Bad Religion Announce Summer 2019 North American Tour Dates
Coming after last week's release of their latest full-length effort, Age of Unreason, (a self-described "album's worth of Fuck Trump songs") punk legends Bad Religion have announced a world tour to follow.
Kicking off with some European dates this month, an expansive North American jaunt to launch in June takes the band from Camp Anarchy, to Warped Tour's anniversary shows, clear through to Aftershock later this year.
See all the dates toward the bottom of the page.
Age of Unreason was preceded by Bad Religion's controversial 2018 tune "The Kids Are Alt-Right," but that song doesn't appear on the album. Instead, "The Profane Rights of Man" and "My Sanity" helped pave the way for the 14-track blitz that dropped last Friday (May 3) via Epitaph, the label owned by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz.
"The band has always stood for enlightenment values," Gurewitz explained via press release regarding Age of Unreason's themes as well as the group's well-established stance against the establishment. “Today, these values of truth, freedom, equality, tolerance, and science are in real danger. This record is our response."
