and just completely kicked ass. Loved that they played some different songs than the last time I saw them, and I can't wait to see them again. The venue itself was perfectly suited for the smaller rock/punk show, we moved towards the back for Bad Religion, but were right up front for Dave and Against Me!
It was an amazing show! Against Me came out with energy and really got everyone going. I have waited many years to see Bad Religion and it was worth the wait. Those guys are still kickin ass and taking names. Its been a few years since I had been back to Jannus but its definetly a great spot for smaller shows.
Two of my all time favorite bands playing together?!? I had to go. I had no idea who Dave Hause was so I listened to some of his stuff before and thought he would be better live. I still didn't think he fit in. Oh well. Bad Religion and Against me rocked it. Great venue too.
11/10 I took my brother to see Against Me! because we're mild fans. We knew maybe two of their songs. I've only every heard of Bad Religion, never played any of their music for myself, but I heard they were really good and the tickets were reasonable so we went and had an amazing time! Both groups were fantastic! The lead singer of Bad Religion wore a polo shirt to a PUNK concert, I was so tickled! If you're ever considering to see them, please do it!
Bad Religion was awesome as usual. First time I'd seen them headline. They did not disappoint. They even brought LJG out for a song. They were energetic as was the crowd. Greg doesn't look like the typical front man but always brings it. First time seeing Against Me!. LJG was amazing. Amazing enough for me to forgive them for not playing Thrash Unreal.
I was unable to go because of Hurricane Matthew. I hope the show was good. Have wanted to see them for years.
Great Show. Bad Religion was great as usual and liked the new place
This was definitely a great show. Dave Hause was the opener, and he was pretty great. He had very similar melodies to his songs, but his lyrics were great, and about interesting subjects (like autism). Against Me! was amazing as per usual. I only wish their set could have been a bit longer!
OMG! This was probably one of the best concert I have ever been to my entire life. The crowd was amazing and super friendly. All the bands were perfect. I want to do it again
Hard charging set by Against Me! was the highlight of this show for me. Bad Religion never let up through their time on stage and they haven't lost their edge. Great line up and excellent show
Great band great venue. Loved the fact that you could get a drink quick and easy and also bring it out in the floor. BR played songs all across their spectrum. A nice mix. Only issue I had was the vocals got severely drowned out by guitar feedback. Not sure if it was the venue space or their setup. Overall good experience
Suffer and no control got me through a lot of hard times. I wanna generate cash for the band but the merch is hard to buy. Cara Santa Maria is a fan need I say more? The bass player looked like he was having the most fun. I wish the volume wasn't so loud ( I know I'm old but still ) use it like an instrument get loud for the good ones! My fav song was "we're only gonna die"
Admittedly, I am not a fan of either Bad Religion, or the direct support, Against Me. However, I'm always down for a show, and both acts impressed me. Punk music, should be,short, intense songs,and that's what B.R. delivers. 30ish songs in about 90 minutes, without missing a beat. Minimal talking between songs, so the music speaks for itself. Against Me brought the same stage presence of letting the music do the speaking. And they were awesome as well. Opener, Dave Hause, completely surprised me. 2 guys playing guitar, with a keyboard on stage ( for the guitar/keyboard combo) seemed to not fit on this tour. His songs, and his interaction with the audience proved to me that he is someone worthy of headlining status. I bought his cds at the show ( something I pretty much never do) because he was that good. Check out the tour if you can, or at least pick up some music to show support. You will not be disappointed.
The show was great, but I was really disappointed to show up and find that they were only plan songs from 2000- the present. It makes sense to do that, but you have to announce that when tickets go on sale! I would have chosen the other show if I knew that was the case. I can't afford to go to both shows (or stay up that late 2 work nights in a row). TELL PEOPLE IN ADVANCE if shows are specific to less than 1/2 of the repertoire.
