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.

Great show, all the bands sounded great! I came for Alkaline Trio, but was impressed with War on Women and Bad Religion killed it!
Great Venue! Amazing Bands ! What more could you ask for?
The venue was great, hadn't been to this one before, and it was really nice. Alkaline Trio was great, but their sound guy needed to be smacked in the head since the mix was off. Bad Religion was awesome, and the sound for them was perfect.
The bands were great. The sound quality in our seats was only ok at best. I have now been here for seven shows and the only decent area for sound quality is on the upper level. The price of tickets here is a little high but nothing is as bad as the ridiculously over priced beer and drinks here.
These two bands were great as always. I've seen them more times than I can count and they always put on a great show. My only gripe is that the sound at the Met is awful. It reminds of the old Electric Factory where it's just super loud and not balanced at all.
Alkaline Trio and Bad Religion rocked out, but the PAs made them sound like they were in a tunnel 500 feet away. Great show, total bummer that the sound quality was so sub par at the Met
Opening act War on Women we’re simply awlful; just loud screaming. Alkaline Trio was good but sound could be fine tuned to sound a little more crisp. Bad Religion was OUTSTANDING. Sound was great and quite clear.
Alkaline was so tight, bad religion is everything i thought they would be. Absolutely awesome!
What more can I say? War on Women, Alkaline Trio, and especially Bad Religion were all on fire. Awesome energetic performances, and the Met Philly is a super nice venue.
I have been to hundreds, maybe more, concerts in my short 40 years, and unfortunately this was one of the worst. I love both Alkaline Trio and Bad Religion, and have seen both plenty of times in the past. This honestly was the worst. The instruments were turned up too loud (the sound was louder than it should’ve been anyway, but I digress) to the point where you could barely hear the singing of any band. I realized this with the first band, so I bought earplugs. They did not help, nor did it get better. This was my first and last time at the Met in Philadelphia. I also feel the cost of the ticket was too much for the experience. Otherwise, the staff and the crowd was super friendly, but that does not make up for the horrible sound.
2nd time seeing Bad Religion Live- AWESOME performance, great set, Greg Graffin & co sounded killer, and perfect venue for a punk rock concert.
Can't beat Bad Religion when it comes to longevity AND consistency. The show was amazing. My first post-covid show. Definitely not the kinda setting for the unvaccinated, but as a recently boosted healthcare worker, I felt safe enough. The Fillmore is one of the best venues I've seen them in, after now 23 shows.
I waited to see Bad Religion since 1999. Never had a chance to see them live. This time I did. The energy was unmatched, completely smashing. Greg's voice is the same as in 1987, young, bright and musical. Whoever writes their music is a genius composer. 5 stars is not enough. I'll give it 12 out 5 stars. Will go again in 2022 if they come again.
War on Women were… Alkaline Trio was amazing, they played songs from throughout their career and it was an incredible journey. Non stop awesomeness. Bad Religion was sublime. They’ve been together since 1979 and it shows in how polished and amazing they were live. Plainly put, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Since the Asbury show was cancelled in 2020 I was sad and bummed out! When I saw they were going out in 2021 I immediately bought tickets! I’m always down for an Alkaline Trio show and they never disappoint! War On Women had an amazing set, and they earned a new fan that night! I haven’t seen Bad Religion in almost 20 years, and they haven’t skipped a beat! They were incredible to say the least, and I’m so happy they’re consistently killing it!
I have seen everyone from Tony Bennett and Gordon Lightfoot, to the other extreme of Slayer and Slipknot and many genres in between. Bad Religion has been a band I've wanted to see for quite some time. Originally I had tix for their Oct 31st show in Asbury, which got canceled. I considered just passing on this tour, but was in close enough proximity to NYC to grab tix for the Hammerstein show. Boy am I glad I did! From the start, the crowd was completely engaged, and any concert goer knows how important that is to creating a good vibe. Non stop dancing in the pit, volume was perfect, the band is a well oiled machine and still have the intensity of shows I've seen them do from the 90s. Absolutely 💯 satisfied with the band, show, openers, and venue. I've easily seen over 100 bands/group's if you consider headliners and opening acts, and I left with such an upbeat feel that i dont always get from other concerts or venues. If 80s, 90s and 2000s punk is your wheelhouse, don't sleep on Bad Religion!
I've seen the band for more than half life, too many times to count now, but what I can remember is that this band always delivers live.
Threw my vape away during entry but people were smoking cigz and cigars inside venue 🤣🤦♂️
The show was amazing. The bands were happy to be on stage and you could tell. I have seen both bands countless times, but this show was the best by far. I am flying to Columbus to see the show again on the 10th. I can’t wait
I’ve waited over 30 years for that show and it didn’t disappoint!
