Bad Religion has announced three decade-spanning sets. The band will spend three days at New York City's Irving Plaza with Off With Their Heads and The Aggrolites. They're calling these three shows: A Celebration of 30 Years.
October 20th: Playing songs from How Can Hell Be Any Worse? to No Control [LiveNation]
October 26th: Playing songs from Against the Grain to No Substance [LiveNation]
October 27th: Playing songs from The New America to The New Maps of Hell and Beyond [LiveNation]
Wait a minute! No Substance and The New America? Could it really be?
Tickets go on sale August 28th at 12pm for $27.50 and VIP 3 Day Passes will also be available for $99.00. [LiveNation]
The 3 Day VIP Passes include:
- a ticket to all 3 shows
- front of line access
- a group photo taken with the band one hour prior to doors on 10/26
- a copy of the new CD
- a limited edition poster created just for this event.
Note: The band will not be playing the full albums, but only songs from the aforementioned albums.
Bad Religion @Irving Plaza, NYC 5/15/1998
Extra tidbit - This is not the first time Bad Religion is playing themed sets. In 2008 they also played a bunch of similar shows at House of Blues.

depending where you stay, rooms in nyc arent that bad. best western at south street seaport are only 180 plus taxes. from that hotel to irving is only like a $10 cab ride.

I hope so, themarkovian. Also hope they will make a DVD of these shows.
I am going on the 20th and 26th. I'm doing the 3 hours from Baltimore to NYC and back each night rather than drop $$$ on a hotel room. |

08/30/2010 at 09:27
Did the 3 day passes sell out already?? UGH THIS LIVENATION SITE IS THE WORST.
SERVICE CHARGES EAT SHIT |

by the way, isnt jay their booking agent...?
but currently and for a long time now their average ticket prices are 30 euros / 30 dollars (?) i think, everything that is much higher for a single concert is fishy... |
|
|
08/27/2010 at 15:17
Exactly. I'd never trust a site like Absolute Tickets. It's looks too cheap/ home-made/ amateurish for an "official" ticket seller (what kind of company uses a hotmail e-mail address!?).
|
|
|
08/27/2010 at 15:14
I don't get it Denyse. Aren't you going to get a refund for the tickets you bought for a show that now isn't going to happen? And can't you then just buy tickets to the Irving Plaza show that same night, in the same city? What's the big deal?
Heh, I think this is the first time I've ever heard someone on this site get mad at BR for playing EXTRA shows in their town. |
|
|
08/27/2010 at 15:11
yeah, google is your enemy when it comes to ordering tickets. i always get some shady ticket reseller in the first results, that sell tickets for 100 euro and such jokes...

It was announced on the Bad Religion Tour Dates, on the Bad Religion Site.
I saw it with my own eyes, and Stub hub, Absolute Tickets and another agency were selling them. and Yes I understand that NOW there are 3 shows for only 27.50 a piece... totally lame. I am holding my tickets now and that's all that matters in the end. DONE... |
|
|
08/27/2010 at 14:14
There was indeed a list floating around the internet on which the Roseland Ballroom was mentioned for October 20, but that date (and others as well) was not confirmed at that time. Not even ticketmaster, livenation or the venue's website mentioned anything. So now there will be 3 shows in total in NYC (Irving Plaza) and none at Roseland... |
|
|
08/27/2010 at 14:03
It wasn't unreasonable at the time because they were only going to play 1 show in NYC!!! now they are playing 3...
And yes it was at the Roseland Ballroom over by where Mr. Letterman does his late night. It's cool I still absolutely love Greg Graffin... but just not his booking agent all that much right now! All and All I just got my Tix in the main and am grateful we get to see them on this tour. Just none too pleased about the money I am losing! No worries |
|
|
08/27/2010 at 13:47
Where did you actually buy those tickets a month ago?
|
|
|
08/27/2010 at 13:44
Also I should point out that I highly doubt the band was responsible for pricing changes. It was probably just the venue. Anyway, you paid the price, so obviously you didn't think it was too unreasonable at the time.
|
|
|
08/27/2010 at 13:42
@denyse,
Do you mean the Rosemont Ballroom, NYC that supposedly would take place on October 20? |
|
|
08/27/2010 at 13:36
Please don't hurt Dr. Graffin denyse. Maybe you can just scream at Hetson and Jay will pay you.
|
|
|
08/27/2010 at 13:33
I'm pissed right now... ABSOLUTELY FUMING! I bout my tickets a month ago for the Roseland show and surprised my husband for our anniversary! I paid a TON of money for them and NOW tickets are like $60! Yo Greg Gaffin... I am going to have some NOT SO NICE words with you the night of the 20th of October!
|
|
|
08/27/2010 at 10:03
Well, I bought my tickets for NYC on the 20th and 26th. Now, who else is going?
|
|
|
08/26/2010 at 08:41
It's funny. Back in the day we found a Brian Baker Junkyard 'baseball card' that his sister had. He saw no other option but to burn it in an attempt to keep Brian's Minor Threat image alive. Luckily BR picked him up and we can all forget about those days.
|
|
|
08/26/2010 at 05:41
I love how they used a Sears Portrait Studio background for their "tough" band photo. Greg probably puts his old skull jacket on every once in a while... then pukes up his dinner and cries himself to sleep :D |
|
|
08/26/2010 at 03:32
well if we go into that direction, brooks would actually fit in his old cloths: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/bandpics/bad4good.jpg
|
|
|
08/26/2010 at 03:19
I think Brian would loooove to put his old outfit on: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/bandpics/junkyard.jpg
|
|
|
08/26/2010 at 03:08
i would say, graffin and baker might have a problem with that... |
|
|
08/26/2010 at 00:31
It would be great if they wore their old 80's and 90's clothes on the first and second show.

I wonder, can I get away with taking 2 days off work and rescheduling my chemistry exam...
|

|
08/25/2010 at 07:40
Got my tix to all 3 nights! Fuck you ticketmaster
Presale password is FLUTE |

08/25/2010 at 07:22
Got my tickets!!!!
|
|
|
08/25/2010 at 07:07
This is rad. At first I thought I could only go to the 10/20 show... I teach at night... but I think I cancel a few more classes for BR. Bahaha. Soooo excited!!!!
|
|
|
08/25/2010 at 05:47
im in.

|
08/24/2010 at 16:35
Oh, shit.
I didn't read the whole thing before I posted that last comment! |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 16:34
I wonder will they play at least one album in it's entirety. If they did, it would probably be Suffer, because I remember earlier in the year Jay said he wanted to play that in it's entirety and I was thrilled because that meant they'd play Part IV (my favorite BR song), but the rest of the band didn't want to do it.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 15:26
Lol Kavo! Yes! I asked jay about three times for a show in New York. When I first found about the news I almost has a seizure. Anesthesia here I come! |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 14:30
Nick, you're one lucky bastard!
I remember earlier in the year, you asked Jay about the North America tour and saying that you hoped you got to see them or something. I bet you weren't expecting this! |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 14:11
I am really anxious to see the setlists for these shows once they've happened.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 14:04
I was thinking that lots of people see 2010 as the first year of a new decade, so there are actually 4 decades
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 13:55
Awesome!
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 13:37
on WEEKNIGHTS?!?!?!? Excuse me while I go kill myself.

Gaaa, this is the week before I go to NY. damn!

no, THANK YOU. NEXT |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 11:10
dude, won't front of the line access get first dibs on seats(standing)
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 10:49
Wait a minute: Individual tickets for all 3 shows will come out $82.50. Why would I pay an extra $16.50 for front of the line access (I've never experienced any huge line problems at Irving Plaza), a group photo with Bad Religion (so, I and about 100 other people?), a CD I've already pre-ordered and a friggin poster. That is a suuuper lame bundle option. I'll save the $16.50 thank you very much.

|
08/24/2010 at 10:45
Wow, a copy of the new CD too?? Buyers of this VIP package are actually ripping Brett off. ;)

08/24/2010 at 10:18
I live one hour from the city suckers!!
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 10:01
Damn you BR....Why can't you ever do something special for us southern Californians.....instead of those spoiled New Yorkers!
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 10:01
So why the assumption that they won't play any ITU or BttK? Live Nation's leaving that possibility open.
Anyways, I'm dying for them to do this in So Cal. n1ck and the rest of you New Yorkers (and adjacent states): you sure as hell better film this shit every night from start to finish. We depend on it. |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 09:12
This is pretty much an east coast version of the theme nights from 2008 in CA and Las Vegas |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 08:59
I'd love to see Bobby play a song or two, even on guitar if he can't manage the drums. I am sure he knows every of his era BR song on guitar. It'd be great to see him again.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 08:48
sure hope so. Don't get me wrong. I think it's cool that they're doing it in the first place. And BR fans in NY probably don't get to see them as much as I do being from LA. It sounds to me a lot like the "themed" setlists they did a few years back with "the oldies", "the not so oldies", and "the new" songs. However, the one difference that I see, if I'm reading the announcement correctly, is that in 08 when they did the themed setlist the majority of the songs were from the corresponding era. They were still throwing in some NMOH, of course they closed with Sorrow, etc. It looks like this time all of the songs they play will be from the corresponding decade, without those filler songs?. |

i say goodbye to you my friends :D i have to go swimming - from germany ;)
joke apart - i hope for a dvd release so much :) |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 08:27
Most definitely they will do this in California too. If they do it in January/February, I will be there!
My words exactly. They should also release a CD+DVD SPECIAL EDITION. That is, a TRIPLE-DVD and TRIPLE-CD PACKAGE one for each decade + A SIGNED PRINT of an album front cover. Also, DVDs would come with behind-the-scenes material of the band rehearsing some of these tunes. And if Bobby is still living in New York, he would get to play some songs for the 2nd show. ;) |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 07:49
It doesn't make any sense to me why they would do such an amazing event in NY, when they're an LA band. Oh well. Ahardy55 & n1ck, enjoy the show.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 07:48
Anyone got a presale code for tickets? Live Nation saying tomorrow, 8/25, tickets available.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 06:58
I've lived in NYC for the past 5 years, and this is the first time I've ever been glad about it.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 05:59
and it's because of such things that I really want to live in the US sometimes.
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 05:09
that vip pass sounds like a very very good deal
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 02:21
This would be worth a trip to NYC IMO... Tickets are not that expensive (at least from Europe)...
But I have other stuff planned and it drives em crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyajjjgsdhgsdf DVD ??? |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 02:07
I suspect that the information came from Livenation... and that they filled in the album names themselves. If the only info they have is: 1st decade (1980-1989), 2nd decade (1990-1999), 3rd decade (2000-now), it's only logical that the guys at Livenation mentioned TNA and NS. Of course, not knowing these albums are most likely to be skipped.
10/20 - Playing songs from How Can Hell Be Any Worse? to No Control 10/26 - Playing songs from Against the Grain to No Substance 10/17 - Playing songs from The New America to The New Maps of Hell and Beyond |

08/24/2010 at 01:38
my birthday is oct 23... any chance you guys willing to make this shit happen for me?!

08/24/2010 at 00:18
I would so want to see that second show....that's absolutely my favorite era!
|
|
|
08/24/2010 at 00:12
Still kinda makes me sad as all hell that they're not stopping in Winnipeg.
THERE BETTER BE A DVD RELEASE. |
|
|
08/24/2010 at 00:11
I wish I could go there! If they do play stuff from No Substance and New America that's really good news. hopefully someone will post a video of rare songs on youtube or make an audio recording.. Anyway how much fun would it be to see all the 3 dates? I can't think of anything right now that is cooler than that
|

08/23/2010 at 23:58

08/23/2010 at 23:57
Yep, DVD please for us non-US residents. I'd go to NYC but I can't swim 3000 miles. My feet would get cold.

08/23/2010 at 23:56
House of Blouse? Seriously?
|
|
|
08/23/2010 at 23:47
Wow, wish I lived in NYC... They better film this for a DVD release!
