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.

Bad Religion never disappoints. A great mix of songs old and new.
I had a blast! After 30+ years, Bad Religion still Rocks!!!!
I purchase the ticket to this show to see Against Me. Although I have been a Bad Religion fan from the begining and see them at lease once a year, I was looking forward to Against Me. If Live Nation would have sent out an email noting the lineup change, I would not have made the 50 mile trek on a Thursday night to Hollywood. With all that said, the Palladium Awsome.
B.R. was awesome as always. They played some from new album and some from old. They are all gooood.
Bad Religion was in fine form, and barreled through a great set of their classics and mixed in a bunch of great new material. The band knows how to play to a crowd and they had everyone in the house energized and passionate about the performance they were seeing.
Bad Religion always kills it, and the Fillmore is an awesome venue. This was my third time seeing a Bad Religion concert at the Fillmore, and each time is always better than the last.
We cold not attend because the roads were closed up here in Wyoming! Very upset.
The Newport is my all time favorite concert venue. This was my second time seeing Bad Religion there, and they were absolutely amazing, as always.
Didn't even bother going...the only reason I wanted to go was to see Against Me!
Bad Religion may have been around for 30+ years, but they still put on a damn good show. It ranks in the top 3 of all of the concerts i've been to.
I love the Newport ! Bad religion was absolutely perfect ! Best punk band !
Polar bear club, the Bronx and bad religion all played highly energized sets and their sound was amazing! The only question I have is where was against me??
Good show, fun crowd, the microphones seemed a little low especially for polar bear club and Jay and Brian in Bad Religion...
Awesome show!! Variety of songs old to new Good venue
I didn't care much for Polar Bear Club, but The Bronx was pretty good, but seeing Bad Religion was everything that i hoped it would be and more. The sound was fantastic, and they played just about every song that I wanted to hear from them. They didn't play Skyscraper, but I forgive them. Hands down best band I have seen in a long time! I am praying to the punk gods that they come back!
The Bronx stole this show. BR was, good but they just lost the energy after the Bronx destroyed the place.
THE ENERGY WAS ABUNDANT AND ABSORBED BY ALL TO CREATE A HIGH IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD! MUSICIANS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AS THE LYRICS AND MUSICALITY WAS SHEER GENIUS! THANKS YOU FOR COMING TO PORTLAND, MAINE!!!!!
I have seen every bad Religion show in NY and other area venues since 1990 and i got to watch them evolve, sometimes turning out only two disappointing albums, (They know it because they never play songs from no substance, new america (not as bad as i once thought). This night was filled with some rarely played track from NO Control (The greatest album-lyricaly, perhaps ever) With so many great records they made sure to include material from Suffer, against the grain-two of BR's greatest tracks ever. The latest drummer has picked up where their last two left off (I believe it;s suicidal Tendencies. -making them the worlds largest super punk band including members of Minor Threat and the Circle Jerks) every song was riveting filled with the passion of pure punk from the heart and the great minds of Guerewitz and Graffin. Punk prophets and poets. They are just as important as the Ramones and the CLASH but even more relevant. One unfortunate is the over zealous security and teh venue of terminal 5 which they played last years as well. For their 30th anniversary tour they played a much more fan friendly venue (and cheaper) and not in the middle of nowhere at Irving Plaza. If the Rolling Stones can play 50 years i hope Bad religion can and i hope they fill Barkley's one day. They deserve success!
Bad Religion was amazing at this show. they played over 30 years worth of great music. TYhe big problem with this show is that there was no local opening act at all. Not to mention the bands that did open the show, Polar Bear Club & The Bronx were emo/rock bands. they were not punk bands at all. So I basically paid to see one band.
this was the best show ever! nothing more needs to said
