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.

We missed almost the whole show due to universal not being able to handle traffic for Halloween horror nights 0|10 would not recommend going to a show during HHN universal should pay for my ticket and parking worst night of my life for real. Worse then when my kids father left me for another woman kinda suck.
Been wanting to catch Bad Religion in concert for a while after seeing them years ago. Jumped on this opportunity and have been dreaming of what I’d like to hear. As soon as the set started it was like they read my mind and played almost every song on my dream list. Couldn’t have asked for a better show.
Venue was nice and clean, all of the staff were wearing masks and very nice! Had a lot of fun!
Venue was killer! Plenty of security and staff around which made us feel safe! To get in they just scanned my phone as my ticket which was very easy and convenient! Thanks for an awesome night y’all! So great to see live music again!! :)
It was Bad Religion, so of course it was awesome. Universal sucks, too much traffic, too many lines. I will put up with that to see Bad Religion.
The show was great! I had never been to Jannus Live before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I loved that there were women in the bathroom dispensing soap and keeping the bathroom tidy. I made sure to tip them. I also liked that there were multiple bars, so we didn't have to stand in a long line for drinks. Security seemed to be on top of most things. There was a kid sitting alone in a corner, and security made sure they were okay. We could hear music coming from somewhere else, and at one point Greg Graffin from Bad Religion even joked about it. We met some great people, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I do wish there had been an option to sit somewhere. I would definitely see another show at this venue.
Bad religion is the best. Great setlist, high energy and they brought it to the stage.
This is the second time I’ve seen BR at Janus Live( previously Janus Landing), they were spot on with all of their songs and the acoustics of this venue really made the experience better. I was happy to finally hear “better off dead”, played live! As long as they keep playing in St Petersburg, I’ll continue to buy tickets
This was my first post pandemic gig, so it had been two years since my last gig, so I was really looking forward to it. I love Bad Religion and Alkaline Trio and had seen both many times in the past. I also love the Jannus Live venue and have seen dozens of gigs there in the past. My experience was a huge disappointment. Firstly the venue smelled of raw sewage - it was really unpleasant. Secondly, the sound was terrible. I’ve attended at least a thousand gigs over forty years, so I knew that, traditionally, support bands get poor sound and minimal sound checks, so when I couldn’t hear the vocalist for War on Women clearly, I was not surprised. I was really disappointed when Alkaline Trio started - all you could hear was drum and bass. Matt’s vocal and guitar were muddy and indistinct. I k ow that this was not the band - I’ve seen AT at least a dozen times and normally all the guitar and vocals are clear and the songs are distinct. This time, it sounded like AT played the same song for 75 minutes. We were so disappointed with the sound and the sewage smell, we left the venue before Bad Religion even came on. Come on Jannus - you can do so much better than this
Alkaline Trio and Bad Religion are amazing and to see them live on the same bill? Yes yes yes 10/10 will do again forever.
The awful experience with the venue almost ruined the amazing experience of these great bands. The bands played great. Everyone else was deeply unpleasant, pushy, extremely restrictive and security repeatedly manhandled me unnecessarily, repeatedly interrupting the enjoyment of one of my favorite songs. I'll probably never go back to the Tabernacle again but I hope to see both bands against next year.
They rocked! It was loud! War on Women rocked as well.
All these years and these guys continue to bring it. I can't wait until they roll through Atlanta next time.
Everything about this show was epic! It's an experience that can't be described! I can't wait for next year!
This is hard for me to even say because of how much I love this band but the show wasn't very good. Sound mixing was probably the worst out of any concert I've ever been to. Greg's mic might as well have been off with how low it was. No balance to any of the instruments much less individual ones. Was straight lead guitar with a snare drum for a solid hour. Alkaline Trio didn't seem to have these issues performing right before them so it was just sad to hear.
BR is the most eloquent, poetic, prophetic, musically gifted, consistent, high-energy punk band around. They've been performing with integrity, speed, and pristine accuracy for over 40 years, and they did not slow down nor disappoint! "Old men" Greg Graffin, Jay Bentley, Brian Baker et al. TORE THE PLACE DOWN with their unmistakable chord crunching, rhythms, vocals and harmonies!!! I especially loved hearing several of my favorite cuts from the early '80s and '90s. Alkaline Trio and War on Women were amazing, too! Venue and staff were stellar, mosh pit was safely sustained, and I think everybody walked away in high spirits. Hope they return to Riverside, CA after their 2021 tour!!
The wait for refreshments was a little long but I’m willing to chalk that up shaking off the rust after so long with no events. Pending a negative Covid test result, I’d be willing to upgrade this to a 5 star experience.
Never been to this venue in Riverside.. municipal auditorium... great old building, clean and perfect size.. opening band was kick ass, glad we went in for it.. War on Women.. then Alkaline Trio.. also great band.( the reason we went). then of coarse Bad Religion.. all worth the money and had a great time..
The lines for beer, and merch could have been longer
They were so good!!!! The venue was intimate yet packed house. They did check for Covid card or swab verification. Most people weren’t wearing masks inside at all. But the sound was amazing. Bad religion was everything expected and more!
