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.

The whole was great! Bad Religion was AWESOME!!! Loved the mosh pit that I describe as courteous chaos. Great POSITIVE energy!!!
The first 2 acts were forgetable. Too bad Rise Against canceled. However, even 33 years later, Bad Religion was awesome. A great mix of old and new music.
This show will make you feel like a dissatisfied angry punk kid again- in all the right ways!
These guys are still amazing! They have been around for years and they rock. I totally recommend seeing them if they come back.
Let me start by saying the house of blues is an amazing venue, great setup and bars. Bad Religion on the other hand seems a little past their expiration date. While the performance was decent, it was way to short. Kinda feels like they are just tired old men this point. They lack the passion they once had, and it resulted in a dull, lackluster, quick performance. Can't say it enough though, the house of blues is venue that can't be missed!
It was truly amazing to see them playing live! Please keep coming back to Orlando.
Kick ass show. Looking forward to seeing it again in another town! BR fans rock. What a great time, great energy!
Great show awesome performance like always!! Always coming back better than ever... memories when I was younger!
Full of energy- never missed a beat. Excellent mix of old and new songs peppered with razor sharp wit.
As a 24 year old, I've grown up goin to shows with more movement from the performers than actual singing. This is not that. Bad Religion does look like a group of dads in a jam band together and although they don't move like the did, they played amazing. They sounded great and were having a blast. We were really bummed to hear that Against Me! couldn't play the show but hey it happens. You should see this at least once.
The show was outstanding. Bad Religion still kills it! That said, The Ritz Ybor continually over sells the venue forcing the Fire Marshal to block the entry to the main hall, denying patrons re-entry if they step out to use the restroom. UNSAT!
Bad religion was amazing as always. The sound guys and security at the ritz was pretty lame though.
The show was excellent! I've seen them before, so this time I hung back a bit as to not get killed in the pit (this one looked pretty intense!), and it was still great. Worth the money.
Bad Religion still rocked it even when they're 50.
It was a great show. They played all my old favorites including Punk Rock Song, Infected, Stranger than Fiction and American Jesus, among others. Band was tight and sounded just like they do on their CD's. Graffin has a great stage presence about him. Lone complaint was that House of Blues staff said they were going on at 10:20 but they went on at 10 while I was still in the Foundation room having a cocktail. I didn't miss much. Highly recommend the band and the show. We had reserved seats and the mosh pit was fun to watch.
Bad religion played an awesome set! Made it to the venue as sound check for bad religion was going on. Needless to say, I made it right on time. Bad religion played some songs from the latest album and did plenty of the older stuff as well. Once the set was done they returned and played four more songs. The crowd was into the show non stop and singing along with Greg for a majority of the songs. Bad religion is always great to see live.....30 years going and still strong!
True to the fans. They played all of the classics and a good variety of the new songs.
An absolutely amazing show. Even though the band was mourning the loss of the drummers mother, they played without missing a beat. They played songs from their entire career and it ended up being a huge sing-a-long. If you get a chance to catch them live, go and see them - it's well worth it
opened up or Rise again, just weren't good and not very entertaining.
Haven't seen them for 15 years and they still rock just as hard! Love this band!
