Rancid on Tour
Those who say that Rancid are the closest thing modern punk fans have to the Clash aren't far off: Since forming in 1991, the Berkeley band have churned out album after album of galvanizing punk music tinted with 2-tone ska, rockabilly-inflected hardcore and dub reggae. Unsurprisingly, Rancid's raucous, ebullient live shows have also helped the group cultivate a loyal fan base. Tim Armstrong's gruff vocals and the band's thrashing guitars are a throwback to punk's most rebellious days, while their no-frills, hit-packed sets spawn an abundance of fist pumps and mosh pits - with Armstrong even occasionally jumping into the crowd.
Rancid's commitment to making their tours special has also made them a reliable live draw. In 2017, they performed at Lollapalooza in Sao Paulo and also teamed up with fellow rabble-rousers Dropkick Murphys for the From Boston to Berkeley tour. In 2019, Rancid headlined the Bash Festival, a traveling tour that combined craft beer and music, and a separate road show bringing together fellow punk lifers Pennywise and a variety of openers, including hardcore legends Suicidal Tendencies, ska-punk icons The English Beat and up-and-comers Turnstile.
Rancid in Concert
Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman were both members of the beloved defunct Bay Area ska-punk band Operation Ivy. They initially launched Rancid as a trio, however, after second guitarist Lars Frederiksen joined starting with 1994's gold-selling Let's Go, which spawned the modern rock hit "Salvation." Rancid went platinum and landed on MTV with 1995's ...And Out Come the Wolves, courtesy of the life-affirming punk anthem "Ruby Soho," brisk ska jam "Time Bomb" and gritty "Roots Radicals," and they continued to connect well into the 2000s, including on the 2003 alternative favorite "Fall Back Down." In the decades since, Rancid has grown into one of the most consistent bands around, with 2017's Trouble Maker especially demonstrating that the band aren't mellowing with age.
It was amazing to find that I arrive at the venue at 8:40 p.m. and H20 was already done. Would be nice to have shows on a Friday night start at a real time. It was confusing and a bit frustrating since I bought the tickets to see H20 and Rancid. Rancid did rock the house as always. They never disappoint.
I have seen Rancid every time they have toured since 1994, in Southern California and San Francisco. They never fail to put on an amazing show full of energy and great music.
rancid kicks ass. they played for 2 hrs. good venue
I love their performance they sang all my favorite songs, old and new. The only thing, I did not like was the sound at this venue. If you ever get the chance to see Rancid do it, you will not be disappointed.
Amazing show! Great two hour set. Rancid always plays an amazing live set.
Had a great time, wish that people weren't trying to jump over the bars so excessively to get into the pit....after a while it got old.....Rancid was GREAT, i'll definitely go see them again!
This was our first show at P-town's venue. We were really impressed! Rancid was awesome! They sounded great and put on a real good show! We will definately be seeing them again! H20 was good- we aren't into the whole straight edge thing- but they didnt get too preachy. They had some good music... Loved the kid! I spent their whole set cracking up at the 10 year old rocker!
this was my first time at the fox. Great venue, I will definitely be looking at there calendar for future shows now!! AND FREE PARKING!!!
H2O was tight and Rancid was f*cking amazing. You can't go wrong with either of those bands.
It's Rancid Of course it was great! The most honest tight and rocking Band in America
Rancid Rocked for 2 hours. Best show we have seen in a long time. Venue was good and the sound was loud. Only one fight during the acoustic set which was funny. Cant wait to see them again.
Rancid was amazing and I would definitely go see them again!
Killer show a fun band to watch if you ever get a chance to see them. "GO"
seen em many times. will see every time they are in the area. awesome background videos while playing. lots of energy. for old punks they can still jump. i love rancid.
Awesome show!! Only wish Rancid would play more shows. When are they touring again? The sound was phenomenal.
Great show, Awesome Venue!!!! Surprise appearance of Devil's Brigade.
The show was awesome! Rancid gave, as always, a spectacular performance! Can't wait to see them again!
Show was so amazing. Best show i've seen in a long while
Huge energy for a smaller venue but the atmosphere is great, the sound was great. I have seen Rancid play everywhere from the LA Coliseum at Warped Tour to the House of Blues and this club ranks up there with HOB. Great show! P.S. - Matt Freeman's band Devil's Brigade was one of the opening acts so we got some bonus time to watch Tim, Lars and Matt play... L.A. River was one of the songs from DB's setlist. It was awesome.
I had a blast both nights and it was great to see Flea, whose a partner for the Silverlake conservatory, get onstage with them on Fri. night
