Bad Religion is celebrating their 40th anniversary tour with Alkaline Trio and War on Women, after having to postpone last year because… well you know. The second night of their 30 date tour brought them out to Vegas Saturday night at the Brooklyn Bowl. Just getting to Brooklyn Bowl on a Saturday proved to be its own feat. While parking on the strip remains a nightmare, I counted 14 Bad Religion t-shirts as I walked to the venue from my secret parking spot, and saw several people sporting new Rancid and Dropkick Murphy shirts from the show the night before. Staff were diligently checking vax cards (and negative covid tests), which hopefully makes everyone feel safer because once inside, fans were shoulder to shoulder. It’s been awhile since I’ve been at a show that packed, but I suppose being around for four decades warrants the attention. You know that Bad ...

Headliners Bad Religion are one of the bands that got me into punk, they’re coming off one of their best albums in a while with True North and it’s been about 7 years since I last saw them live.
